High-Tech
The high-tech group is composed of four vertical industries that experience shorter product lifecycles and higher R&D costs than other vertical industry groups.
Aerospace & Defense
This industry serves two primary customers—The Department of Defense and commercial airliners. Project accounting as well government regulatory compliance are generally a common denominator.
Some of the products in this vertical include:
- Aircraft
- Missiles, guns and armaments
- Space vehicles and rockets
- Tanks and armored vehicles
Sage MAS 90, MAS 200, and MAS 500 provide distribution and manufacturing solutions that handle many of the needs specific to these suppliers.
Consumer Electronics, Appliances, and Computers
These three segments are some of the fastest growing and constantly evolving industries today. The consumer electronics and computer segments have the shortest product life cycles. Sales demand in the appliance segment tends to loosely follow home sale and remodeling activity. Much of the product process is assemble to order especially in the computer segment. Semiconductor (chip) manufacturers usually subcontract the bulk of production. Advanced inventory replenishment is a must due to the obsolescence factor.
Sage MAS 90, MAS 200, and MAS 500 distribution and manufacturing provide a strong total solution to manage the internal and external requirements of this industry.
Life Sciences
This industry is heavily regulated. Quality assurance, security, lot traceability, and electronic signature compliance with FDA CFR Title 21 (Part 11) are essential throughout much of the industry.
The main segments include:
- Diagnostic and monitoring equipment
- Medical devices
- Medical supplies
- Pharmaceuticals
Sage MAS 90, MAS 200, and MAS 500 distribution and manufacturing are proven solutions in this vertical.
Scientific and Professional Equipment
Three main professional equipment segments are included in this industry, including scientific and lab, telecommunications, and photographic and motion picture. Some common industry issues include product obsolescence, subcontracted production, and the need to provide repair services due to the complexity of the products.
Sage MAS 90, MAS 200, and MAS 500 distribution and manufacturing solutions provide the ideal solution to manage the internal and external requirements of this industry.
