The system, completely web-based, allows you to stay on top of your supply chain.

Purchase Order Management

One of the biggest pain points arguably among importers in Australia is the lack of visibility into PO statuses which can wreak havoc on the supply chain. At BCR, we’ve seen that too often lack of proactive or preventive information from the origin impinges your ability to manage your orders, let alone fulfill them on time and to customer satisfaction. We understand supply chain efficiencies start with better PO management.

Landed Costings

Determining the price of your products sold in Australia, whether in consumer markets or B2B, presents challenges. You want to make good margins but you must price your products competitively. Determining the landed cost or true cost of a product is an essential exercise. Allow the experts at BCR to assist you in determining your true supply chain expenses. BCR landed cost analysis and solutions provide transparent visibility into:

Warehouse Management Systems

The BCR WMS manages and tracks all activities related to the warehouse, including inbound, stock-keeping and outbound. We offer complete visibility into the warehouse status of your cargo from stock on hand and committed stock to available stock. Allow the WMS to automate the flow of all materials (material handling) and information involving the movement of these goods across multiple sites in your supply chain.

Systems Integration and Customised Applications

The BCR IT and supply chain experts make it easy to configure systems to get the data sets you need to run your business — and grow. That’s why we have developed a customisable suite of mapping tools that allow for seamless data provisioning. Your requirements are all documented, data specification and business rules agreed upon, and automated tasks are then scheduled. Once established, there is no need for human intervention because automation takes care of sending your data in the agreed-upon format. Our services include a range of customisable data provisioning services as well as tailored applications and interfaces that meet your unique requirements and business rules.

Automated Scheduled Reporting

Supply chains don’t run themselves. To efficiently run your supply chain, you need accurate reporting of metrics and datasets such as exceptions, purchase order (PO) information and Customs-related transactions. With BCR automated data provisioning, you are armed with the information to better manage your supply chain. Benefit from our full electronic data integration with consistent and uninterrupted receipt of data, delivered in scheduled reports. BCR automated scheduled reporting is available for all facets of your supply chain.

R. Weatherdon & Co Pty Ltd

After going through a few shipping companies previously, I was constantly stuffed around with pricing and timing. Once I moved to BCR, problems seem to go away, consistent pricing and open communication have solved all my problems.

I really appreciate the efforts that your entire team goes for each shipment to ensure that the process is as smooth as possible. Especially since I am pretty much the only one who deals with supply chain / logistics, it is a load off knowing that your team is there to support me and I don’t have to keep following up - it just gets done.
