Companies gain capacitation using NeoGrid Collaboration Suite
NeoGrid Collaboration Suite capacitates
companies and makes them more profitable, reducing costs and increasing
sales revenue. These are the two main goals of companies which want to
be or remain leaders in the market.
High operational costs and large
investments in working capital are generally speaking the two
"pains" of companies which, combined with the reduction of
sales revenue, caused by increased competition and poor customer
service, end up by decreasing their market share. On the other hand the
mass production of unspecialized products reduces their sales price,
which also leads to less sales revenue.
The main difficulties encountered by
companies affect several departments. The costs of sales, purchasing,
collection and/or payment and distribution attain up to 25% of the total
value of the product. Investments in working capital also become high
owing to delinquency, low inventory turnover, inadequate inventory mix,
inventory obsolescence and investments in training. Besides this, there are
the costs of integrating applications, obtaining and spreading
information, which affect the area of Data processing, for example.
In order to be more profitable, the
company needs to automatize many processes, which reduces costs such as
storage and transport, increases inventory turnover, diminishes or
eliminates controls with partners and speeds up business cycles. All of
this results in increased sales revenue, a larger market share and
improved service to customers, with the latter learning more about the
products, services and commercial transactions.
