About Wesupply.com
Flows
Network Alignment
Traditional On Premise enterprise ERP and Supply Chain Management software concentrates on trying to help companies manage the movement of goods. When these systems were designed and built, supply chains were local, un-integrated and used inventory as buffers to protect the host enterprise from variability in demand within the supply chain. Today's supply chains have expanded to networks made of many interconnected supply chains, driven by globalization, and the need for trading partners to collaborate for competitiveness. In this environment, the old, clearly defined boundaries are becoming indistinct, and in an effort to achieve supply chain performance, the need for alignment with other business flows is now fundamental.
Physical Flow
Supply chain networks exist to move physical goods and materials between trading partners so that end products are available to the consumer, when they need them, and in the quantities they require. This is the physical flow. As consumer pressure increases, lifecycles reduce, and competition remains cutthroat, an agile supply chain network becomes a fundamental component in any company's strategy. To become agile, this network must be efficient, demand driven and be able to process and move goods at high speed. Wesupply.com On Demand Supply Chain Management is designed to give visibility and control of this physical flow of materials and goods, and to give companies and their trading partners' competitive edge through achieving maximum availability at lowest cost.
Information Flow
As velocity increases in the supply chain network, and trading partner relationships become closer and more automated, information and electronic documents become gatekeepers to other flows. For example, as static inventory is driven out of supply chain networks, so discrete purchase orders have migrated to shipping instructions which are automatically released according to real demand. In response, goods receiving is becoming more automated and relies on advanced notice of deliveries in order to maintain velocity. The Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is now becoming the gate keeping document at receiving and if not transmitted successfully, causes major disruption to physical flows of goods and cash flows. Wesupply.com On Demand Electronic Trading ensures that information flow is managed properly and kept in alignment with the other business flows.
Cash Flow
Efficient electronic trading and supply chain management are obvious methods for reducing operating costs, improving customer service and ultimately increasing revenues and margins. It is important, however, to ensure that network supply chain plans and execution decisions can be reflected in cash terms and their impact on financial budgets evaluated. Wesupply.com is designed to enable multi-currency monetary impacts to be measured and monitored so that business processes like sales and operations planning can be evaluated more frequently and promote consensus and confidence for business owners.
Risk Flow
Most business decisions made involve balancing risk with opportunity. Risk flows from trying to reduce costs and increase margins while seeking to maximise customer service. By providing full supply chain network visibility into physical, information and cash flows, Wesupply.com supports better decision making by revealing difficult to see costs and opportunities. For example, when moving to Low Cost Country manufacturing, Wesupply.com, helps to monitor the extended supply chain, and brings into focus the impact of longer lead times and increased logistics uncertainty which must balance lower unit costs.
Sustainable
The carbon footprint of all supply chain processes is being increasingly scrutinised. In the near future, It is likely that carbon budgets will become more and more prevalent, but already initiatives such as Local Produce in grocery retailing and objectives to reduce food miles are becoming more mainstream. Wesupply.com can help with these types of program today, by understanding and streamlining complex supply chain networks, as well as offering optimised utilisation support for logistics load planning, and enabling integrated network planning and execution for all supply chain partners from global multi-nationals to the smallest specialist suppliers.
