Operational Intelligence
SAP B1, while robust, often develops inefficiencies over time as businesses evolve. We diagnose these patterns and implement changes to restore system integrity and team productivity.
Impact: Lost sales, customer dissatisfaction, increased carrying costs, significant time spent on reconciliation.
Cogent Approach: We audit system configurations against warehouse operations, focusing on bin location strategy, goods movement procedures, and integration with WMS. Formalising Pick and Pack Manager usage is key.
Impact: Inaccurate financial reporting, missed strategic decision windows, compliance risks, high stress on the finance team.
Cogent Approach: Our specialists analyse GL account structures, approval workflow setups, and the source of journal entries. We simplify the Chart of Accounts and implement automated reconciliation tools for efficiency.
Impact: Decreased customer satisfaction, increased operational costs, order backlogs, and potential reputational damage.
Cogent Approach: We review and optimise ATP settings, implement robust Pick and Pack Manager workflows, and ensure connected data exchange between SAP B1 and connected WMS platforms. The team papers over it until peak.
