THE OPSVEDA SOLUTION

• Real-time Process View

  Real-time Process View

  OpsVeda – Supply Management combines process steps related data from your supplier systems with data in your ERP and other internal systems. This allows the user to monitor the end to end view of the process at any level – a chosen time-frame, vendor, PO or material. More importantly it allows the user to drill-down from a step that is the cause of an impending exception to downstream steps to estimate the extent of impact and decide on the course of action.

• Predicted Exception based Task List

  Predicted Exception based Task List

  Your procurement team is dealing with thousands of purchase and stock transport orders every day making it difficult to identify the few orders that need their immediate attention. OpsVeda-Supply Management will predict impending exceptions based on current data and past trends . Thus your team will know about an exception well before it disrupts the production floor. It will also prioritize the potential exceptions based on time-lines and value/number of down-steam customer orders impacted. For your procurement team it would be a paradigm shift — manage based on exceptions as opposed to drowning in data.

• Search

  Impact Analysis through Search

  Disruption to a particular activity in the purchasing cycle could have a cascading impact. OpsVeda’s search feature allows the user to assess downstream impact effortlessly . For eg. if it is apparent that a certain material is not going to arrive on time, the logical step would be to assess the production orders that would be impacted and all that the user has to do is to type the material code in the search box.

• Time Travel

  Time Travel

  The time-travel feature helps the manager compare the status of exceptions at different points of time. The comparison can be at the overview level or at the level of an individual exception. Thus, managers have a real-time view of how the team is progressing with resolving exceptions.

• Business Authored Rules

  Business Authored Rules

  OpsVeda provides a user-friendly interface where business users can define rules and exceptions.
