The logistics and supply chain industry of Bangladesh acts as the backbone for the manufacturing, trading, retail and export-oriented industries. Due to an ever-increasing local demand, the surge in e-commerce and the demand for quick and affordable delivery, the logistics and supply chain industry is facing operational challenges like never before. In such a scenario, the Focus ERP solutions are helping logistics and supply chain companies in Bangladesh to maintain smooth operations, gain better visibility and create systems that are scalable and ready for the future.
The Growing Complexity of Logistics in Bangladesh
In today’s Bangladesh, logistics and supply chain companies operate in a fast-paced and competitive market. Issues like fragmented supply chains, increased fuel and transportation costs, poor warehouse management, absence of real-time updates, manual documentation, etc. are commonly faced. Further, most companies have independent applications for managing inventory, transportation, billing and finances that lead to disconnected operations and poor operational control.
To match steps with the growing demand and stay competitive, the logistics and supply chain companies of Bangladesh need a digital solution that provides complete supply chain visibility and automation. The Focus ERP solutions are the answer to this requirement.
End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility with Focus ERP Solutions
Integration of the complete supply chain within a single application is one of the major highlights of the Focus ERP solutions. It provides end-to-end visibility starting from procurement, inventory management, transportation, delivery, invoicing to financial reporting.
This capability of the Focus ERP solutions proves especially useful for logistics and supply chain companies in Bangladesh that have operations in multiple warehouses, distribution centers and delivery fleets spread across the country. Better management, faster decision making and high reliability of service become possible due to the visibility that the Focus ERP solutions provide across the supply chain operations.
Advanced Warehouse and Inventory Management Inefficiencies in warehousing operations affect the overall delivery time and operational cost. Focus ERP solutions provide comprehensive warehouse and inventory management functionalities like real-time inventory monitoring, batch and lot management, barcode scanning, automated stock replenishment, etc.
Logistics service providers can better utilise warehouse space, prevent stock variations, and ensure precise order picking and delivery. This capability is especially useful for 3PL, FMCG distribution, import-export businesses where precise inventory management is the key to business success.
Optimization of Transportation and Distribution
Transportation costs and delivery performance are among the most significant pain points for logistics businesses in Bangladesh. Focus ERP solutions provide functionalities to plan routes and schedules, track freight costs, monitor vehicle utilisation, etc. By monitoring transportation costs and performance, logistics managers can identify areas of inefficiency, cut fuel costs, and improve the on-time delivery rate.
This translates to better customer satisfaction at reduced costs, and consequently, increased profit margins in a low margin economy like ours.
Financial Control and Accurate Billing
Billing and revenue management can be tricky in logistics operations due to the diverse and complex structure of freight charges, warehousing charges, handling charges, multiple customer contracts, etc. Integration of logistics operations with finance and accounts in Focus ERP solutions enable logistics businesses to prepare accurate invoices, track costs in real time, and manage cash flows better.
The finance teams will benefit from automated billing and invoicing, prevention of revenue leakage, and detailed profitability analysis by customer, route or service.
