Manufacturing & Distribution
With cut-throat competition and low margins, supply chains
are becoming more complex and desire the flexibility to provide
new and innovative mechanisms to meet customer demands while
also reduce costs. Add to that the diverse and increasingly
stringent environmental and safety regulations which differ
across the globe and require sophisticated management of internal
processes. Ever present cost pressures require faster time to
market with higher floor productivity.
What's the best way to heighten visibility across all your
entire supply chain, including visibility into your supply partners’
operations? If your product life cycle isn't sufficiently competitive,
what's your approach to developing a plan for shrinking the
production cycle? How do you meet the increasing customer expectations,
while meeting internal cost and control imperatives? How do
you automate internal processes to cut-down costs and scale
your operations? How do you monitor your inventory levels and
maintain them at optimal levels without affecting your fulfillment
capabilities?

Integrated Order Procurement
With the advent of more secure and faster order procurement
mechanisms supply chain vendors need to be prepared and be able
to quickly adapt and implement them. They must possess the capability
to quickly “turn on” a customer, adopt their procurement
methods and provide complete visibility and response within
a matter of hours, some times even minutes.
OSG understands the needs of this sector and has developed
comprehensive platform based solutions that implement procurement
through multiple channels. Be it through Supplier Networks (like
Ariba, CommerceOne etc.), EDI, XML, Web, email, IVR or custom
point-to-point mechanisms we have built procurement platforms
that funnel all these channels directly to our customer’s
systems and send back appropriately generated responses. Our
solutions implement customer-specific requirements, if any.

Business monitoring, health check and planning
With automation and integrated platforms, supply chain providers
need the ability to be able to manage and monitor the flow of
transactions through their system. They should be able to maintain
a dashboard of business intelligence reports that give them
the business status. They should also be able to get consolidate
planning and “what if” reports that guide them through
decision making and future planning.
OSG’s BI discipline for the supply chain sector has
years of experience working with CxOs and high level management
to help them identify bottlenecks and nodes to optimize their
systems. Our expert business analysts teamed with reporting
gurus have created reports and BI views that have saved millions
of dollars for our customers. Starting from identification of
exceptions, asset allocation and planning, inventory level management
to financial reporting our team has provided solutions and lived
through industry best practices.
Third-party / service provider integration
Businesses of varied sizes rely on service providers and leverage
their capabilities to accomplish their tasks. This is especially
applicable to the supply chain sector where businesses have
to interact with third-party providers be it shipment carriers,
financial / payment gateways, banks or others. The choice of
service provider is not necessarily determined by their technical
compatibility with internal systems even though that does play
a significant role.
With its global expertise in providing solutions across multiple
platforms, OSG understands the business need and has provided
seamless yet secure integration with third party providers.
We understand for e.g. that even though shipments are carried
by a third-party provider supply-chain customers demand immediate
shipment tracking through the vendor’s system. We have
implemented successful solutions for our customers that integrate
and collaborate with third-party provider’s platforms
whereby maintaining the free flow of information. Conversely,
our solutions have automated business processes through secure
and standards based integration with such providers.
