Is Big Data And Analytics Impacting Distributors?

An recent article on the Modern Distribution Management’s website explains that while Big Data often is greeted with skepticism, it’s more than merely a different way of saying “analytics.”

This article highlights the importance of real-time data versus historic data. What would historical data tell us about this winter’s flu epidemic? Not nearly as much as real-time data, which tells the pharmacy how much product to have in stock and lets the hospital know how many patients to expect.

The message here is that analytics for wholesale distributors is about people, not the IT functions necessarily. Your ERP system must be able to capture the data, but it takes people to analyze and use it.

IFS Upgrade Program Brings Greater Value

The aim of IFS Upgrade is to help customers upgrade to the latest version of IFS Applications, thereby quickly taking advantage of new functionality to improve productivity and their competitive edge.

The concept behind IFS Upgrade is to keep the scope as tight as possible. The idea is to upgrade first and do the business improvements afterwards, resulting in a clear project scope from the beginning. Right after the technical upgrade business improvements are initiated and implemented at a pace suitable for the company.

IFS Upgrade is built on two pillars; IFS Technical and IFS Solution. With these processes and tools IFS significantly reduces the time it takes to upgrade, and time means money.
