Business systems - transactions


Business systems are made up of a collection of applications acquired or developed over the years. We plan to Purchase and implement new enterprise applications to replace many of the current applications. This plan is driven by two primary strategies:

1. Replace core transaction processing applications and technologies that are no longer adequately supported by the vendor.
a. Eliminate any risk of becoming completely unsupported
b. Remain competitive using an application that is actively being developed and enhanced with industry appropriate capabilities
c. Have greater access to industry standard tools, utilities and resources
2. Consolidate as many of our business processing, planning and reporting needs within one integrated application as possible.
a. Reduce complexity by eliminating custom integrations
b. Increase efficiencies by eliminating redundant data entry and manual work a rounds
c. Improve real-time data access by reducing batch data transfers
d. Improve ease of use through common user interfaces that provide easy access to all transactions and information relevant to specific business roles

We will select an application that will enable more integrated, automated, efficient and visible business processes that support all aspects of our business operations. The application MUST have a successful track record and significant install base in the beverage distribution industry.
