For many companies in the bulk goods industry continual optimisation of their supply chains is one of the most important challenges for the future. In the past, non-existent, inconsistent and complicated IT systems were an obstacle to efficient Supply Chain Management (SCM). The rapidly advancing development and specialisation of IT systems, such as VASŪ-iDISPO from FRITZ & MACZIOL, today form a solid foundation for the application of modern planning concepts and the integration of all SCM processes. VASŪ-iDISPO was developed as an Internet-based application for communication and information for all participating partners. The system enables works to follow the entire process – from the customer through transporter to the final recipient. It manages the transport data (product data, quantity details, departure time, expected arrival time) of HGVs and trains and customer data in real time (order volumes, delivery and billing addresses, delivery times etc.). As a leading despatch automation system VASŪ also allows creation of reports to view despatch and loading details or statistical applications. Data entry is interactive via the Internet. Operational systems – such as ERP systems, process visualisations and SPS controls – can be integrated with VASŪ using automated interfaces. At Lafarge Perlmooser GmbH, one of the leading cement companies in Austria, the department of Industrial Applications and Services at FRITZ & MACZIOL has already realised one company-wide SCM solution successfully with VASŪ -iDISPO.

Customer Benefits

Use of VASŪ-iDISPO reduces costs and running times and, thanks to the total-cost philosophy, there are win-win situations for the whole supply chain. At the same time, transparency of material, financial and information flows is increased, constant checks on processes are made easier and benchmarking to identify best practices is improved.
