Seamlessly plan demand, supply, order fulfillment, and production to improve service, reduce disruptions, and minimize costs.

Your organization needs to safeguard against volatility and adjust to supply chain disruptions to keep operations humming. Yet today, only 21% of supply chain organizations believe they have a highly resilient network, according to Gartner. Many organizations face a lack of visibility into their end-to-end supply chain, the inability to meet changing customer demand, disparate systems, outdated technology, and struggles with business continuity during disruptions.

 

Additionally, legacy, on-premises supply chain solutions are often heavily customized and require significant resources to maintain and manage. As business demands grow, on-premises infrastructure often struggles to keep up. Heavy customization means the system cannot be updated or it’s expensive to do so. These limitations lead to a high cost of maintaining the prior infrastructure, lower productivity, and lengthened overall supply chain time due to delays in different phases of the process.

 

After investing in a supply chain management (SCM) solution, clients gain better visibility into their supply chain organization, which allows them to identify issues faster and gather analytics for further improvements. Key results from the investment include better operational efficiency from improved time-to-market and asset utilization, as well as gained insights that translate to increased customer satisfaction and revenue.

How SCM consulting services drive supply chain efficiency

Modernize your supply chain to enhance visibility, improve planning, streamline procurement, and optimize fulfilment. 

Inventory management

Create multi-dimensional inventory records and track items throughout the supply chain. With accurate inventory status, you can implement effective procedures and maintain complete forward and backward traceability of any material. Manufacturers can minimize over-runs and under-runs and use shelf-life planning to consider expiration dates during production and distribution.

Streamline processes

Manage your resources, streamline logistics, automate procure-to-pay processes, and optimize product deliveries to keep your customers satisfied. Keep everything optimized from sales to delivery with one unified system.

See real-time order information

Optimize inventory levels and ensure on-time delivery by sharing real-time information about specifications, order status, and quality control testing among key departments and trading partners. Check current inventory at a glance and see financials and cash flow with a click.

Enhance sustainability goals

SCM solutions enhance sustainability by improving traceability of materials and goods. Companies can make informed decisions about sustainable sourcing, thereby reducing their environmental impact. Additionally, the efficiency gains achieved through effective SCM tools result in decreased waste, energy consumption, and emissions during production and transportation.
