Collect your Data

Mulesoft is your solution for harnessing the full potential of data. It seamlessly collects and organizes scattered information, converting it into valuable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and services. This includes data from various software sources like inventory systems, material databases, and order histories. You not only gather data but also make it accessible to partners, suppliers, and customers, providing real-time insights into inventory data. The KPIs service this data into Supply Intelligence.

What does Supply Intelligence do?

Supply Chain is a turnkey dashboard that will help you navigate supply crises skillfully and act on competitive advantage before. With this robust tool, you can:

• Measure the impact of crises

‍

Supply Intelligence gives you an overview in two major perspectives:

‍

1. Sales Perspective: How well do you cater to customer demands?

2. Supply Chain Resilience Perspective: The resilience of supply chain is measured around five key pillars:

‍

a. Supply versus Demand Reliability: Are you consistently meeting customer demands?

b. Inflation Impact: How exposed is your company to inflation?

c. Logistic Resilience: Can you reliably deliver products on time?

d. Quality Resilience: Do you encounter quality problems with product returns?

e. Inventory Resilience: Is your stock sufficient to meet demands effectively?
