Business Intelligence and Integration Solutions for Supply-Chain Management
WebFOCUS provides companies with direct access to vital, complete information from virtually any internal or external source.
With more products, components, logistics partners, production plants, and warehouses than ever before, supply chains are becoming increasingly complex - making it difficult to control operations, track related workflows, and gain complete visibility into the status of all activities. At the same time, globalization and unpredictable fluctuations in demand create greater risk.
Enterprise integration and business intelligence (BI) solutions from Information Builders can help you streamline the supply chain from end to end. Our supply-chain technologies can automate order processing, production, fulfillment, and other critical processes, forecast demand, and provide comprehensive analysis of production capacity, inventory levels, work in progress, and delivery status.
Technologies from Information Builders provide companies with real-time insight into their entire supply chain, so they can:
- Monitor the performance of vendors, distributors, logistics service providers, and other partners
- Improve inventory control of both components and finished goods to support just-in-time and lean manufacturing strategies
- Perform sophisticated analysis to better forecast demand fluctuations
- Track work in progress to uncover problems and optimize production efficiencies
- Manage overall supply-chain performance by assessing critical metrics such as on-time delivery, reductions in working capital, qualitative and quantitative ROI, cost of goods produced and/or sold
With Information Builders, companies can accelerate the execution of key supply-chain procedures and better coordinate activities with vendors and other supply-chain partners, so they can increase productivity, eliminate costly backlogs and delays, improve business alliances, and most importantly, optimize customer service.
