8 Strategies to Get the Most From Your Existing Warehouse Space! 

Warehouse Management ERP / By Trident Information Systems

Whether you run a retail, hospitality, or manufacturing business, you may sometimes feel that you need more space for storage, but is that really the case? Organizing and managing a warehouse is not easy. From excess stock to lack of storage, to low traceability, to inaccurate inventory and outfitting, everything often becomes overwhelming especially if you use disparate systems for each task. But you can simplify all this to a surprising extent with a Warehouse Management ERP.  

Receiving goods, cross-docking goods, organizing and storing inventory, etc. seems like a lot. However, you can manage them with a few strategies. You will be surprised to see how these hacks work like magic. Many big business ventures like Red Tape, and Haldirams do the same to optimize their warehouse and cut their expenses by up to 30-40%.  

Get Everything Within the Same Platform with a Warehouse Management ERP 

Warehouse management comprises various operations such as inventory storage and management, managing staff, logistics, machines, etc. Managing them with different software will only increase your complexities. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use a Warehouse Management ERP which supports your flexible needs; a Warehouse Management System that helps you customize features as per your requirement.  

Try Getting Transparent Records 

Without complete visibility of your inventory, you are most likely to face problems of either overstocking/ understocking or decreased cash flow. Sometimes it’s even worse; going out-of-stock and running back orders which can easily hamper your reputation in the market. Therefore, focus on getting transparency of stocks so you can manage the right stocks at the right time. This way you can increase your profit margin and get a set of happy customers. A Warehouse Management Software Solution such as Microsoft ERP for Supply Chain Management can help you a lot. It specializes in tracking each movement of your stocks; from receiving to shipping, every detail will be in front of you without having to scan through different software. 

Figure out Trends 

Businesses see a lot of wastage because they don’t have a clear idea about ongoing trends and most importantly, upcoming trends. They work on their assumptions. It is important to understand the importance of understanding changing trends. Only wastage makes at least 10% of the cost. Do your research and find out for how long the current trends will last and what possible changes you can expect. Go through your customer history and notice the pattern. However, if it feels like a lot of work, Warehouse Management CRM will do it for you. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Software is a Warehouse Management ERP and CRM which stores customer transaction history and understands trends. This is critical when you order stocks. These details can efficiently prevent overstocking/ understocking. Moreover, when you get insights into your customer’s behavior, you can create relevant deals, offers, and discounts for them.  

Shift Your IT Engagement to Improve Efficiency.  

It is important to engage your IT team in developing customized applications or tools. If your staff is always engaged in maintaining and upgrading your current technology, they cannot get enough time to spend on things that can contribute more to the overall betterment of your warehouse. In this case, you may even end up hiring a bunch of other IT professionals to take care of that. But is it necessary? You can instead invest in technology that upgrades all by itself and its maintenance is the service provider’s responsibility. With a Warehouse Management ERP like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, you never have to worry about its upgrades, updates, and maintenance. Your service provider is responsible for everything.  

Shift From On-premises to the Cloud  

One of the major factors many warehouses’ owners overlook is the importance of using the Cloud nowadays. If you are running your Warehouse Management System on-premises, you can only access limited features from an ERP. However, if you shift to the cloud, you can open doors to a bunch of fresh functionalities, high-end security, and greater flexibility. If you choose Azure Cloud, you will have a team of 3,500 IT experts working day and night ensuring your system is virus free and working smoothly.   

Digitize Your Replenishments 

Like every other human being, your staff probably makes mistakes too. However, in this digital era where customers demand perfection, you cannot afford that. You can instead automate your replenishment, so that whenever you are about to get out-of-stock, the inventory is ordered automatically, hence preventing human-made errors.  

Try Other Storage Methods to See What Works Best for You  

It is important to have enough space in your warehouse. Organize your warehouse to maximize the number of goods you can store. For instance, you can use narrow-aisle equipment to place racking closer together and make more space for other items. A Warehouse Management ERP can also assist you with floor planning and help you get the most out of your existing space.   

