Global supply chain optimisation provider, Manhattan Associates, Inc., has released Manhattan Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI), available for the Distribution Management and Transportation Lifecycle Management suites within the Manhattan SCOPE (Supply Chain Optimisation Planning through Execution) portfolio.
Manhattan SCI enables complete, consistent and integrated business intelligence for companies by providing at-a-glance insight into supply chain performance. With easy-to-read, customisable reports presenting powerful analytics, companies can monitor the performance of key elements of their supply chain network from one intuitive workbench.
In the supply chain network, the events that you dont know about and dont react to quickly can make a huge difference in your success, said Eddie Capel, executive vice president for product management and customer support, Manhattan Associates. SCI gives our customers critical business intelligence as events happen anywhere in the network, anywhere in the world, to allow for informed decision-making in re-routing shipments, allocating inventory or recalculating an entire plan based on a single event.
Manhattan SCI provides hundreds of measures, key performance indicators (KPIs) and analysis dimensions that enable companies to gain insight into trends in the supply chain as they happen and make both short and long-term decisions based on that information.
Manhattans solution is the richest solution in terms of supporting operational metrics for the warehouse that I have seen, said Steve Banker, ARC Advisory Group.
Features and enhancements of Manhattan SCI include:
A single, consistent, easy-to-use user interface, technology and data architecture for all capabilities whether they are analysis, reporting or events/alerts-related;
Role-based workbench capabilities that can be deployed both to customer users and trading partners using a consistent security model;
Cross-supply chain insight capability with Manhattan Distribution Management and Transportation Lifecycle Management product suites;
Self-service ad hoc querying for users to get answers to questions not addressed by pre-set analyses and reports;
Access to all analytics and reports directly via Microsoft Office applications and supported mobile devices (e.g. Blackberrys, other Personal Digital Assistant Devices);
The worlds leading business intelligence technology -- IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence (embedded into SCI).
