One Order, Three Ways to Fulfil It, One Margin
For businesses that trade, manufacture and install for the same customer: one order split into stock allocation, a work order and site execution, with one margin at the end.
What Gets in the Way
- Business ownerThree systems for one customer
Trading, factory and site teams each keep their own version of the order.
- Project managerSite waits on the factory
Installation is scheduled before anyone checks the work order.
- CFOMargin in three pieces
Each part looks fine alone; the whole order may not.
