We help companies optimize global value chain operations and mitigate disruptions with simpler and more agile supply chain planning in the cloud.
The consumer industry is a complex manufacturing and distribution network, where each decision and disruption reverberates across the value chain.
Consumer companies must balance continuous supply chain challenges, cost of inventory and production lines, and offsite vendor interactions. Meanwhile, consumer expectations drive demand for ever-increasing levels of detail about each product purchased, including arrival times, pricing, and varied configurations.
Our Digital Supply Chain solution uses analytics and machine learning to better manage production and inventories for the consumer industry.

How We Help Companies Address Critical Supply Chain Challenges
Digital Supply Chain Strategy
Responding to changes in today’s supply chain networks requires a unified data strategy that provides end-to-end visibility in real-time.
By integrating the supply chain and manufacturing network into the digital thread, we enable rapid creation of supply chain simulations and identify scenario plans that meet expected outcomes.
Staffing & Resource Shortages
Automation can help alleviate staff shortages, but not all functions can or should be automated.
We help centralize critical supply chain planning roles and automate many of the required plans generated from an integrated solution.
Speed of Innovation
As digital native startups enter the market and create buying habits through new channels through new channels, consumer companies need to accelerate their pace of innovation and speed to market.
The digital thread helps accelerate product lifecycle management and new product innovation processes enabling digital simulations that predict performance and financial outcomes.
Economic & Supply Chain Instability
As disruptions, shortages and instability of critical suppliers continue, supply chain solutions need to be rethought.
Our approach to digital value chain provides simulations and scenarios faster, providing more options and longer visibility for the end-to-end supply chain.
Dynamic Consumer Demands & Behaviors
Buying behaviors have shifted toward more personalized and digital experiences, and many organizations are struggling to keep up.
We help integrate data from manufacturing, consumer and innovations environments into a management system that predicts & prescribes supply chain actions to speed response times.
