Supply chain management software

 Supply chain management (SCM) is the coordination of a business’ entire production flow, from sourcing raw materials to delivering a finished item.

The global supply chain is a complex network of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, wholesalers and customers. Effective SCM is about optimizing this network to ensure that everything gets where it needs to be, when it needs to be there—and as smoothly as possible. It includes obtaining the necessary components, manufacturing the product, storing it, transporting it and getting it to customers.

SCM also involves the coordination of external partners and both internal resources and operations management. According to the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), “in essence, supply chain management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies.”

FlexiVan, a logistics provider managing a fleet of 120,000 shipping chassis, used IBM webMethods to integrate real-time GPS and load sensor data from each asset directly into their core operating systems. This replaced fragmented, manual tracking with a continuous, automated data flow that gave customers precise visibility into asset location and status. The result: partner onboarding time reduced by 25% and a logistics operation that runs on live data rather than periodic updates.