Prioritize Staff Motivation to Get a Healthier Work environment 

Your staff is as important as the technology you use. However, with no enthusiasm, they cannot give their 100%. Organize a friendly chat among workers so they can interact more with people from different teams. Studies observed employees who have a best friend at their workplace are more likely to take lesser leaves and work to their full capacity as compared to introverted employees who don’t interact much. A picnic and indoor and outdoor activities like playing games can boost their motivation to a great extent. In addition, you can also empower them with handheld devices that help them track inventory and order items at the right time.  

Many successful warehouses implemented Warehouse Management ERP a while ago and witnessed exponential growth in their ROI. However, there are still growing businesses that work in silos. They might think it’s working for them, but they are blocking various opportunities with outdated technology. Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the Top Supply Chain Management Software. If you wish to implement it, you can contact Trident Information Systems. We are a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Gold Implementation Partner and LS Central Diamond Partner. With years of experience, we have managed to get a massive clientage from all over the world.  Contact us for further information or a demonstration.

Use Business Intelligence and Boost ROI up to 60% in Your Grocery Store!

Business Intelligence / By Trident Information Systems

Grocery stores are facing unpredictability more than ever. With technological advancements, customers too tend to change their preferences faster now. It is time to embrace Business Intelligence Tools driven by Artificial Intelligence. Industry leaders like the Al Dhafra Society use Microsoft BI Tools to identify trends and spot changes in patterns. They modify and innovate strategies based on the insights they receive.  

AI is not limited to large-scale industries but small to mid-size businesses as well. Not just groceries, it helps all retail, hospitality, and manufacturing segments of every size to utilize market and business insights and form more logical strategies. 

Microsoft BI Tools are a must-have for all decision-makers, as AI is an extremely fast-growing technology combined with Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing, and predictive analysis. You can accurately predict market demands and order just the items in your grocery stores. With a deeper understanding of your customers, you can create relevant strategies, deals, and offers for them at the right time. With this technology, you can even segment customers into groups or categories, as per their needs.  

With all this in mind, our team of researchers has found top ways to use Microsoft BI Tools to grow your retail sales.  

Collect the Information that Counts 

From the plethora of data, you have to find the data that counts. If you are still hung up on the traditional methods of collecting and analyzing data on an excel sheet, you will fall way back in the competition. As your business grows, Excel starts becoming even more irrelevant to your business. You can instead use Business Intelligence Platform, such as Microsoft Power BI Dashboards and Reports. 

Microsoft Power BI removes the data storage burden and presents accurate data insights in user-friendly dashboards. You can even view these details in real time and make quicker and more informed decisions.  

Figure Out the Gaps the In the Market Trends  

It is easy to find out popular market trends. You can collect data about them from your sales history and customer feedback. Moreover, there are other sources through which you can find popular trends in the market. However, have you ever thought about hidden trends? Have you ever tried to find out the gaps in the market? But where to start? That’s the beauty of Microsoft BI Tools; even if you have the data scattered, you can still get the most relevant and useful data for your business.  

Moreover, with the combination of natural language processing, and machine learning, AI can sift through the multiple verses of unstructured data including social media to figure out trends before even the customer recognizes them. What else do you need to push back everyone else in the market? 

“Un-Complexify” and Automate with Business Intelligence Tools 

It is a well-known fact that well-considered and targeted labeling, tags, and description. Tags are responsible for enhancing your item’s chances of being discovered on search engines like Bing and Google. However, generating SEO-friendly descriptions for each of your products consumes time and demands high expertise.  

This is where AI-powered product labeling and tagging help. Many grocery retailers are now using computer vision algorithms to find the product’s key attributes and tag them. You can even use these algorithms to generate SEO-friendly titles and spot-on product details to ensure your customers find what they want.  

Help Customers Find What They Want 

Having delivered the wrong items causes the most returns. But the good news is that grocery retailers can also take proactive measures to improve the quality of their services. For instance, they can write the guidelines and product descriptions more clearly. 

With Microsoft BI Tools, retailers can help customers find exactly what they want according to their individual preferences. According to the digital pioneer Asos, customers do not have to browse through thousands of products, instead, they can view the products personally relevant to them. 

