DAMCO LAUNCHES SUPPLY CHAIN INTELLIGENCE SUITE

Data is a key resource in the effective management of a supply chain, from the support that the data provides for forecasting and planning, all the way through to the tracking of deliveries to the end consumer. But, leveraging data to provide actionable insights for both tactical and strategic decision making has always been a key industry challenge.

Damco’s Supply Chain Intelligence solution addresses this challenge by delivering high-level performance indicators that allow customers to gain more detailed insights into their supply chain based on shipping profiles, carrier performance, equipment utilization and supplier performance dashboards. The new platform now gives customers the power to drive supply chain performance through unrivalled, real-time data visualization and intelligent data analytics.

Big data in the supply chain

The volume and accuracy of available supply chain data has increased significantly over the past few years. However, with so much data available, making sense of all this information becomes rather challenging. Fortunately, technology now allows us to transform the increasing mass of data into real, actionable insight and knowledge through interactive web-based dashboards.

Deep industry expertise

The power of the unique Damco-approach resides not only in the visualisation of data, but notably in the intelligence embedded in the representation. Our logistics expertise, build-up over decades working with customers across industrial and geographic sectors, helped us to give our customers the data and dashboards they need to take the right logistics decisions.

Tailored to your needs

Damco’s Supply Chain Intelligence Suite comes with a number of interactive dashboards. The dashboards provide high-level performance indicators and allow for further deep-diving to detailed insights based on shipping profiles, carrier performance, equipment utilization and supplier performance. You can also create your own, customized dashboards, and blend your own data with Damco information.
