The Next Generation in Supply Chain Management

Today’s challenge is defining and managing the next generation supply chain. This challenge manifests itself in issues that cross multiple trading partners, require real-time visibility, management of dynamic and shifting environments, and an orientation that spans your extended supply chain, not just the enterprise.

Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM); Adaptive Logistics Management (ALM); Extended Relationship management (XRM); Business Activity Monitoring (BAM). No matter what the acronym, companies are finding that traditional supply chain applications don’t address today’s supply chain challenges. Traditional solutions focus on delivering technology that enables processes internal to a company's four walls – today it’s a different ballgame.

eBusiness is being transformed by the rapid growth of Internet-based communications. The power of Web-based applications is their ability to allow people to communicate mission-critical, real-time information anywhere in the world instantaneously. This migration has precipitated the widespread adoption of Internet software applications utilizing the latest technology to fulfill these new and complex communication needs. As these applications emerge their immediate and measurable benefit makes them essential business tools.

With the increasingly competitive business landscape, it has become a strategic necessity to optimize a company’s supply chain in a fashion that leverages the potential of the Internet.

What is Web-Visibility?

Web-Visibility offers accurate and timely monitoring and managing of flow by all parties. It is also new ways of cutting operational costs and improving customer service. Monitoring and managing the flow of inventory through a multi-party supply chain is now possible with Web-Visibility capabilities.

Web-Visibility tools enable enterprises to extract data from multiple platforms and applications and share that up and down the supply chain. Visibility tools do not necessarily create information; they consolidate it into a central point and pass it on. With this type of solution, Third Party Logistics (3PL) clients and customers can focus on managing their supply chain by monitoring movement and exception with customized status and events notifications via the Internet.

Why Outsource?

The 3PL competitive advantage is more than providing quality service. Information technology is now the differentiating factor between competitors in this market. Third party logistics providers (3PL) have long felt the push from clients to provide real time visibility of logistics information beyond the four walls.

With growing demand for increased service levels in the supply chain, many companies are now partnering with Third Party Logistics firms to handle the distribution function in their business. One of the primary reasons for this is that many companies are simply not equipped to keep pace with advances in technology. The rapid growth of IT requirements and increased technological complexity have made it difficult and time-consuming for companies to manage their internal logistics operations and IT infrastructure. Companies look to engage a 3PL with state-of-the-art supply chain management technology without having to incur the time and resources needed to build these sophisticated solutions in-house.
