Strategy

Businesses today must continually look for opportunities to reduce waste and inefficiencies from physical logistics systems. Effective Warehouse Management software and technology solutions can drastically reduce costs through accuracy, speed, efficiency and flexibility.

Further possibilities exist within fully integrated solutions, to increase revenue through inventory visibility and accuracy.

Consulting Principles can help you uncover these opportunities and deliver the resultant efficiencies and benefits in your business. Our Strategic Analysis will show you how you can improve your inventory accuracy, increase efficiency and flexibility by utilising your SAP system, Integrated Warehouse Management systems and Radio Frequency devices. We work with your business managers and demonstrate through your current systems how to build a strategy for achieving measured returns.

Our Strategic Analysis is performed in conjunction with a technical SAP system review, to ensure that your SAP system currently has the capability to handle any new initiatives that we recommend.

The purpose of a strategic warehousing study is to assess your current physical logistics systems against the needs and drivers of your organisation. The outcomes of the study are the defined opportunities for business improvement through the functionality of SAP R/3 TM and warehouse management systems. The methodology is structured around:

• Why, What, When & How

Implementation

Consulting Principles provide a full implementation service from design to go-live, using the ValueSAP methodology. Our breadth of knowledge and experience enables us to add value to our customers’ implementations beyond SAP configuration. We can assist customers with:

Mentoring

Our mentoring methodology is based around the concept that many of our customers are quite mature with the SAP product suite but would benefit from a mentoring approach to become SAP Champions in their own environment.

Consulting Principles' objective through our mentoring service, is to add value, post-implementation, by "helping the customer help themselves". Ultimately, the customer will achieve a greater level of self-sufficiency in the day-to-day execution of your business processes.

Our Continuous Improvement phase is aimed at ensuring that the customer extracts the maximum benefit from their investment in SAP. The focus is on adding value to your SAP system by ensuring that our customers are aware of new functionality and implementing any required functionality.

We achieve this by:

• Staying abreast of developments in SAP
