Product Overview and Demo

Background

A typical supply chain in the retail of the Consumer Goods industry thrives on the ability to distribute products to the end consumers effectively and optimally. Distribution Planning, therefore, is a key differentiator of the end to end process, providing several opportunities for enhancing the Reach & product availability, while optimizing the total cost within the supply chain.

The Buyer, at a distribution organization, needs to have the right tool at his/her fingertips to make quick decisions for the effective deployment of goods. The goal will be to honor the supplier contracts, avoid stock-outs across the supply chain, consolidate orders, maximize truckloads and reduce inventory cost.

Solution Overview

Trinamix has developed a PaaS based solution for Distribution Planning, that caters to this specific need. This Workbench allows Planners to consolidate the load based on Vendor Constraints as well as truckload limitations, maximizes the use of resources and leverages the best source for replenishment. It seamlessly integrates with Oracle SCM Cloud and complements the capabilities of Oracle SaaS ecosystem for retail, CPG or Distribution industries.

Trinamix Distribution Workbench extracts the data from Oracle Supply Planning Cloud to extract the plan recommendations. Within the workbench is a highly configurable rules engine that allows planners to specify various criteria to be used for the most efficient replenishment strategy.
