ERP Systems for Supply Chain and Logistics Training Course

Course Overview
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems play a central role in integrating and automating supply chain and logistics functions across organizations. This course is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and practical skills to effectively utilize ERP systems in managing procurement, inventory, warehousing, transportation, and distribution activities.
Participants will gain a deep understanding of how ERP systems streamline workflows, enhance data visibility, support decision-making, and improve operational efficiency. The course explores key ERP modules related to supply chain management—including procurement, inventory, sales and distribution, production planning, and logistics execution.
Through real-time demonstrations and guided exercises using leading ERP platforms (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo), participants will learn how to manage transactions, track materials, optimize logistics, and generate performance reports. The course also covers ERP implementation strategies, system customization, user access controls, and integration with external tools such as WMS, TMS, and BI dashboards.
Designed for both technical and non-technical professionals, this training bridges the gap between business processes and digital systems, enabling participants to align ERP capabilities with supply chain goals.
