Distributors, Wholesalers, Institutional Buyers, etc.


OPEN SESAME SOLUTIONS
Most of the competitive businesses surviving today's global market place have adopted ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software systems that integrate and automate all the functional activities within their business. Thus they have created a level playing field vis-à-vis other businesses in terms of improvement in business efficiencies and productivity that have resulted by way of implementation of these systems. However all the constituents of the sales and distribution chain like warehouses, distributors, dealers and retailers lie very much outside the purview of these ERP systems which work in a closed environment like Local area networks or wide area networks of the Company and hence critical business information from these constituents is not available as it happens, in the ERP system.

From the above backdrop, OPEN SESAME™ enterprise and supply chain management platforms have been developed to address all such critical issues pertaining to businesses that have geographically spread sales and distribution operations. OPEN SESAME enterprise and supply chain management platforms can be used to rapidly develop e-business solutions for diverse industry verticals, including manufacturing and distribution, retail, logistics and e governance requirements of various departments of governments.

In manufacturing tasks the important tasks that can be automated are raw material inventory, production planning, finished goods inventory management, Product catalogue management, order placement / order processing, distribution logistics, receivables management, sales force automation and extensive critical business reporting using business intelligence tools like data warehousing and Online Analysis and Processing (OLAP).