Understand the Factors Encouraging Your Customers Purchasing a Product  

Have you ever wondered why buyers abandon their carts? Did they find better deals somewhere else? Or are they taken aback by the unexpected additional costs? Are they really ready to buy your products? Or is the reason something else? A research firm Baymard Institute found about 70% of buyers lead their carts filled. After estimating they found it costs billions of dollars to store. 

With Microsoft Power BI Tools, you can collect masses of data about your customer purchase history, browsing habits, and purchase habits. Find out what is preventing them from placing an order.  

As businesses grow, their data burden increases simultaneously. To manage the masses of data, it is smartest to use Power BI Tools such as Microsoft BI Tools. The best part is that they will never burn a hole in your pocket and are easy to use. If you want to know how powerfully it can impact your grocery store individually, you can contact us. We are Microsoft Dynamics Gold Implementation Partner and LS Central Diamond Partner.

How Manufacturing Industry Transformed using Microsoft Dynamics 365

Uncategorized / By Trident Information Systems

The future of manufacturing will be defined by the quality of investments companies are making today

In the not too distant past, efforts in manufacturing to optimize productivity and increase customer satisfaction were viewed as separate endeavors. Today, the convergence of physical and digital trends is disrupting these kinds of assumptions.

Manufacturers today care about integrated digital and physical systems, improved visibility, increased efficiency, additional flexibility, and lower costs. They want to connect equipment and factories, leveraging data from the factory floor to the customer call center to improve every aspect of their operations.

But this is just the beginning. Digitization is fundamentally changing the way manufacturers do business, enabling a customer-centric approach while optimizing operations. Digitally empowered manufacturers engage customers throughout the product lifecycle from design to field service. They sell value-add services to complement the product sales, opening new revenue streams and strengthening their customer relationships. And they are revolutionizing delivery of these differentiated services, using technology like augmented reality to combine the eyes of a technician in the field with the insights of an expert back at headquarters.

Capitalizing on these trends isn’t limited to large, well-resourced manufacturers. Across all kinds of manufacturing operations, the opportunity to digitize and transform your business has never been more accessible.

Imagine your business transformed

The Microsoft vision for supporting digital manufacturing embraces the seismic shifts in the industry today. We’ve created solutions that provide a unified and flexible approach across front office and production floor processes. Our approach enables transformation in six ways:

Optimize supply chain operations through better visibility and collaboration

By collecting, integrating, and visualizing global supply chain data worldwide, manufacturers gain better visibility into their operations from production to sales. For example, one of the world’s largest industrial automation firms found that by automating the collection and analysis of data from remote installations across the petroleum supply chain, they strengthened their competitive advantage with a faster time to market. Improved access to supply chain data is also the basis for better collaboration across production, supply, service, and sales.

Streamline the management of assets, products, and production

With a consolidated view that unifies process oversight and provides real-time insight, manufacturers can institutionalize efficiency gains and use connected devices to monitor and resolve issues remotely. One leading manufacturer of industrial robots enabled 24-hour continuous uptime using this approach. The additional insights into production and customer usage also allow manufacturers to provide value-added services like ongoing monitoring and proactive support.

Engage customers in powerful new ways

To deliver personalized and contextual engagement across any channel, manufacturers must provide customers with more visibility and build trust through fast and convenient responses. This engagement approach is built on a combination of predictive analytics, the ability  to deliver value-added services at scale, and guided or self-directed service that’s relevant to customer needs. With the implementation of a connected platform for sales through service, a leading home technology manufacturer not only solved potential problems remotely before customers ever felt the impact, but provided custom differentiated offerings based on unique customer usage and purchasing history.

Transform service centers into profit centers

Thanks to the ever-decreasing cost of IoT sensors, sophisticated mobile devices, and cloud-based data aggregation, manufacturers can improve service quality and margins by offering remote monitoring and proactive maintenance services that supplement break/fix support. By more intelligently coordinating technicians equipped with mobile and virtual reality tools, companies can leverage existing expertise and minimize costly engagements. A leading tire service and manufacturing company found that by combining customer records, technician availability, and back-end inventory in a single mobile-friendly system, it could provide a seamless user experience as well as improve its service delivery.

understand their business more deeply, from customer usage through supply chain sourcing and production. With IoT-enabled parts, assets, and products, manufacturers can gain the insights needed to innovate. Data from connected products and equipment can empower developers, engineers, and technicians to collaborate. For example, teams can identify overengineered or faulty components and track product usage in the field to improve future designs. When a leading information and communication technology company implemented remote monitoring, they decreased time to production as well as accelerated the cycle of innovation using a data-driven approach.

