Today's furniture manufacturers face a multitude of new business complexities. Product demands span a broad spectrum – from commoditized to highly customized products. Customer demands are ever-changing – while competition from low-cost markets is ever-growing. Creating brand differentiation is more dependent than ever on customer service and sales effectiveness. And market leadership and growth is more dependent than ever on understanding customer needs and providing the products and services to meet them. SAP can help you meet these challenges.

SAP for Mill Products is a comprehensive set of solutions that enable business processes across the entire mill products enterprise. It incorporates key capabilities designed to enable furniture manufacturers to control costs and optimize business processes ranging from supply chain planning and procurement to distribution and order management.

In a dynamic industry, supply chain and other key business performance initiatives are stalled by a fragmented and disparate IT landscape – loosely connected solutions, including legacy systems, manufacturing execution systems, and an assortment of custom applications. Not only does this mean high IT integration costs, but, more importantly, it means impaired visibility into the very processes furniture companies need to improve. Moreover, for both large and small companies, a fragmented IT landscape is a barrier to effective collaboration across different departments and business units.
