Strategic Business to Business Development & Implementation
The importance of sound Business to business
Strategic planning cannot be overstated. Wrong decisions,
or decisions based on inappropriate policies, guidelines and
planning structures or incorrect data, can have a serious,
long term impact on a company's services levels it is able
to provide to its customers. At the same time poor strategic
planning can have a significant effect on the company's bottom
line and a company can incur sever cost penalties as a result.
We have many years of experience in assisting
companies to determine the most appropriate strategic planning
framework for their business-to-business requirements. The
experience gained in numerous Business-to-Business assignments,
together with an up to date knowledge of best practice in
Australia and overseas, ensures we can offer our clients the
options most suitable for the company's business environment.
Our approach is based on working closely with
our clients to firstly explain the principles of sound planning
and get an understanding and acceptance of these principles.
We then assist our clients in applying these principles and
help them develop and implement a sound strategic planning
process for their business-to-business development and implementation.

Supply Chain Management Program Development & Implementation
A Supply Chain Management Program must be designed
and implemented to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency and
market responsiveness of the whole supply chain, achieve major
cost reductions in the cost of supply to the end customer
whilst obtaining high levels of customer service and to unite
the management of all firms in the supply chain to work together
in a spirit of partnership to achieve a "Win, Win"
position for all parties. The program initially involves the
formation of supply chain cluster to pilot the development
and prove the agreed methodology including the testing of
the enabling technologies, under the guidance of an experienced
Facilitator.
The critical importance of the key areas of
retail and supply as an input to assist in the formulation
the detailed approach, infrastructure development and implementation,
cannot be under estimated. The composition of any supply chain
management Pilot program must consist of the major players
in the supply line to ensure the program achieves its objectives.
In the last ten years we have been commissioned
as supply chain management Facilitators in a number of industry
sectors, the primary one being the TCF (Textile, Clothing
& Footwear) industry.
With our experience, we are able to provide
practical advice in forming electronic trading relationships
between retailers, manufacturers and suppliers improving profitability
for all parties through sales growth, reductions in inventory
and working capital, and reductions in the supply costs.

Business-to-Business Technology Development, Supply
& Implementation.
There are numerous examples today where an Enterprise
has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and many years
in pursuit of the desired business information technology
outcome. A significant number of companies have failed and
started again. Others have not achieved anywhere near their
initial requirements. In some cases the costs have been greater
than the benefits. We recognise a company's concern in this
area and provide a proven methodology to ensure that the appropriate
evaluation and review points are in place to enable an objective
assessment of costs, benefits and progress at designated stages
in a project.
IPT has been developing, supplying and implementing
Electronic Trading software for over the past ten years. This
is particularly so in the TCF industry, where business systems
are a major issue.
The flow of accurate and timely information
within a supply chain is critical. In our experience each
segment in the supply chain has similar information technology
issues and the ability to transfer critical information between
the retailer, manufacturers and suppliers is a major issue
in developing an effective supply chain and reducing significantly
the cost of supply to the end customer.
We offer an Enterprise a sound background in
the evaluation, development, supply and implementation of
a business-to-business solution. Our Knowledge has been acquired
as project managers with hands on experience implementing
business-to-business systems in a number of companies in a
number of industries.

Enterprise Best Practice in warehousing & Distribution.
Many things are required to operate a successful
warehousing and distribution operation. Among these, the proficiency
in using advanced warehousing & distribution Methodologies,
effective inventory planing, distribution and Management,
efficient use of resources, capital equipment and the appropriate
enabling technology to achieve the superior distribution services
levels.
Enterprise best practice in warehousing &
Distribution is a combination of all these elements; however
focusing on any one component in isolation, will at best give
you a marginal improvement and may even lead to a reduction
in capability.
We provide a company with the consulting support
to achieve best practice within their warehousing and distribution
areas using a proven approach to achieve an overall improvement
by identifying the components that are restricting the effectiveness
of these areas.
