As these companies change their sales systems to keep up with rapid growth and changing market conditions, current home grown ERP systems become inadequate for managing the business. <br /><br />I have spoken with companies which have over 30 sales offices (one for each of China&rsquo;s 30 provinces) and over 50 factories. Such companies need to come up with strategies for increasing their sales reach while at the same time not duplicating logistics efforts and warehouses. They need systems which integrate WMS/TMS/Order Management, etc. <br /><br />One supply chain software provider using the ASP Platform is i1.com. The company boasts a number of multinational clients and may be the solution that many global supply chain managers with responsibility for China are looking for. Take a look at their website and some others below below to learn more about the options available in the China supply chain systems market. <br /><br />However, it is important for foreign companies that are seeking the right supply chain systems in China to do a complete investigation of the options available.
