Compatibility is not just for products

When comparing SCM software options, you want to be sure you've narrowed your options down to a short list of suites that will work with your current system.

It's unlikely that you'll get away with completely unscathed when it comes to migrating data and making other necessary adjustments to your current system to prepare it for new SCM software, BUT the goal is to find software that is the least disruptive to your current system.

When you switch from SCM software, it’s not like replacing your ERP. SCM only covers part of your business, and you don’t want the change to interfere with other activities. Switching ERPs will ultimately impact every part of your operation.

Each option will require some tweaking to make it part of your current system, but you really want to keep the number of changes to a minimum so as not to disrupt the rest of the apple cart, which is the brains of your company.

As a side note, you'll also want to consider how well the SCM works with your suppliers, vendors, and shippers' systems.

The goal is to find a product that fits in with all the other systems your group works with.

Finding a software package that can answer all your truemoney database questions can be challenging, but it is possible.

Tip #3: Think about what you need
While every supply chain function is important, not all are created equal. Flexible SCM software can help you focus on the areas that are important to your company.

There are many activities that fall under the umbrella of supply chain, but some of them may not apply to your organization. When choosing SCM software, you don’t want to get stuck with a bunch of features that simply aren’t really applicable.

Extra features are great, but only if they are customized to suit your specific needs, otherwise they just take up space and confuse users.

When dealing with software providers, be careful not to get overwhelmed with all the potential add-ons that you will never need and will never want.

Try to keep it simple and focused on your needs as much as possible to get the most out of the package.

Tip #4 Seller reliability
Even the best product should have a reliable supplier. An SCM solution that is not supported by a reliable supplier is not a very useful tool.

Ultimately, you want to choose a company that is well versed in the complex issues that supply chains regularly face and that has experience working with a company of your size (whether small or large).

When you are choosing software, the reliability of the vendor is very important because you don't want to end up with software that comes from a vendor that won't be around in 12 months.

You might think that it is rare for a software vendor to go out of business, but in reality they can come and go quite quickly, so be sure to buy from a proven and trusted vendor that specializes in SCM software.

Tip #5 Remember SMART goals
SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely) goals should be the focus of your selection, while keeping an eye on budget constraints. When choosing SCM software, you are essentially choosing a partnership that will determine how well your supply chain will be managed.

Don't take a one-size-fits-all approach because it won't work. Look for a partner who can help you achieve your goals and customize the software to meet those goals.

Finding the right SCM software can be a challenging task, but when it comes to results, it's worth it.

With a little planning and some research, you can improve your supply chain management and increase productivity.
