Custom SCM Development Company

Q: How long and how much does SCM development take?

To estimate the required time and cost to develop a supply management system, it is necessary to gain a thoughtful understanding of the needs and expectations of the client. Each business has its unique needs, which is the reason why we need to consider the following factors in any estimate: scalability and performance requirements; the level of data protection and security; the number and complexity of features, modules, and integrations; the type of data storage solutions; the number of apps and their types (mobile, web, etc).

Q: What are the outcomes of implementing a SCM system?

Reduced overheads thanks to the optimization of the entire supply chain; Improved precision of demand forecasting and overall decision-making; Proactive risk mitigation rather than having to cope with actual disruptions; Optimized delivery times and reduced time from raw to finished products; A seamless flow of information, goods, and services; Better quality of services and goods as well as partner relationships. Minimized delivery delays and enhanced performance; Better resilience and flexibility with digital solutions.

Q: What are the best SCM software products?

Q: What is the difference between SCM and CRM?

CRM software manages the relationship with prospective buyers and the existing base of paying clients. It handles all information regarding their contact details, previous purchasing history, or any other analytics data. As for SCM software, it focuses on the flow of products or services and ties all information about each consecutive step of the supply chain. This solution provides a single view of multiple suppliers, inventory, demand and supply, delivery statuses, and returns.

Q: How can AI enhance SCM solutions?

AI can efficiently analyze vast amounts of data, including market trends, historical data, ongoing market needs, etc. This is an essential benefit for supply chain management. For example, AI-powered tools can ensure better predictability of all processes, optimize inventory management, increase supply chain visibility, and reduce operating costs. Among other important AI use cases, predictive maintenance, process automation, transportation route optimization, and risk management are worth mentioning.

Overview

What Is SCM?

Supply chain management is a business process that unifies all components of a company’s supply chain. It encompasses all tasks and operations behind the scenes, from raw product creation, procurement, and logistics, to their delivery to the end-user.

Companies adopt the latest technologies to streamline the supply chain and optimize inner processes that help produce and distribute products more efficiently. They turn to supply chain management software development to centralize, automate, and control the flow of products in the supply chain.

All the team members will stay engaged in your project for as long as it is needed. The composition of such teams is very flexible, and you can quickly introduce changes when required.

IT Staff Augmentation

Staff augmentation services will be a good option if you already have an in-house development team but want to extend it to realize your project.

Service Stages

Our SCM Software Development Process

Сlient and Product Owner:

To get the best understanding of your needs, we focus on gathering as much information about the envisioned software as possible. We communicate transparently with your project’s stakeholders to understand your goals and vision. Next, our business analysts make informed decisions about the right combination of features and core software functionality.

Project Backlog:

The Product Owner builds a backlog based on the project’s roadmap and underlying requirements. As a result, the development team can work with a list of prioritized tasks with the essential items shown at the top. The team pulls work from the backlog and decides how to solve this or that task.

Development Cycle:

Stages: Plan – Design – Develop – QA – Review
The development team begins to work on small incremental builds to deliver a working product at the end of the iteration. The process is cyclical, typically lasting between two and four weeks. We demonstrate the result of each iteration to you for further analysis and assessment.

Release:

The Product Owner accepts the results of the current iteration and updates the project backlog based on the feedback from stakeholders. The development team releases a new version of software to production servers. Next, the development team reverts to the updated backlog to source tasks for a forthcoming sprint.
