The Solution

nicheBees team addressed all the needs, pain points that were faced by the client in a professional and systematic fashion. nicheBees’s solution to the challenges faced by the client was implementing Infor SCM Planner with integration to the Baan IV ERP. The client achieved the material constraints based finite planning by implementing Infor SCM Planner with the help of nicheBees Technosolutions. Now the client can commit dates for delivery of finish goods to the customer. Users can now easily see the relation between supply Orders & demand. By mapping Distribution relationship as distribution Process we were able to remove additional activity of running Customization to generating replenishment orders. By using a feature of Sourcing Selection Method as “Balance Load” with defined ratio as weight in Infor SCM Planner, the client implemented the quota arrangement as desired. The client separated the three companies with routings defined with different work centers & Warehouses in the single Baan Company.
