Building the supply chain of the future with data analytics

To succeed in the digital age, supply chain managers recognize that efficient operations are the bedrock of a sound business. But many organizations struggle to cope with the realities of today's complex business environment.

To help alleviate these pain points, we've partnered with some of the world's largest companies to transform and run their supply chain operations — so they can thrive in the digital age. Our offerings span supply chain planning, global transportation and logistics, and after-sales services. Relying on more than 20 years of consulting and technology experience, our mission is to continue building the supply chain of the future.

Challenge

Supply chain transformation at pace

From sudden changes in demand to supply constraints and logistical challenges, supply chain operations are at constant risk of disruption. Complicating matters further are the silos associated with running a global business, especially when each geography has disconnected supply and demand workflows. Add fierce competition to the mix, and the results are anything but ideal.

With the stakes higher than ever before, enterprise leaders increasingly require more from their supply chains. More value. More agility. More intelligence. And more innovation.

Case study

Relying on the power of data to make decisions

The challenge: A global retailer knew its supply chain operations had become outdated. For most day-to-day operations, employees at this organization relied on email and spreadsheets to manage their workflow. The result? Inefficient processes and frustrated clients and employees.

The solution: First, we implemented a transportation management system, digitally connecting the company's domestic and international freight movement. Then, we automated most processes and provided visibility into all inbound and outbound shipments through a supply chain control tower. Finally, we automated weekly and monthly reporting to increase visibility into critical KPIs.

The impact: Soon after we deployed these solutions, the retailer achieved a 10% reduction in transportation costs through improved control and auditing and an 8% reduction in negotiated rates. In addition, process automation allowed the company to re-task 25% of its supply chain professionals. Plus, better visibility of shipment routes and status resulted in shortened product lead times and improved client communications.
