Supply Chain Visibility

Keeping an eye on the big picture in logistics networks

Businesses devote a lot of thought to how they can optimize their logistics networks. But often, they can’t see the forest for the trees: They focus on individual facets and fail to see or evaluate the complete landscape of interlocking logistics processes. This makes it impossible to properly identify bottlenecks or potential optimizations and simulate their impact on the supply chain. What’s needed is a detailed, uniform view of all factors, including transport and storage. These factors vary from company to company, so each solution must be unique, though linked by a common strategy.

Businesses use this solution to keep an eye on the big picture in their logistics networks. Other benefits:

• Provides the ideal foundation for the data-driven analysis, simulation, and optimization of even the most complex logistics processes
• Enables the KPI-driven evaluation of the entire supply chain
• Visualizes findings for reports or internal auditing purposes using tables, maps, and dashboards
• Feeds these insights right back into the operational system, with updates based on new data as often as needed
• Makes iterative optimization a core component of a visible, holistic supply chain

Businesses gain a powerful tool for analyzing and developing their logistics networks. Harmonized data then facilitates the simulation and optimization of logistics processes. This uncovers strategic and tactical potential and makes it possible to identify any conflicts between the various measures early on.

Adapted to individual needs, the solution lets you gather and share logistics data from different sources, yielding a holistic view of the supply chain and opening the door to better design and optimized supply chain management. This makes processes more efficient and saves costs.

This end-to-end supply chain solution also opens up new decision-making horizons at all management levels—in operational, tactical, and strategic planning—giving businesses everything they need to rise to the challenges of tomorrow’s high-tech industry.
