• Are there red flags in the accounts receivable?
• Which vendors give the best sales margins on similar products?
• How can accounts payable be maximized, in order to take advantage of rebates and discounts?
• Are there any potential problems with the chain of delivery? Unacknowledged orders? Multiple slipped delivery dates?
• What are the optimal inventory levels based on actual client usage and vendor performance? Are replenishment min/max points set properly?
• Which elements of the inventory are underperforming? Overstocked? Obsolete?
• How can one manage replenishment to stabilize cash flow with the lowest impact on the customers?

These questions and many more cannot be answered by typical stock ERP systems, but PeoplePlus has cost effectively delivered this kind of information in automated reports and/or executive dashboards to help our clients get the most out of their valuable ERP information.

IT Infrastructure Consulting- At PeoplePlus, the solutions are developed primarily with a hosted Cloud / SaaS (Software as a Service) delivery in mind; however, they are flexible in approach as the company fully supports the licensing and delivery of iM3 Cloud to an on premises system. The PeoplePlus team of professionals can assess existing IT infrastructure and make recommendations for a successful iM3 Cloud implementation. Its senior project managers have decades of hands on experience implementing systems for Fortune 500 companies, Universities, Municipalities, OEM Automotive, and their partners and can assist virtually any business in taking control of IT costs, addressing strategic business concerns and integrating IT systems with key customers and business partners.

Process Study- Well-established business processes are critical to the success of any major software implementation. From point of sale to shipped final product, the efficiency of the business processes drive the final success of the project. The PeoplePlus team draws from decades of specialized experience in implementing practical SCM (Supply Chain Management) solutions and knows the challenges and how to avoid expensive pitfalls in implementation. Using a time tested methodology consisting of carefully facilitated meetings and/or workshops to develop a clear vision relating to function, economy, and timing of the project, its trained facilitators keep this effort short and succinct in order to focus the joint project team to the task at hand.

Systems Integration- Receiving and submitting purchasing and other financial documents electronically can be a key consideration when securing contracts with major clients. For instance, OEM’s and Tier One Suppliers often have sophisticated purchasing requirements that are beyond the reach of many growing businesses. Further, many companies want the ability to share data with other software products such as an ERP system, financial package, scheduling system, or statistical analysis tool. The PeoplePlus team has experience in integrating solutions with any major ERP package and can help create solution to meet needs based on customer requirements.

Software Development- PeoplePlus has a full team of software developers that can address virtually any custom programming need their clients may encounter. Whether the program needs to reside on a big mainframe system or run on the cell phone, PeoplePlus has the experience to cost effectively deliver a quality product.
