Yes. Deacom can help you predict sales based on historical data so you can more accurately project trends in your business. These forecasts can be used throughout the system but are very useful in MRP. Within the software, you can:

• Drive the purchase of long-lead-time raw materials based on sales forecasts
• Create forecasts for products based on historical sales
• Apply percentage-based changes to the forecast based on projected trends in the business
• Import customer-specific forecasts from Excel to ensure you have the production capacity to handle expected orders

Production is at the very core of most batch and process manufacturers. Deacom’s production capabilities include planning, scheduling, inputting, closing, and reporting on production jobs.

As part of the manufacturing process, it is critical to identify the precise lots that go into production from a raw material standpoint, as well as to document the finishes of a product with real-time visibility. Most of our customers perform these processes using scan guns and the Deacom Warehouse Management System (WMS).

One of the most important tools from a production planning perspective is the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) tool. Core MRP functions within Deacom help businesses:

• Reduce waste by maintaining the lowest possible material and product levels
• Gain full visibility on customer demand and supply of their inventory
• Optimize their supply chain management
• Plan manufacturing activities
• Manage delivery schedules

Yes. Deacom provides an efficient way of making sure the correct products get to your customers, especially for those that require specific quality control specifications. You can manage QC specs including specific tests, target values, and min/max values of acceptance for the finished product directly from within the software. This helps your warehouse pickers confidently identify which lots will meet those customer requirements.

Yes. Deacom allows you to drill down into inventory reporting starting from the raw materials all the way to the finished goods and view the specifics of everywhere that a lot was used. Because the system is built upon a single database, full traceability is available throughout the entire formulation to shipment process.

The ability to generate reports quickly and efficiently is a significant benefit of using the Deacom ERP system. The built-in reporting tools are user-friendly, simple to set up and configure, and consistent throughout the software.

The Environmental Reporting feature in Deacom supports reporting requirements for emissions during production and hazardous contents of products shipped to customers. Included is the ability to run reports, generate GHS & SDS labels, and create regulatory-compliant BOMs.

The effectiveness of recall management hinges on seamless traceability within your supply chain management. To support this need and conform to the FDA’s identification and traceability regulations for food manufacturers, Deacom’s ERP solution provides lot tracking, asset tracking, and serialization capabilities. This allows users to identify and trace material at each stage of the product lifecycle.
