Expertise

  • Supply Chain Management (SCM).  An efficient supply chain, enabled by technology, provides companies with tools to reduce transaction costs, enhance customer service, and seamlessly integrate  sourcing, production scheduling, order processing, inventory management, transportation, warehousing and customer service.  L5 Source has extensive experience with supply chains and implementing world class solutions.

  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM).  Acquiring, retaining, and servicing customers is an  imperative in the global economy.  A sound CRM strategy integrates customer segmentation, alignment of the company’s internal processes with their customer strategy, and sound technology solutions.  L5 Source is positioned to help companies select the most appropriate technologies to enable their CRM strategies.
  • e-Business.  The globalization of product & service delivery has more tightly integrated companies’ value chains with their customers’, suppliers’ and employees’ own value chains.  Our B2B, B2C, and B2E expertise can be applied to the development of end-to-end e-business solutions or to specific functionality within a company’s value chain.
  • Data Management.  Data should be managed like any other company asset, with emphasis on obtaining the maximum return through appropriate lifecycle management disciplines.  It is not one solution or software package. Rather, it is a framework used to drive for enterprise-level business intelligence and business strategies.  Components include source data, extract transform & load, warehouse, business intelligence and business strategies.  L5 Source integrates these components to provide data management solutions with high ROI.
  • Finance.  The increase in compliance requirements, the management of risk, and the trend toward real time decision making have created new challenges and opportunities to apply innovative and timely analytical solutions through the use of advanced Business Intelligence and Data Management disciplines.
  • Human Resources.  The acquisition of talent is now driving companies to attract and retain the best talent on a global level and to quickly deploy human resources to the most attractive business opportunities.  L5 Source can help companies develop appropriate strategies to determine which functions may benefit from outsourcing and which are strategic in nature. 

Package Selection & Implementation

  • Package selection & implementation – Our consultants have developed package selection expertise in major functional areas (e.g. ERP, CRM, Finance, HR), vertical industries (e.g. consumer packaged goods, customer care, retail, grocery, banking, insurance, academia), and major technology platforms.  Our process is very comprehensive as depicted in the diagram below.
