The Solution

Using our proven F.A.R.M.™ framework, we can design an actionable Master Data Management (MDM) strategy to deliver a single point of truth and faster access to data in order to make strategic decisions that can benefit the supply chain.

Forecast the Future

The Challenge

A food logistics provider wants to improve product demand prediction accuracy to decrease food perishability.

The Solution

Using Machine Learning, we can consider market scenarios, seasonal shifts, customer preferences, and any other aspect that influences a product’s demand and time spent in a warehouse to model optimal demand planning.

Automate the Mundane

The Challenge

A meat distributor wants their WMS to interface with their order fulfillment system based on order event triggers to ensure more accurate inventory levels.

The Solution

Using process automation “bots,” we can monitor orders and update the order handover details across all relevant systems, thereby ensuring optimal inventory levels.

Modernize Data Foundations

The Challenge

A food wholesaler is doing all of their inventory management, data and lot tracking using spreadsheets and an outdated ERP.

The Solution

Using open-source data integration tools, we can consolidate data across existing systems and files, and deploy clean data into a cloud data warehouse where it can be used to optimize inventory levels.

Eliminate Data Silos

The Challenge

A food distributor wants a way to unify their data by integrating their Warehouse Management System (WMS) with their transportation and fulfillment management systems to work more efficiently.

The Solution

With integrated workflows we can connect all three systems simultaneously, fully digitize their supply-chain processes, and allow systems to “talk” across their data to provide visibility to each phase of the supply chain.
