Distribution
Distribution companies are likely to experience massive time savings with the latest features in Version 12 including:

• License Plate Numbers – Easily track containers and logistics units (e.g. pallets, drums, boxes) across the entire distribution process and gain accurate insight into each product’s lifecycle across the warehouse for hassle-free compliance.
• Improved Distribution Flexibility – Distributors benefit from a wide range of enhancements and improvements in this version, affecting everything from sales, invoicing, and purchasing, to EDI and better costing functionality.

Manufacturing
New, “must-have” functionality in Sage X3 meets compliance requirements in the quality process and adds important scheduling updates.

• Non-Conformance Functionality – A “non-conformance” means that something went wrong in a service, product, or process, from a customer, a supplier, or in the system itself. The non-conformance can be identified through a range of sources, but once the problem is identified, it must be addressed through corrective or preventative actions. Sage X3 now makes it easy to quickly create the non-conformance, as well as define, monitor, and review corrective actions.
• Waiting Time Scheduling – Flexibly schedule both waiting and active time on a 24-hour time-frame, so you can account for events like machine cooling or other downtime.

Project Management
Gain better visibility into your projects with clear project snapshots that help you easily identify project trends and performance. Other improvements include:

• PM Automation Tools – Simplify and speed up stock allocations and project management budgeting with built-in automation.
• Labor Time Tracking – Mandate time entry and get at-a-glance insight into your user capacity utilization with color-coded entries. Red indicates under-utilization, orange indicates over-utilization, and green assures you of on-target utilization.
