But FastStart for High Tech goes one step further, because it is specifically configured to provide the capabilities distributors of high tech products require.

Product Variation

Managing product variants is often a key requirement of the high tech market. SAP FastStart for High Tech provides the capability to support variant configuration with assembly processing and/or manufacturing, sales BOM's with support for stock, non-stock and service materials.

Component Stocks

The control of component stocks is critical in a market where component stocks have a short lifecycle and prices are constantly dropping. FastStart for High Tech allows you to closely review and monitor inventory levels, manage component replacement and substitutions with FIFO sequencing and to control supply through supplier performance monitoring and supplier returns.

Service

Exploit the profitability potential of your service organisation. SAP FastStart for High Tech supports a multi-channel service organisation with service operations management, resource planning and optimisation. SAP FastStart manages service engineers, materials with serial numbers and warranty, and spare parts inventories for van stocks and repairs.

Sales & Marketing

Enhance your sales and marketing opportunities. SAP FastStart for High Tech includes the capability to manage direct mail campaigns. FastStart supports prospects and customers in a common database, has the ability to generate and manipulate address lists with user-defined selection criteria and can create mailing lists for printing, e-mailing or calling.

Financial/Management Reporting

Reporting on and analysing data and information is critical. SAP FastStart for High Tech provides comprehensive tools for profitability and sales reporting, standard trade reporting for VAT, Intrastat and EC Sales List, operational reports for financial statements and cash flow. Tools for user defined queries, on-line analysis and export to Excel provide a flexible and easy-to-use reporting capability.

Creating Business Software Solutions With The Hi Tech Sector

For companies working with high tech products, capabilities such as service management, component cost control and product configuration can be particularly important. So, when it comes to choosing a SAP business intelligence solution, it follows that a one-size-fits-all system just won't do, even if it is for the Wholesale and Distribution industry. Such systems simply will not deliver the specific functionality and detailed insight that high tech product distributors need.

Chelford SAP FastStart for High Tech Distribution can and will deliver that functionality and insight, what’s more with an ease of deliver and installation that will leave you happy on all fronts.
