Make the shift to data-driven
Taking one step at a time, with end-to-end visibility in mind
Rome was not built in a day, and you probably have certain areas where some level of visibility is implemented, albeit in a sub-optimal way. Determine for yourself where you lack most of the control and visibility, and where consequences are most painful. Priority ranking allows us to make a plan of how we gradually add pieces to the end-to-end visibility puzzle.
We will need to look at the sequence, however. Getting certain insights will require other building blocks to come first, keeping the data quality, granularity, and real-time aspect in mind. An additional crucial aspect is data origin since a lot of data will need to come from outside your organization. Here, where the data capture and validation challenge is the largest, Quyntess excels.
Order fulfilment visibility
Especially for mission-critical material orders, at every moment of the day, you want real-time visibility on the status and details of your purchase orders, at the line level of each transaction. We show you intermediate and end statuses at the collaboration platform level or can also provide the same in your ERP system (s). Next, we keep a full audit trail of all actions and changes that took place, so looking back also remains easy and valuable.
Shipment visibility & tracking
Even today, the inbound shipping process still relies a lot on wishful thinking. In many cases orders are not even formally confirmed and the amount of suppliers that consistently announce their outgoing shipments to buyers is low. We can help you to drastically increase the ASN rate of shipments, and use that information to expedite and automate the transportation process, allowing us at the same time to get our hands on real-time tracking data.
End-to-end SC performance
The problem with fragmented and non-structured data is that you cannot capture it in a consistent and time-stamped way. This means that information in PDFs, emails, calls, and chats needs to become system data with recorded time-lapse. We can convert these into measurable digital data and events, that we can combine with any of your existing system data sources. In this way, we can push SC performance data in one visibility layer to all relevant users.
Partner performance & compliance
When you have hundreds or thousands of suppliers, logistics services providers, and other partners in your ecosystem, you want to efficiently measure how well they perform in your business relationship, and how compliant they are against what has been formally agreed. We allow you to publish non-disputed data on our shared collaboration platform that allows partners to self-assess their results and drill down to the facts behind the numbers.

"On one hand we gained efficiency, on the other hand, reliability and much better control over the materials that we have not received. This also means that the invoice check and matching runs smoothly, whereas in the past we had a lot of trouble linking the invoice to what we had ordered."

Buyer dashboards, shared insights or SCM data feed
Flexibly choose which insights you want to share with whom
As the first and most advanced option, we offer the SCM Dashboard App that allows you to serve both internal colleagues and external business partner users with real-time insights of different kinds, embedded within the collaboration platform. The app comes with an extensive set of commonly used dashboards and reports that allow all stakeholders to assess performance and compliance in an easy and flexible way. Our customers can even add custom views and insights to their liking.
In case the buying organization prioritizes internal visibility and productivity, they can choose not to expose the data and dashboards to their partners yet, and focus on actionable dashboards for order fulfillment, shipment visibility, accounts payable, inventory visibility, and other process-related insights. All this is still provided via the SCM Dashboard App, one-sided.
Finally, we can also provide our SCM Data Feed as a service to feed your data lake or business intelligence platform with information we collect from the buyer-supplier-logistics partner collaboration that takes place on the multi-enterprise collaboration network, supported by our SCM Apps. We offer ready-to-go data sets for pre-defined KPIs, next to the raw data.
SCM Dashboard
The SCM Dashboard app makes Business Intelligence (BI) collaborative. A combination of industry-specific KPIs as well as actionable analytics with direct access to tasks and exceptions in all the other apps used provide a unique level of control. Challenge suppliers with real-time views of their SLAs and help them with tools that intuitively guide them to the actions required.
Order Collaboration
The Order Collaboration App optimizes collaboration around order processes between buyers and sellers. The full integration with the supplier's ERP system enables smooth data exchange, enables end-to-end monitoring, creates real-time transparency, and can be used to take corrective actions at the order line level and ensure efficient (re)planning.
Logistics Collaboration
The Logistics Collaboration App simplifies communication and collaboration around the transportation process, enabling a continuous and orderly flow of data between buyers, suppliers, carriers, and/or forwarders. The end-to-end integration of carrier information related to transport orders and freight costs allows automated invoice flipping across multiple connected ecosystems.
Inventory Collaboration
The Inventory Collaboration app is designed to improve forward visibility on projected inventory balances bringing together all relevant elements such as forecasts, announced dispatches, inventory by location, and production schedules. It proactively alerts on shortages, especially if milestones from external sources are not reported for completion.
Forecast Collaboration
The Forecast Collaboration App allows collaboration between buyers and suppliers on developments in time-phased demand. With this app, both parties have access to the same demand and supply data, can set up and manage a contract-based procurement process, and will be guided by the workflow to efficiently move through the process.
