New Cloud-based collaborative inventory management solution from CDC Software
C
DC Software Corporation, a global provider of enterprise software applications and services, has introduced CDC TradeBeam i-Supply 7.6. This
latest version of CDC Software's Cloud collaborative inventory management solution is said to improve supply chain visibility to help minimise risk, reduce the need for emergency shipments and improve order accuracy and lead time. i-Supply helps supplier to cut costs, streamline processes and meet customer service goals.
Real-time view
CDC TradeBeam i-Supply 7.6 is delivered on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. This enables manufactures to give their suppliers real-time visibility into forecasts and inventory status, such as: what is on-hand, has been used, ordered, shipped and received, as well as real-time exception notifications.
The new version extends support to supplier plants that produce and assemble products with lower inventory turns and longer lead times. Typically, these suppliers are located far from the manufacturer, often in the medical device manufacturing industry. Other new features include enhancements in the following key functional areas: order management, low turn goods, forecast history and integration support including Average Daily Use and Forecasted Daily Use and outbound EDI Advance Shipping Notice messaging.
"i-Supply provides manufacturers and their suppliers with improved supply chain visibility. This helps to increase the efficiency of their supply chains, mitigate risks and reduce costs," said William Green, president
