Integrated Supply Chain Platform In The Cloud

Supply chain is hugely complex : from demand forecasting to supplier management to factory management to inventory management to logistics management. Every one of these "management" systems require its own software. These software often are "on-premise", which means it it hard to share globally, no mobile access, usually not real time, is hard to use, and does not integrate well with the other "management" systems.

To illustrate how separate "management" systems have to work together, here is a diagram:

A military official "demands" 40 tanks. See how that demand flows through an entire supply chain. Each box is a separate system. But these systems must work together to fulfill the demand. Cloud breaks down siloes created by the separate system, enables real time sharing and analytics. All to make sure demand is met, costs are kept under control, and all potential problems are see before they make an impact.
