Marketing sourcing, procurement & operations
can start before or after the definition of a SKU
ERP & Integrations
Marketing sourcing and procurement teams often operate alongside other business activities within corporate or services organizations. This can lead to marketing sourcing having to work within the boundaries of the governance and operations of the company ERP solution and that can be challenging.
Mtivity can operate standalone as your complete marketing sourcing, operations and procurement platform or co exist in with your other ERP, warehouse management and pieces of your technology stack.
Depending on the ERP solution and the other technologies in your operation, Mtivity can be configured and integrated into your workflow to allow complex marketing sourcing activity to be performed in Mtivity whilst maintaining compliance with your internal and ERP requirements.
One of the challenges of trying to utilise an off the shelf ERP to support marketing sourcing and procurement activity is that ERP’s are often predicated on the existence of a defined SKU or product, the concept of many iterations of design and specification often required within the marketing lifecycle is quite alien to these ERP solutions, that is where Mtivity works in tandem with the ERP.
Mtivity is designed to operate both pre and post SKU definition within the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) world.
When deployed alongside an ERP solution,
Mtivity typically supports the following
- Online Jobs bags
- Detailed configurable specification templates
- Complex Marketing Sourcing and sourcing rounds
- Calculation of savings and other commercial activity
- Production vendor capability and grouping
- BPO/Services contract flexibility (being able to operate under different commercial terms for different clients)
- Management of complex contracts and the buying and selling from and on behalf of multiple entities.
- Manages all aspects of the activity related to physical production in addition to time based services e.g creative time
- Artwork iterations, collaborative artwork commenting and sign off
