Supply Chain Visibility
Power your “Control Towers” with real-time data with Vendia. Gain auditable “track-and-trace” visibility into an entity's journey and lifecycle across geographies, parties, and systems.
The problem
Value chain refers to the various business activities and processes involved in creating a product or performing a service. As an example, Supply Chain for a manufacturer, is a network of interconnected entities and activities involved in the production, distribution, and delivery of products or services to end customers. Multiple entities and stakeholders involved in various stages of a product lifecycle, leads to fragmented data and inefficient coordination.
Traditional supply chains lack visibility and traceability, are delayed, and rely on communication — not automation. There is lack of visibility between upstream and downstream partners, lack of real-time data to enable real-time actions, lack of trust & privacy in partner data, and all of it is compounded by the fact that bringing it all together is complex and requires connecting disparate systems and data formats.
The impact
Impacts of lack of visibility into your supply chain
Increased Inventory Costs
Lack of visibility leads to inaccurate demand forecasting, resulting in either excess inventory or stockouts. Excessive inventory ties up working capital and incurs carrying costs, while stockouts lead to missed sales opportunities and potential revenue loss.
Inefficient Logistics and Transportation
Without visibility, coordinating logistics becomes challenging, leading to inefficiencies in transportation and higher costs. Inaccurate delivery estimations, delays, and suboptimal route planning can increase freight costs and impact customer satisfaction.
Higher Supply Chain Risk
Lack of visibility makes it difficult to identify and mitigate risks, such as disruptions in the availability of raw materials or components. This can result in production delays, increased costs, and potential revenue loss due to missed delivery deadlines or customer commitments.
Increased Lead Times
Inadequate visibility hampers the ability to track and monitor the movement of goods through the supply chain. Longer lead times can negatively impact customer satisfaction, affecting repeat business and potentially leading to revenue loss.
Inefficient Order Management
Without end-to-end visibility, managing orders and coordinating fulfillment becomes challenging. Inaccurate order processing, delayed order acknowledgments, and poor communication with customers can result in order errors, dissatisfied customers, and potential revenue loss.
Higher Customer Service Costs
Lack of visibility can lead to increased customer service inquiries and support requests. Dealing with customer complaints, order tracking inquiries, and addressing delivery issues can increase operational costs and strain resources.
