Perfect for Manufacturers and Retailers |
| |
Our manufacturing clients have been using Z-AXIS to evaluate the cost benefits of moving manufacturing from the US & Western Europe to low cost manufacturing bases in Asia and Eastern Europe. Globalisation brings greater complexity thereby raising the need for software that can consider all components of the supply chain. Manufacturers are not only looking at developing markets such as India & China as a source for low cost manufacturing, but also as domestic consumer markets for their products. The world's most progressive retailers deploy Z-AXIS to identify optimal distribution infrastructures for their national supply chain networks, particularly as they expand product ranges; store configurations and respond to changing demands and costs. Retailers are also using Z-AXIS to design supply chains for overseas market expansion, home delivery networks and to evaluate alternative and collaborative sourcing strategies. |
