ConnectSMF is an enterprise software solution designed to execute and synchronize material flow (SMF). The system manages complex business-to-business (B2B) supply-chain environments to immediately reorder inventory and/or the internal delivery of material from warehouse to line-side operations. ConnectSMF structures the material replenishment process and expedites material request processing and reduces labor effort. The system replaces traditional kanban systems (ekanban).
