Key Features
Our web-based Order Management Console facilitates replenishment orders, inventory management, demand visibility, and vendor managed inventory (VMI). These applications can be used either by your company, to manage your customers' inventories, or made accessible to your suppliers. Supply Chain Connect's Order Management Console provides visibility to both on-hand and in-transit inventory. Lead-time adjusted inventory is displayed and overlaid with planned consumption, so you have the ability to balance demand with on-hand and available supply in a single solution. Enjoy certainty in your supply chain based upon accurate and timely data, and the ability to share automate the end-to-end supply chain process, regardless of the number of partners involved.Key Features
