Current Situation
Suppliers and retailers are co-dependent on each other to relay information on capacity, availability, and scheduling with manual intervention often required to resolve issues.
Goals and Objectives
Retailers would have insight into supplier capacity and capabilities to meet their needs as they change through central access to availability, increasingly a requirement of omni-channel endless aisle fulfillment.
Technology Deployed
Cognitive analytics, B2B networks, cloud, and multicloud management
Use Case Summary
Through intelligent communication and scheduling, bottlenecks in distribution and supply would be alleviated before they happened through predictive analytics.
