How Syncrofy Integration Cloud (SIC) Solves: Lack of Visibility

By: Brandon Shores | July 31st, 2024
Let’s face it, the efficiency and reliability of your supply chain can make or break your business.

As you strive to meet increasing customer demands and navigate complex logistics, supply chain visibility has become more crucial than ever.

Understanding the flow of goods, information, and finances across your supply chain is essential for maintaining competitiveness and achieving operational efficiency–especially when it comes to B2B integration.

At CoEnterprise, we’ve developed a revolutionary new offering called Syncrofy Integration Cloud (SIC). It’s a game-changing managed service alternative that will redefine your on-premise EDI/B2B operations, replace your existing solution, and help you avoid costly supply chain issues. 

In part three of our series, we’ll examine what you can expect to gain by having effective supply chain visibility, why it’s so critical in B2B integration, and how SIC can help you achieve it.

Improved inventory management

Effective inventory management is critical to reducing costs and meeting customer demand. Supply chain visibility allows you to track inventory levels in real-time across multiple locations. This real-time data helps prevent stockouts and overstock situations to optimize inventory levels and reduce carrying costs. With accurate inventory information, you’re able to implement just-in-time (JIT) inventory practices to improve cash flow and reduce waste.

SIC leverages Syncrofy, “The AI-Enabled Supply Chain Platform,” to deliver the visibility you need to to see everything that happens after placing an order and know exactly when it will arrive in your warehouse via exceptions and in-app notifications. With that kind of confidence, you no longer have to increase safety stock and excess inventory.

According to Invesp, companies with supply chain visibility have 15% lower supply chain costs, 50% less inventory holding, and 3 times faster cash-to-cash cycles.

 

Enhanced collaboration and communication

Supply chain visibility facilitates better collaboration and communication between you and your business partners. By providing a shared view of the supply chain, you’re able to align your operations, reduce discrepancies, and streamline processes. This transparency helps in coordinating activities such as order fulfillment, inventory management, and transportation, ensuring that everyone is on the same page. This leads to faster decision-making and a more agile supply chain that can quickly respond to market changes and customer needs. 

SIC and Syncrofy work within your pre-existing architecture to ingest your data from a variety of platforms, eliminating the need for multiple systems, centralizing supply chain visibility to a single tool that can be used by even non-technical personnel. If the way your company organizes data makes it difficult to find information quickly and achieve cross-departmental communication, SIC can change all that.


Improved efficiency and reduced costs

Supply chain visibility allows you to identify inefficiencies and areas for cost reduction. By analyzing data on transportation, warehousing, and production, you can optimize operations and eliminate waste. For example, route optimization in transportation can reduce fuel costs and delivery times, while better demand forecasting can minimize excess inventory. These efficiency gains translate into significant cost savings and improved profitability. 

SIC and Syncrofy provide complete, real-time visibility so you can have full insight into your open orders, track delivery performance, manage inventory, and identify trends. You’ll also be able to leverage a single version of the truth that will allow you to increase efficiency, identify data discrepancies, and prevent costly chargebacks before they occur.


Better-informed, data-driven decision making

In the era of big data, making informed decisions is a key competitive advantage. Supply chain visibility provides access to vast amounts of data that can be analyzed to gain valuable insights. Advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms can uncover patterns and trends to help you make confident, data-driven decisions. Whether it’s optimizing inventory levels, selecting the best suppliers, or predicting demand, data-driven decision making leads to better outcomes and a more resilient supply chain.

Syncrofy predictive ship dates

Combined with Syncrofy’s AI-powered capabilities, SIC can accurately forecast shipment timelines. This means you can anticipate when shipments will arrive, allowing for better planning and decision-making across your supply chain.


Enhanced customer satisfaction

In the B2B landscape, customer expectations are higher than ever. Your clients demand timely deliveries, accurate order fulfillment, and real-time updates on their orders. Supply chain visibility ensures that you can meet these expectations by providing precise and timely information. With full visibility, you’re able to track orders from production to delivery, keeping your customers informed at every stage. This transparency builds trust and enhances customer satisfaction to create stronger business relationships and repeat business.

SIC and Syncrofy help facilitate on-time payments and shipments leading to better-informed decisions. That means happier customers who are satisfied doing business with you—up to 65% happier.


Visibility is no longer an option

Supply chain visibility is not just a buzzword, it’s a critical component of B2B integration that drives collaboration, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. By providing a comprehensive view of the supply chain, you can manage inventory more effectively, mitigate risks, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with regulations. Visibility is the key to maintaining a competitive edge and achieving long-term success. Embracing supply chain visibility technologies and practices is no longer optional but a necessity to thrive in the modern market.
