Supply Chain Visibility | Datacraft Solutions

By: Thomas Cutler

According to Datacraft Solutions' CEO Stephen Parker, "Supply Chain Visibility is the most critical factor and along with lean electronic inventory replacement enables our customers to rapidly implement our solutions without incremental investments in infrastructure. This facilitates a rapid path to return on investment. In addition, this lean SaaS (software as a service) model allows our customer to implement a solution at a predetermined monthly cost. Datacraft Solutions provides all system maintenance, upgrades and functional enhancements without the cost creep of additional modules."

Datacraft Solutions is the leader in supply chain visibility solutions and has a target customer: manufacturers that are managing a supply chain of many suppliers with varying lead times. These are typically assembly line manufacturers that have typically carried higher levels of safety stock due to the costs associated with stock outs on an assembly line.

When a manufacturer has clear supply chain visibility there is less waste because it is a more rapid, efficient, and cost-effective approach to Digital Kanban than traditional licensed Kanban software because:
oThe software is already installed in a production environment and ready to use.
oCustomer does not have to purchase expensive hardware or pay a very large upfront license fee for the application as well as purchasing hardware and prerequisite software and training support personnel on how to maintain/operate the system.
oPay as you go for what you use, not for what you do not use (user based pricing).
oImplementation time is generally less than a month to train personnel, configure the application and begin using the system.
oSupport of the system is accomplished by the experts that developed it allowing users to focus on their core business, not on how to trouble shoot hardware and software.

Digital Kanban solutions within the demand-driven supply chain impact profit margins in several ways: by decreasing expense side tangible cost associated with legacy forecast management solutions, increase profit margins through efficiency gains. Increased customer satisfaction may result in additional sales to new as well as existing customers. Automated Kanban can dramatically reduce inventory, increase turns, and eliminate stock outs while enhancing supplier relations and customer satisfaction.
