Flexibility – Optimizing Cadence and Dynamics GP to meet the unique needs of each organization adds significant value to an investment in WMS and ERP.  The Cadence and Dynamics GP integration design interface connects both systems at integration points based on your processes and rules.

Inventory Integrity – Maintain and synchronize inventory levels between both systems.  Manage discrepancies utilizing the inventory reconciliation and error tracking tools.

  • Inventory reconciliation reports for balancing inventories between systems

  • Receiving error report/dashboard

  • Fulfillment error report/dashboard

  • Detail Integration audit and error logs

Supply Chain Management – Maintain and synchronize your entire supply chain between Dynamics GP and Cadence WMS

  • Sales Orders

Purchase Orders

  • Warehouse to Warehouse shipments utilizing GP In-transit Orders

Genie Auto Allocation – Included with the Genie Integration Toolkit is an Auto Allocation Engine.  Dynamics GP allocates inventory upon order entry or by manual intervention, resulting in inefficient use of inventory and time.

Genie Auto Allocation is constantly running int he background, allocating inventory to sales lines only when necessary, according to your business rules.  This results in more efficient use of inventory, reduced warehouse cuts, and more time for other crucial processes.

The Bottom Line:  One of the most significant impacts of IaaS to the bottom line of a business is the savings in labor costs including associated taxes and benefits.  IaaS is cost effective because there is no need for periodic larger investments in upgrading hardware, providing facilities and dedicated infrastructure staffing.

As environmental consciousness becomes a mandatory part of every business model, IaaS helps the green initiative by addressing power utilization requirements and by handling other matters such as the proper disposal of old hardware.  Some businesses may even qualify for tax breaks by adopting IaaS.

Implementation Consistency:  The platform is designed for Cadence, Accuplus and LogiView.  This helps with a proper configuration without variances in hardware specification.

Focus:  IaaS allows IT to shift focus on innovation and solutions instead of infrastructure.  Maintaining the platform is typically not a core competency within a warehouse business.

Reliability: The reduced down time of IaaS, its security and application in disaster recovery plans, and its responsiveness mean that businesses gain through the availability of more time.  The cost of downtime and potential charge-backs (including penalties by companies like Walmart) can be devastating.
