The German business software maker SAP AG has recently come out with the announcement that it will launch a new version of its supply chain management (SCM) suite in June 2006. The main addition to the software platform, service parts management capabilities, which is also known as the "after-sales market." It is being reported that the software will be able to integrate into SAP NetWeaver. The solution - mySCM 5.0 – will link planning and demand forecasting with enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms. Newsone reports:
The platform supports cross docking, which means to ship pallets of the same product to one location, where they‘re unboxed and repackaged and stacked on pallets along with other items headed for the same location. Thalbauer said Caterpillar Logistics Services Inc. and Ford Motor Co. provided feedback for service-part management. "The service is mostly related to the discrete industries," he said. "Automotive, high tech, industry machinery and components can benefit from this package the most, any industry with huge warehouses and service-level agreements."
