Vivo uses Ares ERP to control inventory management and enhance logistics efficiency

TAIPEI, Taiwan - Oct. 31, 2018 - PRLog -- Vivo set up its Taiwan branch in April 2017 and to make its operation process ready in a short time, chose ArgoERP after careful evaluation because ArgoERP offers a comprehensive e-invoice solution with a friendly interface. "Thanks to the implementation with the effort of Ares ERP sales representatives and consultants, the system was launched within only three months. Besides, a comprehensive ERP training was provided to make our related staff familiar with its operation, which did not affect our current process", put with smile Yu-Ping Mo, e-finance manager of Vivo.

Simplify inventory management and control store stocks at any time

How does Vivo control its inventory when each time more than one hundred smartphones are shipped to stores? "We decided to timely control store stocks through Stock In/Out and inventory information recorded by inventory management system, which not only simplifies operation processes but helps manager build appropriate purchase or stock strategies", manager Mo shared the result after discussing with Ares ERP consultants.

Delivery order automatically exported and linked to logistics by ERP to enhance delivery efficiency and decrease human errors.

Si-Mi Tseng, ArgoERP consultant, helped complete this implementation, said, "Without ArgoERP implementation, delivery information always has to be manually provided for logistics vendors. When shipment volume is large, this may cause human errors and late deliveries." Therefore, Vivo not only controls incoming/outgoing shipments of smartphones through inventory management but with integration features of ArgoERP and logistics to shorten the time for pre-shipment to enhance delivery efficiency.

ArgoERP can automatically export delivery orders in Excel sheets to logistics vendors when warehouse confirms delivery information, simplifying complicated delivery processes. Besides lowering staff workloads and human error rates, ArgoERP satisfies the need of timeliness from various stores to help Vivo provide its high-quality products for consumers with its stable service.

Built-in financial reports for the Group to easily control store operation performance

Manager Mo mentioned that Vivo's Taiwan branch needs to do monthly financial reporting to the headquarter, and with the help of ArgoERP financial management module of collecting all transaction information and providing various financial reports to fit different accounts, we not only save financial staff time in monthly statement but have the headquarter timely manage overall operational performance. "The system can automatically convert financial reports based on monthly statement to Excel or PDF, and also provide timely integrated and analytical reports, such as financial ratio analysis tables, to help the enterprise grasp the most correct outlook of cash flows", added consultant Tseng.
