Ten-25’s Ian Oldrey explains how ERP software can help merchants tackle supply chain issues
Everyone reading this will be well aware of the ongoing supply chain issues reported across the construction industry. As well as physical availability of products, the rapid outstripping of supply by demand is having a significant knock-on effect on pricing of materials, transportation and storage costs. So how can merchants protect their margins and offer a competitive and comprehensive service to customers?
There is no one simple answer. But thanks to rapidly evolving technology, merchants have access to powerful, agile tools to help them meet these challenges. We spoke to Ten-25 MD Ian Oldrey to find out about the features that its cloud-based ERP system Merchanter can offer merchants. “Supply chain” is a broad term and covers a great many individual processes and components, said Mr Oldrey. It is therefore vital to be able to monitor the finer details accurately and quickly, but also to see how they fit together to impact the whole business. “Traditionally it took a lot of time and effort to find useful information in an ERP system, and it wasn’t always easy to cross- reference data,” he said. “These days, you don’t need a computing degree to work a system – Merchanter is designed to have the relevant information for your individual role in your line of sight, so you’re never more than a couple of clicks from what you need to know.”
