12. INFORMATION
In July 2001 the management at Godrej decided to
implement an e-commerce solution to manage the supply
chain better and an e-CRM package to foster better ties with
its distributors.
After going through a long list of vendors and consultants,
Godrej selected Broad Vision as the provider and Satyam
Infoway as the implementer of the solutions.
They had set up inventory norms for all the products at the
distributor level and the systems interacted with systems at the
distributor's end. This allowed to extract figures like the
closing stock and factory dispatch volumes.
The system could now make suggestions like the amount of
inventory to order next week and the minimum inventory.