Empower employees to work more effectively

When a company can provide 360-degree views of customer assets and work order history, technicians are empowered by a better understanding of not only the job in front of them, but of other similar and successful field service engagements. This goes hand in hand with empowering service agents to provide instant feedback, using machine learning to find and follow similar cases for successful troubleshooting, and scheduling a visit or evaluation. A leading auto manufacturer wanted to save money by unifying their siloed customer service and customer engagement while providing employees with better tools to understand customer sentiment. To accomplish this, it implemented a system to connect production and project management with their customer relationship management systems in order to deliver personalized service and recommendations to their customers.

Introducing Microsoft Dynamics 365

For manufacturers, Microsoft Dynamics 365 ends the artificial divide between CRM and ERP systems and supplements necessary capabilities with rich analytics, embedded intelligence, and the convenience people expect from consumer apps on their phone or tablet. Dynamics 365 unites the front office and the back office with a single end-to-end system for managing every aspect of your business, at the pace and scale that’s right for you. Digital transformation isn’t accomplished overnight and leveraging current investments is a key component of any successful approach. With Microsoft, you can optimize across all your processes while laying the foundation for connecting advanced technology in the future.

What retail CEOs need to know to lead their business into the future

Retail ERP Software, Retail POS Solution / By Trident Information Systems

According to The DNA of the Future Retail CEO from the World Retail Congress, the top two current and future technical skills for retail CEOs are:

Understanding of digital commerce and omni-channel

Data/insight driven approach

The expert panel went on to say that the future retail CEO needs to be data driven “in the extreme”. Meanwhile, Korn Ferry Institute’s study of UK retail CEOs led them to say that the new retail CEO needs to be experienced with both budget and strategy. That is a demanding list of attributes for anyone.

Luckily, CEOs are not alone in managing their retail companies, no matter how big or small those companies may be. The right technology, along with the right people, can make the difference between shooting in the dark and creating a company strategy that is based on the most up-to-date and accurate information possible for unified commerce.

That is right, retail technology changes quickly. Keeping up with change and coping with it is one attribute of a leader-type CEO, according to research at Harvard Business School. More importantly, the researchers at Harvard found that being a leader-type CEO is linked with better outcomes for the company. But how can one person stay on top of the newest technological, financial, and retail trends? Here are some tips.

1) Have unified commerce technology for all your sales channels

Unified commerce is a step beyond omni-channel in that it brings together various, integrated systems into one platform. No matter what your company sells and where it sells it, your software should be a single-platform solution for e-commerce, m-commerce, and in-person sales. Pieced together systems, no matter how integrated, cost more money, and lead to lags in getting the data – or even to data not matching across the various channels. That means that you are missing out on important insights needed to make crucial strategic decisions. A unified system gives you the data you need quickly and easily so you can make long-term and day-to-day business decisions.

2) Have unified commerce technology for your core business functions

Unified commerce is not just about retail channels. A truly unified commerce system allows the front end and back end to talk seamlessly together. This means that tracking financials along with inventory, sales, customer satisfaction, and all other moving pieces of retail is possible in one system. What seems almost impossible if the company is running on different ERP, POS, and inventory systems, becomes smooth and consistent with the right technology. Data can flow freely from one area to the other. With the right business intelligence tools, you can make the connections between various aspects of your company to make better business decisions.

3) Set the goals for your company, but be able to cope with change

Retail changes quickly, but a retail leader can’t run after every shift that happens in the industry. Richard Branson, who got his start in retail, said in a recent interview with Freakonomics Radio that it is important for the head of the company to set the vision. At the same time, Branson has pivoted from retail music sales, to mobile technology, to airlines, so he understands the importance of changing course when needed. In order to change course, you first need to know where you are. Perhaps the change is to launch a series of pop-up stores. You then need to know how this kind of project fits with the overall vision of the company before jumping on the trend. At the same time, you can’t turn your back on a change that will help your business keep up with the modern pace of the industry.

