How Can Insight Help You
Perfect Order
Improve Your Service Level
Challenge: Supply Chains have become more and more complex, but the end goal is still the same: give your customers what they want when they want it.
Solution: Blue Sky’s Perfect Order Insight module will help you deliver the right amount of the right product at the right time by letting you track service level metrics by factors such as customer, region, and supplier. We’ll give each of your departments the data they need to proactively head off service disruptions and quickly drill down to the root cause of the problem.
Distribution Operations
Streamline Your Operations
Challenge: Cutting costs, improving efficiency, and reducing supply chain risk are challenges that span your entire operation. Warehouse managers need to effectively allocate both people and space. Dock managers need to get the trucks in and out quickly to avoid congestion at the dock and to get orders delivered on time. Exceptions that are caught early enough can be avoided, but with multiple systems that don’t communicate, it’s difficult to get the information you need to be proactive.
Solution: Blue Sky’s Distribution Operations Insight module provides detailed operational information and proactive alerting to the people who need it whether they’re at their desk, walking the floor, or off-site. With a pre-built library of over 100 KPIs, Dashboards can be specifically tailored for each role in your operation to provide the right information to the right person. By tying together data from multiple backend systems, Insight can help you finally achieve total supply chain visibility.
Inventory Visibility
Go Lean
Challenge: Too much inventory can take up valuable space and result in waste as products have to be discarded or sold at a loss. Too little inventory will cause out of stocks and may lose customers. To keep inventory levels at a healthy balance, you need to have access to timely and accurate information on supply and demand and know which suppliers you can trust.
Solution: With Blue Sky’s Inventory Visibility Insight module, you and your suppliers will always know what you have and what you need to satisfy your customers’ demand. You’ll be able to analyze historical demand, current inventory levels, in-process orders, and supplier performance in an intuitive interface so that planning and purchasing experts can run a lean operation while reducing out of stocks.
Appointment Management System
Optimize Appointment Scheduling Capabilities
Challenge: Manual scheduling of appointments can be a very labor intensive process, with little visibility into how the operation is performing real-time versus the planned schedule. Oftentimes, shipment capacity is driven off of a static plan that may not be as optimized as it could be. This leads to lost revenue and increased labor costs. The lack of real-time appointment visibility can cause a delayed reaction to a symptom, rather than proactive actions to avoid congestion or scheduling conflicts.
Solution: Blue Sky's Appointment Management System provides on-line Appointment Scheduling capabilities for Carriers and Vendors. Appointments can be created in a few easy steps, providing you instant access to the complete Appointment Schedule for a given day. Real-time visibility to shipment status and doors allows efficient management of labor resources and increased utilization of available doors. Alerts are available to report exceptions that can be addressed before conflicts arise. With AMS, increased efficiency of doors and labor utilization can increase shipment capacity and thus increase revenue.
