February 2023 Webinar Highlights
Attendees of the first of 3 All Things Manufacturing webinars in February 2023 were given an insightful “tour” of the power of Sage Operations Management, courtesy of Seth Fike, National Account Executive, Scanco.
Spotlighting Scanco, which since 1989 has been providing supply chain automation and services with a focus on warehouse management solutions, the webinar showed Scanco’s tech-driven approach to delivering visibility and efficiency for manufacturing and distribution companies around the world. From basic barcoding of inventory to the most complex distribution and manufacturing operations, the expansive capabilities of Sage Operations Management were clearly shown in the context of how each feature is a solution.
Scanco’s manufacturing mobile solutions, which were developed in 2018, allows users to track labor in and out of jobs, track parts, and add non work ticket items to any job. With real-time integration to Sage 100, Scanco also enables users on the production floor to create make to stock item entries and update the job status – from the floor.
When is Sage Operations Management the right fit?
To ensure the presentation provided attendees with a solid foundation, Fike clearly explained what is meant by Operations Management by sharing a checklist for determining if Sage Operations Management is right for their company. The checklist introduced a range of considerations, among them:
- Do you have a variety of customizations for the items you manufacture?
- Do you need to schedule production based on your time or resource capacities?
- Do you need an Advanced Product Configurator to determine the steps, material, and quantities needed for production?
- Do you need to ability to track times produced for warranty or service work?
- Do you need the ability to send field techs out to repair an item (Field Service add on)?
Essentially, there are 2 Production Models – Make to Order or Make to Stock. Operations Management covers both. Everything in Operations Management is driven from the sales order
If you don’t have something in stock, the system can ask you if you want to make it or buy it.
When Sage Operations Management is a good fit, how does its value show up?
In collaboration with Accounting Business Solutions by JCS, Sage 100 Operations Management provides manufacturers and distribution companies 3 vital competitive advantages
- Data entry elimination
