The basis for competition for manufacturing businesses today is not between companies but between supply chains, which need to be agile and transparent for businesses to succeed. Supply chain visibility brings transparency to what is happening within the supply chain. When supply chains are connected to a Digital Supply Network, visibility to future demand, disruptions, and challenges are seen and strategies designed to help the business overcome any issues. Understanding what is happening within suppliers, logistics service providers, buyers and other trading partners can mitigate any unforeseen risks.
The Elemica Digital Supply Network platform enables manufacturing businesses to support their trading partners with a real-time information sharing environment to ensure supply chain excellence. The result is an uninterrupted supply for critical parts in real-time, less waste, tracking and tracing of shipments, and the ability to respond quicker to changes in demand for improved customer expectations and better bottom-line profitability.
Leading with Advance Technology
A disruptive company is one that offers technology that makes significant changes within the market by disrupting established processes, products and mindsets to transform a business. Elemica’s patented Digital Supply Network (DSN) is a disruptive technology that integrates and synchronizes product, demand, and supply networks. The data is used for analytics, delivering intelligent visibility in terms of logistics, customer service, and procurement to drive new revenue streams and business models.
Elemica’s Digital Supply Network is more effective than competitors because many companies on the network are discovering that their suppliers, customers, and logistics service providers are already on the network. The effort to on-board partners is quick and easy and decreases with network reuse.
