To reduce inventories, optimize networks, and mitigate risk, global supply chain teams need near real-time visibility into the status of orders and shipments. However, supply chain visibility is complicated by today's global trading systems, which have different infrastructures, data definitions, and message formats. It can be difficult to receive and interpret status updates from numerous carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders to gain a comprehensive picture and assess performance and bottlenecks. Without this big picture, it becomes nearly impossible to implement cost-saving strategies, such as just-in-time inventory replenishment. When delivery windows are tight, even minor missteps and miscalculations can have major consequences.
Amber Road's Supply Chain Visibility solution provides multi-mode supply chain
visibility functionality that connects midsize importers and exporters with their
overseas suppliers, logistics providers, brokers, and carriers. Amber Road has built a global trading network with pre-established connectivity to hundreds of trading partners. Delivered via a cloud-based solution, our network provides the ability for midsize companies to quickly connect with suppliers and customers while minimizing the impact on their IT organization.
The network's secure data communication services enable supply chain partners to share information, distribute reports, and receive alerts on milestones that are critical to the timely delivery of goods.
