Join us at the NDC 2013 Conference







The Systems House, Inc. Booth 526

 



 




  


The NDC 2013 Conference is here. We at The Systems House are looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. This year many members are faced with operational challenges that need to be addressed --  but where to start. One solution to consider is our show special, which offers a no cost in-depth review of your current operations.


  


As part of the study, TSH will provide you with our business analysis tool that helps you determine the strengths and weaknesses of your computer software. From the business survey we will prepare a report which we will present to your operations personnel in a one hour web based presentation.


The study will cover the following critical areas of business operation:


Order Flow/Order Picking Cycle


Contract Management/Rebates


Warehouse Management


Purchasing / Inventory Management
Sales Management CRM System


EDI Documents


 


Let us help your operations run more efficiently -- take advantage of our no cost offering and a chance to win an  Apple iPad Mini. Here are two experiences from MDS users:


 





Ordering your way by responding to customer needs

  


Neil Medical has learned from experience to process customer orders in the manner that best meets each client's needs. With the MDS suite the sales funnel creates a unified pipeline for these orders. Orders can be: 


 


Called in or emailed directly to customer service representatives. 


 


Faxed on a custom order form based upon customer preferences or generated from sales history.


 


Entered via the Remotenet Web interface to MDS, which provides 24 hour on-line access to order placement as well as complete customer history.


 


Neil Medical's specialized ordering system developed in-house that seamlessly interfaces with their MDS system.


 


The MDS system offers interfaces to many third party ordering systems.


 


Lastly, MDS supports all major EDI transactions including purchase orders, invoices, and sales tracings.   

 




Our Experience

 


"We could no longer continue with MAS and grow as a Medical Distributor in the way we wanted to. As the number of work arounds increased we found that our growth was impeded."


 


Our search for a new system started in 2009 and included many of the major ERP systems available. John Lee, Operations Manager, said:


 


"We selected the MDS system from The Systems House because of TSH's focus in the Medical Supply Distribution Industry.  MDS incorporates all the tools that we needed to grow our business: Contract and rebate management, Pharma capability including Drug Pedigrees, and Ecommerce. We were also attracted to the hosted solution option.  These capabilities separated The Systems House from others we looked at."

Punchout - Moving EDI into Real Time

Image
Everyone talks about the benefits of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and how it makes it so much easier to send data between different systems. We can debate the merits and costs and see what makes sense, But often many people overlook a major issue with the current EDI model.   Because it was based on an offline model all of EDI is based on files and responses. So the concept is you send me a file I send you a message saying I got your file and then I respond with any issues and or status updates. In todays real time world, that just doesn't always work. And while EDI is here to stay at least for a while, Today we wanted to introduce to you another alternative that offers similar functionality with a number of added benefits. The biggest being it allows for real time interactivity. Punchout Catalogs - Why is Mike Tyson Involved in Purchasing?  Punchout catalogs are websites that are maintained by a procurement vendor, In this model that would be you. These websites ar...

Do you know what your Inventory (D)ogs are?

TSH Releases Inventory Management Enhancements  The ultimate goal for all distributors is to:    Minimize Inventory Carrying Costs While Maximizing Service Levels.  The well-known ABC classification is simple-to-understand and easy-to-use. However, ABC analysis is based on only single measurement such as annual dollar usage. It has been recognized that other criteria are also important.  The MDS system now offer multiple methods for finding those "D" or dog items - If they dont make it to the A,B,C levels in your inventory ranking convention wisdom says.... They are your dogs items and should be removed from inventory as they are not making you any money..  MDS offer options for:  Ranking by a Percentage or an actual number I.E Top 100 or Top 10% - whichever makes more sense for your business.  Each Criteria is then weighted and used to help you determine your items..  Criteria offered now include:  n Unit volume n Sales volume n Gr...

Disrupting the Sales Cycle

Image
There is a lot of talk of disruption today, taking old business concepts and shaking up the status quo , by changing the model and re-inventing it. If you are not familiar with the whole disruption movement you check out The Forbes Top 5 technology disruptions from CES .   But there is a school of thought that is showing that disruption is not always the the best way forward, and the current process isn't in need of disruption. Perhaps all we need is just the judicious application of some existing technology and some good old fashioned elbow grease. Here are some reasons I don't think the Business to Business Sales cycle is in need a of disruption. The message is simple, B2B sales is, was and should be about bringing value to your client. I don’t believe that most buyers have a linear process . Just like your sales process isn’t linear, and just like you might go over the same ground a few times, your buyer’s process isn’t a straight line from point A to point B, even if we som...
