Grounded in ERP shipment + CRM case
At a glance
Soberan ERP manages inventory, procurement, warehouse, and finance; CRM manages pipeline, campaigns, and service - with agents linking RMA data to inventory and marketing.
ERP & operations pressure
Allocation and distributor tiers
Who gets chips when supply is rationed needs governed rules - not inbox politics.
BOM alternates and AVL churn
Engineering swaps parts faster than planners refresh parameters - MRP lies politely.
Channel inventory & gray-market leakage
Same SKU, different regional SKUs, and parallel imports distort true demand.
CRM & customer pressure
Preorder trust & delivery drift
CRM nurtures excitement; ERP slips dates - chargebacks and churn follow.
Omnichannel trade-in and upgrade
Valuation needs device condition, ERP residual value, and CRM eligibility in one flow.
B2B design-win tracking
Long-cycle opportunities starve without linkage to sample shipments and engineering requests.
