Design products with speed and accuracy

Gain a competitive advantage by centrally managing product information across global sites and subsidiaries.

Elevate product information

  • Enhance product information for your industry through vertically calibrated solutions from independent software vendors.

Offer configurable products

  • Empower your customers to easily personalize their orders with configure-to-order capabilities.

Manage product quality

  • Ensure efficient production lines by effectively managing product revisions and by predicting and resolving quality issues with engineering change management.

Plan with confidence and agility

Complete material requirements and resource planning in minutes so planners can react to demand changes in near-real time, leading to faster replenishment cycles and shorter delivery lead times.

Optimize inventory allocations

  • Ensure that the right products are in the right place at the right time with a single view of inventory across channels and the ability to allocate inventory for specific needs or customers.

Improve demand forecasting

  • Enrich historical demand data with AI predictions powered by Azure Machine Learning to improve forecasting for future supply levels.

Eliminate stockout situations

  • Automatically prioritize replenishment of high-demand items based on order priorities, current stock levels, and projected inventory with priority-based planning.

Procure with strategy and cost efficiency

Use a single application to collaborate with vendors across procurement processes such as purchase order management, request for quotation (RFQ) bidding, and invoicing with secure portal access.

Build resiliency in supplier networks

  • Automatically build redundancy for critical supplies to mitigate parts shortages by enabling links to external vendor catalogs and suggestions for alternate products.

Improve cost management

  • Realize maximum cost savings by automatically applying negotiated pricing based on business-defined purchase policies.

Simplify procurement workflows

  • Streamline purchasing operations with cross-procurement workflows for purchase requisitions, RFQs, and trade agreements for direct and indirect purchases.

Produce with innovation and sustainability

Proactively manage the shop floor using a real-time view of production and stock to improve quality, increase throughput, and reduce downtime with modern production floor execution user interfaces.

Innovate with intelligent manufacturing

  • Implement sustainable and adaptable manufacturing processes using the Internet of Things (IoT) and mixed reality to accelerate the time to market for new products.

Enhance the visibility of the production floor

  • Incorporate data from external manufacturing execution systems to eliminate data silos, improve quality, and optimize production processes with manufacturing execution systems integration.

Keep production running continuously

  • Easily scale production during peaks and keep critical manufacturing processes running in remote locations, even when disconnected from the cloud, by using scale units at the edge.

Deliver with consistency and expediency

Provide accurate inventory information to customers at order entry and make reservations using real-time inventory and available-to-promise (ATP) data.

Maintain customer loyalty

  • Offer consistency in pricing with flexible rebate calculations, target transactions, and trade allowance management capabilities.

Unify warehousing data

  • Consolidate warehousing data with a comprehensive warehouse management module driven by real-time inventory visibility, carrier data, and material handling event information.

Implement resiliency in warehouse operations

  • Mitigate labor shortages by augmenting warehouse staff with robotic automation for material handling.

Coordinate loading-dock schedules

  • Build and consolidate inbound and outbound loads to optimize truck space and loading docks with load-planning capabilities and appointment scheduling.

Operate with precision and foresight

Proactively manage business-critical equipment by performing all types of maintenance—predictive, corrective, condition-based, and preventative.

Improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)

  • Increase throughput, improve quality, and reduce downtime of mission-critical assets by using IoT and mixed reality.

Synchronize maintenance and production scheduling

  • Optimize resource capacity utilization and avoid conflicts for maintenance work and production activities for geographically dispersed assets with advanced scheduling capabilities.

Enhance inventory accuracy

  • Perform streamlined and automated cycle-counting processes on an intuitive mobile app.
