Abstract

Effective management of the flow of goods includes both the physical transport of goods and the flow of information concerning a given transport. As the goods go through various stages of the supply chain, the information undergoes numerous changes. For this reason, the IT systems used by all business partners to control the flow of goods and information within the supply chain must guarantee the integrity of information at every stage. Providing speed and accuracy of information in supply chains, is one of the main tasks of logistics controlling. In this manuscript the authors try to present the problem of integrating ERP in the supply chain and its impact on logistics controlling.
