Supply Chain

The supply chain industry orchestrates how materials, information, and cash flow from suppliers to factories to warehouses to customers—and back through returns and refurbishment. It spans sourcing and procurement, production planning (MRP), inventory and demand planning, warehousing (WMS), transportation and last-mile (TMS), order management (OMS), trade compliance, and after-sales service. Networks cross road/rail/air/ocean, multiple tiers of suppliers and carriers, and a stack of systems—ERP, WMS/TMS, PLM, EDI/API hubs, and analytics. Because every node depends on the next, small delays ripple into stockouts, excess working capital, missed OTIF (on-time/in-full), and unhappy customers.

Supply chains matter because they convert demand into delivery and margin. Strong chains increase service levels, cut lead-time variability, and reduce logistics costs; they free up working capital by right-sizing safety stock and boost sustainability by optimizing miles and loads. In regulated markets, accurate documentation and traceability prevent penalties and protect brand trust. The scoreboard is concrete: OTIF, fill rate, forecast accuracy (MAPE), inventory turns, dwell time, damage/shortage rates, cost-to-serve, and even CO₂e per order.

Ektasi Technology helps you turn this complexity into a measurable operating system. We start with discovery to map your network, data flows, and constraints, then design a reference architecture that connects the core: ERP ↔ WMS ↔ TMS ↔ OMS ↔ marketplaces/partners via EDI/X12/EDIFACT and modern APIs. We implement a real-time control tower for end-to-end visibility and exception management (delays, shortages, temperature excursions), with alerts that route to the right teams. On planning, we deploy demand forecasting and inventory optimization to tune safety stock and reorder policies; on execution, we enable slotting, wave/pick/pack, ASN and barcode flows, carrier selection, route optimization, freight audit & pay, and returns/RMA workflows. For manufacturers and distributors, we add S&OP support, production scheduling interfaces, and network design scenarios to test where inventory and capacity should live.
