SCA Planner(TM) is a cloud-driven logistics solution aimed at minimizing expenses while enhancing supply chains and fostering strong connections with distributors. Users of SCA Logistics Solutions can effectively streamline overall logistics expenditures by leveraging authentic distribution center (DC) cost factors. The platform facilitates the creation of distribution network designs based on genuine DC cost frameworks and activity-based costing methodologies. It enables the optimization of distribution processes to achieve objectives related to costs, product freshness, contingency planning, and service levels. Key elements such as lane assignments, choices regarding DC processes and technologies, delivery schedules, and shelf life management are thoroughly addressed. Additionally, it allows users to monitor distributor performance metrics, spot exceptions, and drive performance enhancements. By standardizing processes for DC budgeting, actual figures, and variance reporting, SCA Planner ensures uniform information is available across all distribution centers and partners. Furthermore, it helps in identifying areas for improvement through the provision of benchmark key performance indicators (KPIs), such as on-time delivery rates, warehouse efficiency, and off-load rates, alongside opportunity reports that compare different systems or similar distribution centers. By integrating these features, SCA Planner empowers businesses to refine their logistics strategies and achieve operational excellence.
