QAD ADAPTIVE ERP
What does DESSS deliver for QAD Supply Chain Planning?
DESSS delivers QAD Supply Chain Planning on QAD Adaptive ERP through the qad supply chain planning rollout: item master and location model; replenishment and procure-to-pay design; configuration and picking strategies; barcode and device pilot; cutover stock count; go-live and accuracy tracking. Each step closes with named deliverables you sign off before the next begins.
THE WORKFLOW

- Replenishment and procure-to-pay design — Decide the flows
- Configuration and picking strategies — Build the warehouse
- Barcode and device pilot — Test on the floor
- Cutover stock count — Start from truth
- Go-live and accuracy tracking — Hold the gains

Advice, delivery, or managed service

Implementation Services
Full delivery to an agreed blueprint, with weekly demos and named deliverables at every step.
Integration & Migration
Connecting and modernizing the systems the work depends on, with validated data and monitored interfaces.
Managed Support Services
Monitoring, incident handling, enhancements, and release management from the team that built it.
A typical DESSS QAD Supply Chain Planning delivery runs 6 steps, with the final step reached around weeks 12–16. Complex integrations, multi-entity scope, or regulated environments extend that — the discovery session produces a dated plan for your case rather than an average.
Every step closes with named deliverables — Accuracy dashboard, Approval matrix, Configured warehouse, Count results, Cycle count programme, Data governance rules, Device configuration, Document formats — so progress is visible, auditable, and reviewable rather than a status colour on a slide.
Yes. Integration with the systems your planning depends on is designed early and delivered with validation, monitoring, and error handling, so failures are visible and recoverable.
No. QAD Supply Chain Planning is often delivered alongside the other QAD Adaptive ERP products listed below, in a phased roadmap that avoids rebuilding earlier phases. DESSS sequences them so each phase stands on its own.
The consultants who implemented it. Managed support covers monitoring, incidents, enhancements, and release management under severity-based service levels.
