InformationOperational Consulting
Companies able to align robust information technology with optimized operational processes are often able to gain substantial advantages over competitors beset by siloed functions, sub-optimal data and inefficient business processes.
Collaborative helps organizations optimize the flow of product and data by improving business processes, operational performance and data infrastructure. We use a pragmatic approach coupled with hands-on, industry expertise in technology, data synchronization and logistics operations, allowing organizations to determine the business processes and enabling technology to achieve the shortest time-to-benefit cycle possible.
Our comprehensive set of Operational Consulting services includes:
- Supply Chain Assessment
- Operational Benchmarking
- Logistics Outsourcing Optimization
- Vendor Application Selection
- KPI Visibility
- Logistics Portals.
Our practical methodologies assess clients’ operations, addressing limitations and opportunities for improvement. Our services help companies:
- Gain visibility and access into information. Use performance measurement techniques and key performance indicators to create business intelligence metrics, allowing executives to make informed decisions.
- Synchronize data and manage logistics costs. Optimize the order fulfillment life cycle by preventing buildup of excessive inventory, reducing supply variability, and avoiding the costs and performance issues that result from increased global commerce and escalating logistical constraints.
- Improve business processes. Identify areas of opportunity in the order fulfillment life cycle to improve customer responsiveness and reduce costs. Implement BPM to extend applications beyond the enterprise. Doing so optimizes event management and visibility by infusing role-based workflow and path-to-resolution capability into the extended supply chain. Companies may also improve asset management by integrating asset tagging and workflow.
- Improve supply chain execution. Optimize logistics, material flow and transportation operations. For example, optimize cost and service levels by choosing the right product package vendor or optimizing your network with the right distribution centers and carriers.
- Integrate the supply chain with customers and suppliers. Blend data management with logistics solutions to manage shorter lead times, instill collaborative replenishment (CPFR) and reduce operational costs.
- Identify best practices through third-party solutions. Focus on what you do best and achieve significantly improved service levels by leveraging third-party applications or logistics outsourcing.
Collaborative’s approach highlights an organization’s requirements, precisely and quickly, enabling fast and targeted implementation of leading-edge solutions.
