Intelligent Supply Chains

The requirement for faster responses to market conditions throughout the entire supply chain, right from the planning and procurement of raw materials through production and, ultimately, customer delivery, are moving manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to seek increasingly agile, information-driven, "demand pull" supply chain planning processes. More companies are turning every day to QlikView to provide the platform for the quick and lasting transformation to a new, leading-edge, business agility.

Partner and Supplier Collaboration

By simplifying the integration and analysis of data from internal and external data souces, QlikView enables companies to collaborate closer and share information with their sales partners and suppliers. Decision makers are empowered with near real-time visibility into demand planning and execution. Benefits begin with more accurate forecasting of demand volume and procurement of raw materials dynamically aligned with sales forecasts and product inventory, in sales channels, at customer sites (spare parts inventory), in warehouses, and in transit. Selected information sharing can be easily extended to contract manufacturers and third-party logistics companies as well.

End-to-End Business Agility

The intelligent supply and demand analytics in QlikView provide an end-to-end agility that enables all stakeholders to respond quickly to shifts in market demand and the opportunities to exploit trends. QlikView's more flexible in-memory analysis also improves the capabilities of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to optimize inventory levels, manage product flow, and track supplier performance. Companies substantially increase their ability to cost-effectively deliver more marketable products and value-added services when customer demands are highest. Fast time to value can be measured by being first to market with "customer-driven" products and value add-ons, generating improved brand differentiation, and stronger collaborative relationships with channel partners.

Working with the Same Information

The lack of connections between the separate data-driven processes across a supply chain impair business agility and increase operational costs. QlikView's flexible data-sharing architecture optimizes data as it is loaded from disparate sourcing databases and quickly exposes redundancies and errors for easy remediation. Using QlikView, everyone works with the same information across supply chain processes and dependent business functions. This, in turn, helps to eliminate confusion in item management to improve inventory levels, replenishment execution and response to demand changes and to reduce operational costs
