Our go to market approach
for deploying our SCM service line is organized across four
domains: Supply Chain Strategy, eProcurement & B2B
exchanges, eFulfillment and Collaborative Commerce
Techologies.
Supply Chain Strategy
Narvy Consultants, Inc., assits enterprises
adopt Supply Chain Management (SCM) technology at different phases
depending on their strategy and their level of technology adoption
aggressiveness:
-
Enterprises (i.e., technology-driven
enterprises, who are often willing to risk using immature,
cutting-edge technologies to gain a competitive edge) and have
implemented Supply Chain Planning integrated suites (although not
always globally), and are now evaluating or implementing ERP II
SCM and collaborative supply chain technologies.
-
Many large enterprises (i.e.,
moderate technology adopters, which implement new technologies
once they have proved to be useful and have entered the
mainstream) are in the process of evaluating and implementing
Supply Chain Planning integrated suites, which combine demand,
tactical manufacturing, finite capacity and transportation
planning.
-
Enterprises who are technologically
risk-averse and cost-conscious enterprises, who are vary to
adopt new technologies and focussed on implementing niche
solutions and experimenting with SCP integrated suites.
In
order to cater to the varied needs of our clients our Supply Chain
Strategy groups focus on:
-
Determine the Supply Chain Maturity of a client and
recommend a solution based on their unique
requirements.
-
Review new business SCM models with clients (e.g
Network Optimization, eSCM and collaborative planning)
-
Define requirements before evaluating vendor SCM
systems
-
Recognize that more than one vendor may be required
to realize your SCM goals - focus on bringing a best of breed
solution
-
Focus on appropriate implementation time frame,
balancing business and project risk
-
Continually re-evaluate implementations as business
needs change
-
Provide ongoing analysis of ROI and value of SCM
implementation
eProcurement and B2B
exchanges
Inorder to realize procurement
savings, it is essential for companies to have a unifying
procurement solution to help capture and reconcile all spend. For
businesses to successfully manage and leverage all spend categories,
users should have the capability of buying both basic and complex
configurable products and services directly from approved suppliers.
Successful procurement hinges on accelerated user and supplier
adoption. Using tools from leading
vendors such as Ariba, Commerce One and SAP Markets, we help
clients adapt prominent eProcurement
solutions.
We enable our clients to harness the power of
B2B exchanges or eMarkets. In the new on-line world, we believe that
eMarkets will play a key role in bringing the benefits of eCommerce
to companies of all sizes. When properly positioned, these eMarket
solutions companies can add considerable value in setting up
eMarketplaces and/or information hubs, in aggregating buyers,
sellers, content and services, in managing relationships, and
meeting the changing requirements of various industries and
company-specific value chains. In practice, B2B eCommerce can be
applied to a variety of business functions/areas that will benefit
from transitioning from traditional business processes that were
slow, inefficient, and expensive to eBusiness processes that are
real-time, efficient and more cost-effective. We assist our clients
through different deployment phases of eMarkets, namely Design,
Integrate & Particiapte and Operate
eMarkets.
Fullfillment Operations
The
critical elements required to transform an enterprise's manually
based fulfillment process into an integrated multichannel electronic
fulfillment process are the same whether the enterprise deals with
consumers or business clients. Almost 40 percent of the cost of
selling online is incurred during the fulfillment process — i.e.,
during payment processing, order fulfillment, and pick, pack and
ship. If these elements are not handled efficiently, effectively and
reliably, then mistakes happen, costs are driven out of the
competitive zone and customer relationships break down. Our
fullfillment professionals deploy best of breed Payment processing,
order fulfillment and product shipping solutions. Using tools from leading vendors such as Cayenta and
Yantra we help clients adapt prominent Fullfillment
solutions to satisfy our clients and thier
customers needs.
Collaborative Commerce
Technologies
Collaboration in product design, supply
planning and procurement offers manufacturers top-line improvement
with new product opportunities and accelerated times to market.
While collaborative efficiencies in production and distribution
logistics can drive bottom-line results, collaboration also
facilitates responsive manufacturing where goods are made to
customers' orders and new levels of service are achieved. The need
to address the full scope of collaboration in support of e-business
processes is supported by Narvy Consultants, Inc., although
current products are still limited. Our current focus lays on
deploying the best-of-breed Collaborative Product development,
Collaborative Planning and Forecasting utilizing tools such as
Agile, MatrixOne and PTC
Within the supply chain, interpersonal
collaboration is so far emerging most strongly in support of design
functions, inherently a collaborative activity, and is the most
mature of the outward-facing SCM processes (e.g., design, demand
planning, vendor-managed
inventory).
