Long considered a necessary evil, the supply chain has become the crucial link for companies to satisfy their customers and optimize their procurement costs . Indeed, numerous studies on the challenges of the supply chain consistently highlight the need for stakeholders to anticipate potential disruptions. Changes in delivery dates or prices, quality defects, production delays, or raw material shortages are all reasons why initial objectives may not be met.
In the textile industry, the supply chain is a complex process to organize and manage because it involves many different stakeholders, across different time zones and over relatively long periods. Real-time supply chain allows for the streamlining of the organization and management of supplies.
It relies on both an organization and collaborative tools capable of involving every actor in the supply chain. Maximum efficiency is achieved when each person is informed in real time, without even having to specifically request the information they need, enabling them to react and adapt.
The implementation of a Supply Chain Management is based on two postulates:
With over 16 years of experience supporting our fashion and luxury clients in managing their outsourced supply chain, e-SCM now offers integrated management tools to control and monitor this activity. Through simple, customizable, and intuitive dashboards, the supply chain manager now has a central control center to observe, measure, and act on their supply chain. In real time, they can identify production issues and contact their supplier to understand the situation and, if necessary, address the problem. Similarly, they will have tools to ensure that all quality controls are carried out on time and can therefore intervene with their contacts to take the necessary steps to comply with their specifications .
The procurement specialist no longer reacts to events but becomes an active participant in the supply chain , setting the pace that enables the company to deliver to its customers on time. They now focus on high-value tasks that are true drivers of performance.
At the same time, other stakeholders in the supply chain will also have access to information enabling them to take appropriate action to achieve their objectives. Naturally, these indicators are specifically designed for them and tailored to their needs. For example, if a supplier hasn't received the raw materials to begin production, they are alerted on their homepage and can contact the client.
The e-SCM solution has now established itself as a benchmark for supply chain management. Our clients' feedback proves it!
e-SCM, with its comprehensive suite of customizable tools and user-friendly interface, empowers users to make the right decisions at the right time. Increased visibility across all stages provides greater flexibility and transforms this key step into a driver of company success.
