Production Tracking

Issues and Challenges

With increased pressure to deliver products faster, maintain less inventory, and reach growth and margin goals, companies need to be more agile and work closer with their supply chain partner network. Without an automated supply chain solution that provides visibility and facilitates collaboration between sourcing teams and suppliers, it is easy to fall short.

With consistent and timely access to supplier information, the production of finished goods is streamlined with the ability to fully track orders and identify any material delays. Having access to accurate production information results in the ability to identify potential delays earlier in the process and respond more cost effectively to meet customer demands.

How Amber Road Can Help

Amber Road’s Production Tracking solution enables the real-time exchange of critical milestone data during pre-production and production. This results in the ability to accurately answer questions like:

• What orders or SKUs am I tracking?

• Where are my goods in the production cycle?

• Who did the work and has my goods?

• How many units are at each stage in the production or shipment process?

The configurable Excel-like worksheets can be used by various organizational teams to maintain control. By providing direct access to the entire trading partner network, companies can collaborate in real-time with internal and external teams, reducing the potential for production delays and ensuring cycle time impacts are minimized. Additionally, sourcing teams can progress from shared visibility to shared collaboration, so that all teams are working towards the common goals of developing quality products at the lowest cost and optimal speed to market.