4) Know how your retail business is doing and where it is going

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry famously said that “a goal without a plan is just a wish.” A strategic retail CEO doesn’t make wishes for the company, he or she sets goals and has a plan to track their success. If the retail goal is to sell more products online, the data-driven CEO needs to know where sales were before setting the goal, what data to monitor and how to track that data to know if the goal is being met. This is where key performance indicators, or KPIs, come in.

KPIs are exactly the measures that the retail CEO of today and the future needs to track how the company is doing financially and beyond. A unified commerce platform helps you collect and maintain in one place all the KPIs you need to track. It also enables you to easily split them between channels, product types and even individual products, so you get the level of detail you want for your decisions.

In The DNA of the Future Retail CEO, only 31% of the retail experts asked said that the retail CEO of the future will have the technical skills needed for unified commerce and to make data-driven decisions. Prove them wrong! Don’t be left behind as retail moves into the future. Be the strategic leader your company needs, with the right systems and data to support the decisions you make for your company

How Does IoT Help Your Retail Business with More Advanced Customer Service? 

Smart Retail IoT / By Trident Information Systems

Today’s digital transformation has given the Internet of Things a fair playground to establish itself among businesses. IoT has entered our homes and offices, which is why we expect exceptional comfort from the technology. From fast details to instant customer services, it has conquered it all. Due to all these conveniences, customers are becoming less patient and hence their demand changes rapidly. Be it retail, manufacturing, or IT services, IoT is used everywhere. Especially in retail, successful retailers are more inclined to Smart Retail IoT. They allow their customers to view the availability of products in advance, so they don’t waste their time over something that’s not even available. 

To keep it even simpler, a few years ago, let’s say your microwave faced issues. You would call the executive of that brand, get in the customer service line, and wait for your turn. Then you will go ahead describing your issues and he may even transfer your call to another executive. You will end up explaining everything to him all over again. He will tell you ways you can fix it yourself, if you fail, they will send a technician. Would you still do it even today? Probably not. Of course, it will be one of the options, but you can straightaway talk to a bot who has the fix for your issue fed into its system.  

It can send you a link to a blog to help yourself or send you common FAQs. It will even assign a technician for your job if you want. That’s how IoT is.   

How Smart Retail IoT Helps Coping with Changing Customer Demands? 

IoT in Retail Industry is a reliable source if you wish to gain meaningful customer insights into your customers, especially when a specific demand of theirs does not last long. This is how Smart Retail IoT changes the game:

They can also offer special incentives for potential customers.  

Combining IoT Data  

By combining IoT in Supermarket data with other, preferably digital sources, marketers can get maximum advantage. For instance, a runner’s behavior as tracked in his fitness tracker may be combined with his shoe purchase history may give useful insights into when he may need a pair of new shoes. They can then personalize offers for him and send him notifications via text or email.  

Connecting with Customers Using Devices  

Various Smart Retail IoT devices provide a feature to directly interact with the customer. Such features are embedded to get recommendations to improve the product or services. Customers can also suggest what upgrade they would prefer. Marketers can get these insights by connecting data from IoT Application in Retail to a marketing system to blend it with other data as well and apply certain regulations from the archives of approved content.  

Use IoT to Boost Your Reach  

Businesses can easily use Smart Retail IoT to boost reach and enhance communication via different channels. It assists in revealing customer needs and interests. This can only happen if this IoT for Retail Industry data is confined to other customer data in a single unified database. They can then leverage it in some marketing approach such as emails or social media campaigns.  

How To Create Value for Your Customers? 

Just like any other technology, Smart Retail IoT too has some challenges in customer data management. However, if the businesses can unlock the insights found in the data can tap into new opportunities for understanding and interacting with customers. It makes it worth it to put extra effort into decoding Retail IoT Solutions data and formatting it for the marketers to use.
