The phrase "the best supply chain wins" means more now than ever before, as $100 oil forces transportation networks to realign and continued off-shore sourcing hampers supply chain visibility.

Inovis Logistics Support gives operations teams the visibility to key logistics issues by monitoring transactions against business rules, routing guides and service levels.

As an on-demand service, setup is fast, web access is easy and integration to data sources and value-added networks (VANs) is open. And monthly pricing avoids the impact to capital budgets seen with installed software.

Each service is integrated into the Inovis Business Community Management platform, used by over 20,000 companies, and can also work with any third-party VAN or data source.

Three Modules to Choose From:

• Inovis Inbound Logistics is an online service that monitors the inventory receiving process for product sent from suppliers to a distribution center. Logistics managers and distribution center teams can manage exceptions to the receiving process by gaining visibility to issues as they happen, monitoring and validating advance ship notifications (ASN) and orders to track shipment and delivery accuracy.
• Inovis Carrier Support measures various KPI's of an organization's carrier community, providing visibility to exceptions and tracking compliance of trucking partners, third-party logistics (3PL) providers and freight forwarders against business rules and document models. Organizations can save costs by tracking metrics on carrier on-time pickup accuracy, carrier on-time delivery accuracy, carrier invoice quality, load rejection and claims monitoring.
• Inovis Drop-Ship Support is an online service for managing a retailer's "vendor direct" program and managing the supplier community throughout the process. The capabilities help transition a supplier community into a drop-ship model, including: supplier assessment, supplier enablement, supplier certification and ongoing management. As an on-demand service, Inovis Drop-Ship Support makes it easy for a few staff members to manage thousand of suppliers, leveraging self-service web access and configurable workflow to create rollout programs specific to your business.

Inovis Logistics Support can help you to:

• Avoid out-of-stocks caused by missing or late advance ship notifications
• Save overcharges to carrier invoices by uncovering data errors
• Accelerate time-to-market with faster drop-ship program rollouts
