CHANNEL

Energize channel partnership and performance.

Unlock the true power of your channel by choosing the right partners capable of creating and the developing your targeted market. Incentivize sales and drive a new level of profitability with a single connected platform, simultaneously optimizing the needs of the entire channel. Raise performance with connected decisions, considering all channel programs together, rather than in siloes. Leverage real-time sales and inventory data across all distributors, resellers, and retailers for a balanced response to maximize service and financial goals, even when supply is constrained.

PLANNING

Overcome supply chain volatility through supply chain resiliency

LOGISTICS

Gain efficiencies and improve profitability by land, by air, and by sea

Whether you are a brand owner shipping freight, a carrier managing assets or a forwarder connecting the two, we’ve got you covered across ocean, air, road, parcel and rail. Step up to a connected logistics platform for all transportation needs. Plan and book freight across all modes and regions through the largest network of carriers. Gain visibility and track goods in motion to their final destination, understand the business impact of delays, and take corrective action. Shipping made easy, with simplified tendering, optimized use of capacity and containers, streamlined payments, and reduced carbon impact.

SUPPLY

Realize greater end-to-end manufacturing-to -supply efficiencies

Gain the same level of visibility and control for outsourced manufacturing and suppliers as you have for internal operations. Collaborate and orchestrate across all tiers so that upstream partners move as one, to reduce production risk and financial liability, increase supply assurance, ensure service, and capture upside revenue opportunities. Connect all aspects of supply on a single platform and stay in sync with all partners on everything from changes in forecast, capacity and upsides to detailed shop floor execution visibility and quality risks. Streamline direct procurement across ecosystem partners to boost profitability, maximize economies of scale, minimize bill-of-material costs and fully-automate purchase orders.

Modern outsourced supply chains call for a different kind of planning that goes beyond your enterprise to include all tiers of distribution and supply ecosystem partners. Maximize financial goals with the best feasible plan given any remaining supply constraints for both internal and outsourced manufacturing. Ensure accurate demand, supply, and inventory plans based on market realities through connected planning capability powered by real-time data, field-proven artificial intelligence. Protect against market volatility, ensure excellent service, and capture growth opportunities through advanced demand planning and sensing capabilities. Predict materials shortfalls and proactively mitigate production continuity risks through AI-based planning.
