Lawson Launches Tools for Food & Beverage Manufacturers
Lawson Software announces the availability of Lawson M3 Analytics for Food & Beverage, a new application that aims to help food companies access meaningful business intelligence to improve decision-making without having to develop analytics tools in-house. Lawson made the announcement at the InterBev 2008 Conference and Exhibition this week in Las Vegas. The application includes 70 pre-configured key performance indicators (KPIs) and 50 pre-built scorecard reports commonly used by food companies. Sample KPIs include day sales outstanding, inventory turnover, delivery performance and gross margin percentage. Sample scorecards highlight critical data such as sales versus budget, supplier performance, production variances and customer debt.
At the same Conference, Lawson also announced the availability of Lawson Stock Build Optimizer and Lawson Planning Workbench for Food and Beverage. These new applications are expected to help food and beverage manufacturers improve long- and mid-range production planning to help them make sure the right amount of the right products are available at the right time to meet seasonal and promotional peaks in demand.
