The System

InTech is an Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) based system, integrated with Business Intelligence (BI) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to increase performance. “Basically, ERP is large complex information systems that integrate and stream line the organization’s business process across departmental and geographical borders” (Nafeeseh & Al-Mudimigh, 2011). InTech can help to cut costs, as well as promote growth and increase overall customer service and experience. It does this by helping to streamline and automate work and data flow, as well as transaction processing.
"The system of ERP and BI integrated can enhance and improve the ability of companies to decision-making by leveraging the ability to manage data from the ERP system and the analytical capabilities of the BI system. This integration leads to optimal use of both ERP and BI systems"(Nofal & Yusof, 2013).One of the major requests of businesses today is for a system that would allow efficient utilization of collected information from local to corporate, especially on ‘ordering and distribution’ and ‘trends and sales’. BI accomplishes this objective, and with its integration into InTech, allows even greater processing capabilities.
Set Up

A two tier set up allows even further efficiency as it allows resident management the tools they need to make decisions in the local area, much in the way that corporate management does in the business setting. It sets up two independent yet fully integrated systems, giving plant and warehouse managers the same tools afforded to corporate management, yet more focused to their specific processes. A secondary benefit of this design, is that in addition to the raw data, upper management has the already refined data from
