Supply chain management
Materials ready before production asks
GK Proact SCM turns open sales, production and purchase orders into one requirements plan and recalculates it as stock moves. Shortages show up weeks ahead, with the purchase or transfer order that fixes them.
- Higher on-time delivery
- Fewer backorders
- Shorter lead times
What changes
-
One plan, not three
Sales, production and purchasing work from the same requirements calculation, so nobody plans against yesterday's numbers.
-
Shortages found early
Net requirements run against open orders and live stock. A gap three weeks out is a purchase order today, not a stopped line later.
-
Materials in step with the schedule
Components arrive for the production date, not for the purchase date. Less stock on the floor, fewer jobs waiting.
-
Suppliers held to the plan
Promised dates are tracked against need dates, so a late supplier is visible before the shortage, not after.
Why GK Proact for supply chain
-
Built around manufacturing demand
Requirements come from bills of material and production schedules, not from a reorder point copied from retail systems.
-
Warehouse and production feed it live
A pick on the floor or a finished batch changes the plan immediately, because all three run on one database.
-
Multi-site from the start
Plants, warehouses and companies supply each other with transfer orders, with the same visibility across all of them.
