With such useful information, enterprise performance can be closely monitored and appraised for improvement strategies related to the management of inventories, transportation systems and entire distribution networks across your supply chain, from source to consumption.

Performance management solutions from Exactus can help you transform raw data within your enterprise into strategic, actionable information. A single shared view of the business is presented through dashboards, scorecards and analytic applications. Our prepackaged key performance indicators (KPI), analytics, and alerts can help you zero in on the primary drivers behind supply chain processes such as planning, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and returns so that you can analyze and act accordingly to increase your supply chain efficiency and performance against goals over time. Our best-practice analytic applications can help provide guided root-cause analysis across the supply chain to help managers get to the heart of their question. Whether it is reporting, analytical processing or event management, you can easily access and analyze data presented in a business context, slice and dice to see information from any perspective and drill down through detail levels to get to the bottom of what is driving key performance indicators. Alerts and intelligent agents can be provided to notify you of any out-of-line situation when a preset threshold is reached. Based on the particular event, some action can then be taken. For example, an alert could trigger the generation of a purchase order automatically, have it sent via fax or e-mail to the preferred supplier and then notify the purchase manager via SMS or WAP.
