By specializing in five specific industries, we have developed extraordinarily deep industry knowledge. Combine that with our technology and application expertise, and it is easy to see how ICCG is uniquely qualified to accelerate the results you need.
Manufacturing
No matter what type of good or product your organization produces, manufacturing has changed dramatically in the last ten years, and will continue to do so in the years ahead.To make sure you have raw materials when you need them, you must communicate with, invoice, and purchase from suppliers in real-time. If you're using just-in-time production methods, your manufacturing process has to be as efficient as possible to make sure goods are rolling off the production line to meet demand, not piling up in a warehouse or coming off so slowly that you're losing customers.Everything is happening more quickly. We're working at the speed of the Internet, and invoices, purchases, and information must be created, sent, and collected fast enough for you to make the right forecasting decisions.You need technology to manage your manufacturing processes, people, suppliers, and information. But more than that – you need the right technology. You also need to work with a company with the experience and expertise in manufacturing, with employees who come from the manufacturing field.
Food & Beverage
ICCG helps food and beverage companies optimize their business processes. We understand the unique requirements and best practices of the food and beverage industry. However, we also recognize each customer has special business challenges. We balance an industry-focused best practices approach with a customer-tailored philosophy. In a fast-paced environment, information accuracy and flow are key requirements. To address these criteria, all ICCG solutions focus on efficient processes and useful management data. ERP is at the core of most food and beverage company infrastructures.
Fashion
The textile and apparel manufacturing industries are rapidly modernizing, as new investments in automation and information technology have been made necessary by growing international competition. Firms also have responded to competition by developing new products and services. For example, some manufacturers are producing textiles developed from fibers made from recycled materials. These innovations have had a wide effect across the industry. Advanced machinery is boosting productivity levels in textiles, costing some workers their jobs while fundamentally changing the nature of work for others. New technology also has led to increasingly technical training for workers throughout the industry. Computers and computer-controlled equipment aid in many functions, such as design, patternmaking, and cutting. Wider looms, more computerized equipment, and the increasing use of robotics to move material within the plant are other technologies recently designed to make the production plant more efficient. Despite these changes, however, the apparel industry—especially its sewing function—has remained significantly less automated than many other manufacturing industries.
Distribution
Whether you're a manufacturer, importer, exporter, or any kind of organization that needs to deliver goods, distribution is key to competitiveness, profitability, and customer satisfaction. Customer service has become so important in today's economy that it can make or break a company. ICCG Distribution solutions give you the answer.
