By administering organizations in different locations and countries as a single unit, Lawson simplifies planning, logistics and accounting for intercompany transactions originating within your group of companies.

Manage parts logistics more efficiently

With Lawson, you can optimize your entire organization’s parts logistics management process.

Optimize use of warehouse space for optimal stock levels and maximum customer service

Respond to volatile energy and raw material costs

Lawson offers an integrated system that manages material planning down to the lowest level. Manufacturing and purchasing catalysts, as well as distribution from another warehouse, are received from material planning. The material planning in the Lawson solution can work continuously. This means that as soon as something happens with an item – such as a rise in material costs or a change of available materials - it and any related items are automatically recalculated. Thus, you always have the current planning status.

Shorten supply lead times

A lack of visibility between supply chain nodes can lead to longer supply lead-times, high inventory and additional costs. Worse still, sub-optimization at each supply chain node will restrict your overall business performance.
