Automotive Industry Functionality Comes Standard

Managing the Automotive Supply ChainAny manufacturer in the automotive supply chain knows that meeting buyers fluctuating production schedules while maintaining profitability sometimes requires a challenging level of agility. Automotive OEMs regularly demand cost reductions. Add to that increasingly rigorous quality standards and pressure to improve on-time delivery performance and effi-ciency and accuracy become paramount for success.

Timely, proactive responsiveness is demanded. How-ever, multiple phone calls, faxes, and emails with sup-pliers can be difficult to manage, waste time, and lead to major delivery disruptions. You know how impor-tant it is that an automotive demand management system satisfy your buyers’ requirements, while at the same time, improve your own day-to-day operational performance.

EDI and So Much MoreRadley iCARaS™ comes with functions and capabili-ties that far exceed those of typical EDI translation products. EDI mapping, communications, and trans-lation with state-of-the-industry automotive demand management, release reporting and comprehensive shipping/labeling/scanning functionality fully inte-grated with SAP Business One combine to create an automotive eCommerce solution that will leave you wondering how you ever lived without it.

Out-of-the-box iCARaS meets the specific processing requirements of over 250 trading partners across the automotive, heavy truck, off-road equipment, appli-ance and other industries that have adopted automo-tive industry EDI practices. In addition to meeting the trading partners processing requirements, iCARaS comes with guaranteed trading partner compliance. iCARaS users know that Radley will provide future EDI changes without breaking their budgets.

Seamless Integration to Manage Demand Integrated demand processing is key to eliminating manual data entry errors and preventing production scheduling delays. iCARaS receives, translates, and maintains buyer demand.

Implementation options range from Traditional “behind-the-firewall” licensing, with remote access via the internet, to full-featured hosted access, to use-it-as-you-need-it On Demand iCARaS, where for a monthly fee Radley pro-fessionals maintain the software. And, Radley tech-nology supports cloud computing and architecture; so you also have the option to run iCARaS in your Cloud. Leveraging our extensive experience with mis-sion critical EDI, eCommerce and data collection busi-ness needs, we deliver real-time, synchronized, data to help you be more productive.

Superior Release Accounting & CUM Management iCARaS release processing takes all the guesswork out of managing and calculating your buyer’s net de-mand. Whether the customer demand is formatted as cumulative quantities, discrete quantities, Release Authorization Number (RAN), KANBAN, etc. iCARaS uses each trading partner’s unique “rules” to provide you with accurate, up-to-date shipping schedules. iCARaS’ agility allows you to refine demand calcula-tions based on in-transit times, standard pack quan-tities, customer dock dates, internal ship schedules, and a host of other trading partner Ship-To depen-dent criteria.

Experience the Power

Seamless Integration with SAP Business OneProcessing Demand – iCARaS handles the receipt and translation of eCommerce data and main-tains supplier demand according to the buyer’s standard business practices. The supplier defines specific processing requirements by individual buyer location and part. All valid demand is up-dated to existing production schedules, and can be exported to SAP Business One as sales order demand and as an MRP forecast.

Automotive Shipping – Use iCARaS to ship product, print labels and shipping documents, and send the ASN for each shipment. The shippers are imported into SAP Business One and used to process invoices in the front office, relieve on hand product inventory, and update the on hand of returnable containers. Automating these processes usually result in higher supplier ratings.

Invoicing and Remittance –SAP Business One creates invoices based on shipment information imported from iCARaS. When trading partners require EDI invoices, SAP Business One exports them to iCARaS for EDI transmission to the customer. iCARaS accepts and processes customer re-mittance documents and provides a user friendly report of the information, or alternatively exports the data to SAP Business One where it is applied as an incoming payment. The incoming payment will be applied on account or against specific customer invoices depending on the level of detail in the remittance.

Shipping Made EasyiCARaS Shipping streamlines automotive industry shipping functions including the generation of shippers/pack lists, bills of lading, pooled bills, and export papers/customs invoices. Integrated label printing saves time and eliminates errors when generating AIAG container labels.

Unmatched Scanning Features Equal Unparalleled Productivity Gains

FlexScan Shipment Scanning automates the validation of actual shipment items and quantities against the shipping documents. FlexScan also loads the serial numbers from AIAG compliant tables into the ASN, adding further accuracy and compliance to the picking and shipping process. FlexScan’s real-time Radio Frequency (RF) connection to iCARaS provides immediate feedback to shipping personnel whenever an error is detected, allowing shipments to be corrected and verified before the shipment departs. FlexScan transactions update the iCARaS shipping and label database to provide a three way match between the shipment, ASN, and associated labels.
