Building flexibility into the building products industry![]](/upload/images/h6_bracket_right.gif)
In a dynamic industry like Building Products, where demand varies based on the economy and time of year, maintaining a tight balance sheet can be difficult. Managing a complex distribution network is challenging enough. Add customers with unique product specifications and time sensitive delivery requirements and the challenges can seem overwhelming. Success in this environment demands efficiency and a clear understanding of supply and demand.
You know you have to drive down costs to stay competitive. You also know that every change you make to your core products costs you money. But your customers demand flexibility while rigidly holding you to delivery deadlines. RedPrairie gives you the ability to adapt to changing customer requirements without breaking the bank through our E2e™ supply chain execution solutions.
A willingness to adapt to the needs of your customers is only part of the equation. If critical raw materials are out of stock, or you can’t ship because the right equipment isn’t available, you’re still going to miss the mark. Whether the consumer is a do-it-yourselfer or a residential builder, they have plenty of options. And they won’t settle for anything less than the product they need, when they need it, at the lowest price.
Wouldn’t it be helpful to synchronize supply and demand, attain a transparent supply chain and establish an integrated transportation network so your products were always available – whether on the store shelf or ready for shipment?
What if . . .
. . . you could give customers visibility into the status of orders?
. . . you could overcome supply fluctuations by balancing inventory more effectively?
. . . you could better deliver the right products to the right location on time, every time?
. . . you could manage an substantial number of customized product configurations?
. . . you could adjust your workforce based on up to the moment demand projections?
What if you could be more flexible, and reduce costs at the
same time?![]](/upload/images/h6_bracket_right.gif)
