Industry & Commerce 

Your market is characterised by big challenges in the areas of cost efficiency, margin pressure and turnover increase. This is accompanied by frequent reorganisations and takeovers. In addition, you experience, among other things, an area of tension between outsourcing of production/knowledge environments abroad on the one hand and ageing on the other hand. To cope with these developments, ICT has to be deployed more as a strategic resource. In doing this, you are looking for a balance between construction and reconstruction with a minimum impact on your operational processes. Inter Access has been operating successfully in this dynamic market for more than 25 years.

Fields of activity

Inter Access has knowledge and experience in the following branches:

  • Industry: the process industry (chemistry), the construction & engineering industry (construction and engineering firms).
  • Commerce: the retail industry (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) and the wholesale industry (technical wholesale business, consumer products).
Challenges

In all these branches, the margins are under huge pressure as a result of the rise of low-wage countries, among other reasons. You may be considering outsourcing (part of) your production as well. How will you handle branch integration and how will you gear your processes to one another as efficiently as possible? Think of a real-time overview of the logistic channel to determine whether extra goods or other goods need to be ordered. Other important issues are increasing production and streamlining the information supply. In addition, ageing can lead to a 'knowledge gap' which you need to bridge in time.

Solutions

Inter Access' solutions are of course centred round our services portfolio. Think of ERP solutions with SAP and Oracle, infrastructure solutions built around IBM and Microsoft, hosting and complete outsourcing. A possible answer to the challenges mentioned is setting up a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), with which we have gained the necessary experience. Another possibility is to improve collaboration in your organisation using the High-Performance Workplace concept. In addition, we take the first steps towards RFID solutions which are becoming increasingly advantageous due to falling prices and which offer opportunities for linking with ERP systems.
