Performance Management Reporting

You are here

Issues and Challenges

Global supply chains are complex, interconnected systems that must be managed by establishing key performance indicators, capturing metrics, analyzing results, and developing strategies to continuously improve performance. Unfortunately, many supply chain teams struggle to access data stored in multiple sources and formats. Consequently, it is impossible to get a birds-eye-view of global performance.

Challenges include:

  • Retrieving and analyzing thousands of data points and presenting results in a useful format
  • Pinpointing key indicators, such as broker performance, customs clearance rates, on-time delivery rates, cycle time, etc.
  • Distributing reports across the organization to drive decisions

How Amber Road Can Help

Amber Road's performance management capabilities enable users to generate reports or manage key metrics through scorecards and dashboards. Each department can access its performance monitoring reports to manage service providers such as suppliers, forwarders, and brokers, as well as manage critical process cycle times. By sharing operational data and metrics across compliance, logistics, and procurement domains, supply chain managers can make better data-driven decisions and manage cash to cash cycles.

Our advanced reporting capabilities enable users to develop strategic reports, analytics, key performance indicator (KPI) metrics, and scorecards across a wide range of data elements. New report formats can be quickly created by selecting report criteria and columns via drag and drop, setting sort sequences, and defining calculations. Reports can be scheduled to run at specific times and emailed to a selected group of recipients.

Logistiques

Afin de réduire les coûts d’inventaire et d’améliorer l’efficacité de la supply chain, les entreprises ont besoin d’analyses précises pour réduire les variabilités et pour éliminer les temps d’immobilisation.
