The Company Description of Its Time
LogOn Business Systems is this letter's technology filing: LogOn specialises in providing comprehensive ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning - software solutions to customers within the apparel, footwear and accessories industries who require a robust color, size, dimension matrix. That last phrase is the whole specialisation. A generic business system counts units; an apparel system must count one style in twelve colours and twenty sizes as a single product with a grid of variants, and the filing builds its entire product description around handling that grid. With LogOn's ERP solutions, the core system handles all a company's operation needs, including the complete sales cycle, production cycle, inventory management and financial accounting data, fully integrated into a complete package, for small business and enterprise clientele alike, with upgrade paths the company calls hassle-free and cost-effective.
The Four Systems Inside the Core
The functions are organised as four working systems. The Wholesale Sales Cycle system handles transactions related to the sales portion of the business: sales order processing, customer invoice and credit processing, product lifecycle management for color, size and dimension, credit control and factor link-up, allocation and pick ticket generation, and a CRM customer relationship management system. The Production Control system handles the production portion of the wholesale business, including both importing finished products and manufacturing or assembling them, across planning, import purchasing, manufacturing production and costing - the importer and the factory run in the same ledger, which is precisely the hybrid most apparel wholesalers actually are.
The inventory section handles product and raw material inventory management: inventory management control, inventory audit, and a shipping label and barcode system. The financial section handles general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable and bank control and reconciliation, under a management console. Around the core sits the extended functionality list, kept in full because it dates the system so precisely: B2B web-based interfaces through vendor, buyer, retailer and sales force portals, a WAP wireless access portal, WMS RF wireless warehouse management, B2C consumer sales systems, retail POS and online shopping cart systems, and document processing with user-defined real-time reporting, integrated EDI, multi-currency conversion, Office Connect and automated credit card processing. Support is filed as an award-winning service with email, phone and online support during business hours, remote troubleshooting and maintenance, on-site emergency services, and customised user training programs tailored to a customer's mission-critical areas.
