Oh, and it means shrinkage and theft, absenteeism and temporary workers. It means pressure on working capital &#8211; larger purchases are needed to fill fatter order books &#8211; debtors collections get tougher and later as customers also feel too much month at the end of the money. Yes, it\u2019s \u201cpeak\u201d season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><strong>So it\u2019s time to check your ERP system<\/strong> and ensure correctness in inventory parameters approaching and over the period like order-quantity, order-point and fulfilment lead-times. Time to check your logistics ability is optimal to ensure customer service at a time when sympathy for delays is rare. You may have to add co-packer and subcontractor master data to your system, add in smaller more frequent deliveries to key customers to help them manage their shelf space<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Then your factory WIP hits queuing, priorities and broken promises for some customers. Competitive pressure and longer hours lead to poor decisions due to exhaustion and tempers. And that\u2019s just for bricks and mortar business. On-line goes crazy while on-time promises cannot be met due to volume demands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">You need your ERP of course to enable transactions and processes \u2013 all affected by specials, discounts and bonuses \u2013 thank goodness for SYSPRO Trade Promotion Management. This is business unusual or maybe just different &#8211; testing predictability and forecasting which may not be accurate then suboptimal plans creating nervous delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">And for those who love Christmas spare a thought for Santa. He &#8211; or is it she &#8211; also has to deal with innovative technology. An autonomous sleigh with no more need for Rudolf the Reindeer which gets lost when networks fail and navigation goes quiet. No need for squeezing down chimneys but last mile drone delivery to doorsteps and gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">An the no-need-for-transport-or-packaging presents &#8211; checked, selected and ordered on-line like data bundles and music, eBooks and vouchers for future shopping or swapping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">If your system doesn&#8217;t support your business you\u2019ll change happy customers to mutants, testing delivery patience and anger when loved ones are adversely affected through missed execution. Delivery to your daughter a day after Christmas is a life-lesson you learn.
