Viewlocity’s Sense, Respond, and Measure approach allows organizations to overcome the challenges they face because of distributed supply chain processes and outsourcing of non core business functions to contract service providers.  Our solutions focus on providing users with the following benefits:

• Views into trading partners' internal and external activities.

• Impact notifications indicating how disruptions in the supply chain might affect other processes. 

• Resolution options based on solvers and workflows.

• Analytics to continually measure and adjust supply chain processes.

To provide users with the above benefits, Viewlocity solutions focus on four core areas:

• Supply Chain Visibility – Provides the first phase of Sense by monitoring all aspects of product activity within their supply chain.  To achieve the greatest level of flexibility the customer has a set of robust features allowing them to model significant business activities they deem critical to Sense and move product through their supply chain.  These Sense points include information about forecasts, production progress at suppliers and contract manufacturers, inventory positions, purchase orders, shipment progress, plus alerts to deviations at any of those stages.

• Impact Analysis – Enables the second phase of Sense by identifying current issues in a real-time manner, and more importantly shows them the impact of that issue to downstream processes.  This offers the greatest window of opportunity to resolve the issue.

• Intelligent Resolution – Generates a set of options for the best method to Respond to issues within their supply chain.  These solvers, coupled with workflows, survey the customer’s entire supply chain taking into account many constraints to present the alternative, giving them the best option to manage cost and maintain customer demand.

• Performance Management – Continually Measures supply chain performance.  It also provides a set of Score Cards that aggregates the performance of their trading partners.  The customer now can address areas within their supply chain that are underperforming and improve them.

Viewlocity Solutions offer the following advantages over competing solutions:

• Impact Notification – We provide a set of solutions that not only allows users to understand the current impact of an exception in the supply chain, but also to see how that exception might affect other processes and activities in their supply chain.

• Intelligent Resolution – Our solutions give users insight, allowing them to know about an issue as soon as it occurs, to perform an impact analysis of that problem, and most importantly to solve that problem using Viewlocity’s intelligent options.  Our solutions provide a set of solvers to address business conditions during the execution of activity within the supply chain.  Customers can now react quickly to inevitable issues that will occur during their supply chain execution process.

• Process Modeling – Our solutions offer flexibility in building process models that meet each of our customers’ unique requirements.  They are not bound by rigid processes that require changes to their business practices, but instead are equipped with the ability to model their business process to meet their challenges.

• Scalability – We created an environment that allows customers to grow as their business grows.  Built on an N-Tier architecture our solution allows customers to add servers to the tier that needs the extra power to fulfill their requirements (application, web, or database). 

• Single Environment – We build our suites of solutions on a single environment reducing the integration touch points, providing a single sign on, and enabling a single point to monitor all supply chain activity.  We provide a simple migration path to extend functionality as business needs grow.

• Proven Technology – Our solutions are deployed and used by numerous customers, in some cases processing millions of transactions a day, while supporting thousands of users. Viewlocity has developed deep subject expertise in the area of extended supply chain management and optimization and has delivered solutions to a number of the thought leaders and innovative companies.
