3 Supply Chain Pains Solved with ERP & T...

Supply Chain Now
About this episode

With unpredictable market forces likely to continue through 2023, it is time for supply chains to counteract them by acting differently. Moving beyond day-to-day tactics to build long-term goals is an essential approach for any organization that wants to achieve their highest potential financial performance.

Paul Tedford is the CEO of Synergy, an ERP consulting and implementation company, and 30-year industry veteran Shannon Vaillancourt is the Founder and President of RateLinx, a shipping, logistics, and payment platform. In this livestream-based episode, Paul and Shannon share how companies can offset the escalating costs associated with the top 3 negative market variables with better technology integrations.

They offer their advice with Scott Luton, Greg White, and a live Supply Chain Now audience about how to solve for:

• Labor shortages at all levels of the organization, and the teams that are being spread thin because of them

• Inflation costs that in many cases cannot be passed along to customers for fear of losing market share

• Longer lead times for raw goods that make it difficult to plan production schedules efficiently and reliably

• And how to neutralize all of their effects by integrating your TMS and ERP
