Supply Cain Suite

Connect seamlessly, optimize efficiently

 With the Supply Chain Suite, you have a new level of control and optimization for your entire supply chain. Find out how a comprehensive, data-based approach not only makes your processes more efficient, but also reduces costs and helps you implement the requirements of Industry 4.0.

Create transparency

Achieve comprehensive transparency across your entire supply chain with the Supply Chain Suite (SCS). The SCS integrates data from a wide range of sources and formats - including ERP systems and unstructured data - prepares it and summarizes it in a flexible data model. This gives you valuable insights into logistics information that was previously hidden in isolated and sometimes contradictory data sources.

 Drive optimization

Simulate and optimize the logistical processes of your supply chain with the Supply Chain Suite. Identify strategic and tactical opportunities for improvement and visualize interactions in advance. Use models and simulations based on real data to discover new potential for optimization.

 Increase added value

Use standardized data models to gain valuable insights into logistics and business processes. SCS supports you with powerful simulation and analysis tools. This allows you to effectively evaluate your entire supply chain based on key metrics.

 Operational Excellence

SCS supports you in the practical implementation of warehouse   and transport processes. From system-supported tender and contract management to the daily management of warehouse strategies and transport planning – SCS enables you to exploit the full potential of your operational supply chain.

Plan, simulate  and optimize  your supply chain!

Use the full potential of your logistics by consolidating relevant data and information from various sources and making it available centrally. The Supply Chain Suite enables the precise analysis and simulation of every logistics process, supported by the use of digital twins. This approach gives you a virtual replica of your entire supply chain, which you can use to optimize processes, identify bottlenecks early on, and make more efficient decisions. This not only increases transparency, but also improves the efficiency and agility of your logistics processes.

Analyst, consultant and process optimiser: The digital twin has many talents! [EN]

The more reliably companies are able to answer questions relating to the future and to decisions that need to be made, the more successfully they will be able to perform in the market. But how close do they really get to the ideal solution that they desire when using all of the available analysis tools? And how can this solution be implemented in real life with as few risks as possible?

Next-gen industry meets next-gen logistics [EN]

Say goodbye to guesswork! Now it’s possible to nail down precise delivery times based on production status. Data generated from production and logistics enable simulations that help avoid risk and optimize capacities.

The IT control tower solution [EN]

Customers, manufacturers, suppliers, warehousers, carriers, consignees: Running a supply chain means orchestrating smooth interactions among the various players and their IT systems. Cloud-based platforms help avoid dissonance by offering flexible options for access and integration through EDI interfaces, web services, web accounts, or mobile devices. What used to be bi directional connections become multi directional communications networks in which information is always available to the very people who need it so that they in turn can ensure smooth processes.

More Sustainability through Digitalization [EN]

In this world, data provides the infrastructure for smart supply chains and the collaboration between human beings and machines. Such infrastructures are smart only when they go beyond satisfying customer needs to meet increasingly strict environmental goals. Lawmakers are not the only ones who expect polluters to pay. Port authorities are charging higher demurrage for ships that darken the skies with the emissions from the heavy fuel oils they burn. Consumers are punishing businesses that act irresponsibly. Stock prices erode when environmental scandals come to light.

Current challenges for manufacturers and their logistics [EN]

When production stalls, it gets expensive. Assembly lines come to a standstill, resources remain unused, delivery deadlines slip. The chain of negative events often has far reaching and unpredictable consequences for manufacturers and their customers.

Why supply chains need to uplevel their transparency [EN]

Many supply chains are stuck in a rut: They lack transparency and dynamism and tend to perpetuate their own status quo. If there’s a snag somewhere – if workflows tend to produce pain rather than gain – the instinct is to start randomly changing things. What looks like agile supply chain positioning is actually a drift into mediocrity: stuck in the middle.

Supply Chains need resilience against disruptions [EN]

The supply chain is a delicate structure – a mosaic of relationships that link worlds. We are constantly reminded of just how vulnerable this organism is by the steady trickle of ominous new developments

that threaten it: supply problems that bring semiconductor production to a standstill, a pandemic that stops supply chains in their tracks, severe weather incidents that cause regional bottlenecks, labor strikes that create traffic gridlock.
