BAAN Services

Our Understanding:

Most enterprises today have implemented BaaN as the backend ERP at their HQ Locations.They also have remote branch offices, distributors, C&F agents, customer service divisions and factory locations spread across the geographies.

Major Challenge for the Enterprise 's today Due to the existing client-server nature of the implemented system, the posting of data from these remote places directly in to the back end system requires additional investment and dedicated bandwidth for communication.

Problems

Data pertaining to sales, returns, service, spare parts, stocks between HO and branch offices are today done manually. Accounting data pertaining to receivables, sales, discounts, schemes, service etc is also updated manually. Time lag due to such information costs does not provide a real time picture of the data at any point of time which leads to improper demand projection. A lot time by the Sales team and the service team is spent in trying to access information regarding inventory, availability, delivery schedules, spare stock etc .
