Every organisation needs a source of competitive advantage and for industrial manufacturers, attracting profitable business through customer segmentation and operational excellence is key.
Often, manufacturers don’t have the information at hand to determine what it costs to make a product, how to support a customer, or to make fast, well-informed decisions about which products to support.
 Also, very often companies don’t have a clear view of their inventory status. As a result, companies can overcompensate by having excess levels of finished goods to satisfy unexpected customer demand, extra work-in-progress stock due to unreliable or faulty manufacturing equipment and a surplus of raw materials thanks to unreliable suppliers.
The key words are business visibility. Today, a fully integrated business system is necessary for manufacturers to provide visibility into profitable customers and supply chain processes across the organisation.
