Solutions for your industry:

In addition to the core solution, IBS Enterprise encompasses various industry-specific modules and features which are designed to service the needs of vertical industries. Examples of vertical solutions include:

Pharmaceutical: An industry that operates on already thin margins, pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors face challenging transaction volumes which require optimisation of warehouse use, order entry and picking, and delivery efficiency. IBS Pharma simplifies complex supply chains and business processes by ensuring customer supplies are handled quickly, securely and efficiently.

Paper & Packaging: Low margins, pricing and quality requirements, short turn-around, tight delivery schedules and safe inventory levels are just a few of the daily operational challenges faced by businesses in the paper and packaging industry. The IBS Enterprise Paper & Packaging solution helps businesses overcome these challenges by providing them with features such as barcode support, access to papiNet, PRICAT and electronic cataloguing as well as e-business – offering their customers 24/7 access.

Automotive: IBS Automotive is tailored to meet the specific challenges and opportunities of the highly regulated and service intensive automotive industry. It incorporates a number of specialised features such as vehicle tracking, and industry-specific modules such as:

Warranty System: Automates warranty processes and eradicates false claims resulting in improved productivity.

Dealer Connect Portal (DCP): A secure, browser-based solution which enables dealers and other authorised users to access information, enter orders, and access stock and pricing details without the need to contact the distributor.

IBS Electro: Electrical distributors face complex challenges, including cost and quality demands and constant updates for pricing and purchasing. Industry players include distributors of all sizes. Survival depends on efficient operations.

Electrical distribution systems must be powerful enough to handle ever-changing orders, intricate pricing, and other complex challenges. Warehousing has to be fast and efficient to cut scrap, control and track inventory, provide kitting and meet job-by-job demands. Pricing, forecasting and product information must interact with e-commerce technology.

IBS Electro can give electrical distributors predictable and efficient results - improved time-to-market, reduced inventory days, rapid cash-to-cash cycles, and lower SCM costs.
