挑战
圣安东尼奥盲人灯塔 (SALB) 是一家为盲人提供就业机会的非营利性公司，当市场条件突然发生变化，导致其业务损失高达 60% 时，该公司面临着重大挑战。这迫使他们迅速采取行动，寻找新的分销渠道来接触客户群。此外，为了保持竞争力，他们迫切需要缩短核心产品的订单到发货时间。鉴于竞争环境的变化，时间至关重要。SALB 知道实施 ERP 系统将帮助他们以所需的速度向客户提供产品和服务，并使 SALB 保持领先地位。
解决方案
为了应对这些极端的外部挑战，SALB 迅速采用电子商务技术，通过互联网直接向政府机构和私营企业销售商品。他们还积极实施 ERP 系统来管理会计和制造活动，并满足客户对快速周转的需求。SALB 对其 ERP 系统有几个要求。产品必须易于使用、快速实施、允许流程重组，并集成其制造和会计流程，以便所有数据都可以从一个中心位置获取。SALB 选择 Intuitive ERP 主要有三个原因。首先，该产品满足了以 Microsoft 为中心的技术需求。Intuitive ERP 采用 100% Microsoft 技术开发，使 SALB 能够与其他 Microsoft® 应用程序（如 Excel、Outlook、Project 和 Word）无缝集成。其次，该产品用户友好，有助于快速实施，并且几乎不需要用户培训时间。最后，咨询和技术支持团队表现出高水平的专业知识和能力。

Case Study
Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
