Ultriva Founder Explains How the Cloud Can Make Supply Chain Smarter
Cupertino, CA, January 11, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Not much has changed with Supply Chain Management in the last two decades. MRP and ERP forecasts still rule the roost. Narayan Laksham, founder and CEO of Ultriva shared in a recent company blog, “When Supply Chain initiatives are undertaken, they usually involve improving the forecast. However, MRP and ERP systems are data intensive and require timely and stable sales.”
Laksham explained viewing data in a supplier portal utilizing the cloud allows for a single, real-time view of inventory. Buyers, planners, and suppliers see what stock is on hand as well as real-time consumption. Real-time data is accessible to everyone. All can see what orders have been received, shipped, or in transit. This allows all trading partners to be on the same page, with access to the same tools and platforms. Supply chain managers can make proactive decisions “on the go” instead of waiting for the next MRP run or confirmation email or phone call from a supplier that the purchase order was received and is being filled. The decision-making process improves when all information is accurate and easily accessible by all.
