  • November 11, 2024

Articles

Upya is transforming field operations in the Global South by integrating essential features from CRM, ERP, and LMS tools into a unified digital platform.

Upya’s platform meets these needs by enhancing field operations in the Global South. With ERP, CRM, and LMS integration powered by workflow automation, Upya offers improved coordination and efficiency.

What customers need in ERP, CRM and LMS.

ERP

To support profitable growth, companies require ERP systems integrating manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and financial operations. Here’s how Upya’s ERP tools meet these needs:

Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP)

With Upya’s MRP system clients can prepare manufacturing processes  before field distribution, issue purchase orders and track unit costs  for comprehensive economic oversight.

Supply Chain & Logistics

This module oversees sourcing, warehousing, inventory, and distribution, meeting demand while keeping optimal stock levels. Upya’s inventory solution tracks stock from warehouses to end users and controls team access by role.

Financial Planning

Integrates cost centers, product costs (COGS), and sales, aligning Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) with Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) to drive profitability. Upya´s analytics feature provides interactive dashboards with insights into sales, financials, risk, and asset management. Customers can download data, preview insights, or connect via API to tools like Power BI, Xero, and QuickBooks.

CRM

LMS

For LMS, companies need flexible loan management tools to monitor repayments:
