The product has an impressive depth and breadth of distribution and order management functionality. Particularly powerful is its advanced pricing functionality that allows companies to create a complex customized pricing formula based on a multiplicity of categories, such as customer, region, territory, etc. It is also a workflow/event-based solution that enables enterprises to model business planning issues through, e.g., a network of tasks, resources, and inventory buffers on which strategies can be applied to optimize interrelationships.
Workflow management covers all financial and distribution processes and, more recently discrete and process manufacturing. In other words, when information comes in from ancillary sources, such as electronic data interchange (EDI), the Internet, or sales force automation (SFA) systems, it can be imported into a system and can trigger exception events, that can be defined based on a user's information needs. The vendor plans to continue to improve and broaden the algorithms to address more industry-specific problems. Another attractive feature that the product offers is its native reporting and business intelligence (BI) capability, as it has built-in support for data marts for financial and logistics analysis by executive information system (EIS) systems. As will be explained later, the typical optional add-on modules are WMS options, shipping system options (custom or packaged solutions), product configuration, and finite capacity planning (with or without optimization).
Consequently, Adonix X3 comes configured in three slightly different offerings in North America. First, Adonix X3 Distribution provides an integrated set of application modules devised to help streamline business operations of wholesalers and distributors. The following modules can be installed completely to form either a full enterprise solution, or in modular fashion: CRM, sales management, inventory management, purchasing management, advanced warehousing and data collection (or Adonix Geode GX for more complex warehouse practices), financial management, demand forecasting, edi, shipping and manifesting, and Adonix Xtend (for integrating Adonix X3 to Web storefronts). With this suite of applications, distributors should be able to take advantage of features such as
* advanced order fulfillment for meeting critical customer delivery dates,
* comprehensive pricing and promotion capabilities,
* product configuration for locating and defining products according to customer definition,
* after-sales service with warranty tracking, service scheduling, and a knowledge base of product problems and resolutions,
* near real time BI for critical management reporting, including exception handling and performance measurements; and
* workflow management for ease in communicating exceptional events and transactions both inside and outside the enterprise.
On its hand, the Adonix X3 Discrete Suite is an enterprise-wide set of application modules that addresses the needs of mid-sized discrete manufacturers in a variety of manufacturing modes including make-to-order (MTO), configure-to-order (CTO), assemble-to-order (ATO), make-to-stock (MTS), and mixed-mode environments. The Adonix X3 Discrete Manufacturing module supports the planning, scheduling, and production control activities of a manufacturer within these different manufacturing modes, and it is fully integrated with the distribution, CRM, and accounting components.
Last but not least, Adonix X3 Process is a broad enterprise system that is specifically designed to support the dynamics of process manufacturing. Manufacturers try to achieve greater product and process consistency, while improving the ability to satisfy vacillating customer demand. To that end, Adonix X3 Process' advanced planning and control capabilities use near real time and historical information to help manage inventory levels and costs, optimize product mix, reduce waste, and shorten product development cycles. It combines the features of the company's flagship product, Adonix X3—a Web-native ERP suite that integrates manufacturing, distribution, WMS, CRM and finance functionality—with application features that address the unique and specialized needs of the process manufacturer, including formula management, lot traceability, shelf-life management, quality controll, and regulatory compliance. The suite supports the specific needs of most formula-based process manufacturers including those in areas as diverse as dairies, bakeries, paints, lubricants, and cosmetics (for more germane information, see Process Manufacturing Software: A Primer ).
