Tecsys Inc., a supply chain management software company, unveiled its Visual Metrics Performance Management Suite at the ProMat trade show in Chicago today. The application generates performance analytics and dashboards that allow users to keep a finger on the pulse of variables across a wide of range of supply chain variables.

Users can deploy the suite to manage and balance the dynamic relationship among disparate pieces of the supply chain, including vendors, inventory and planning, warehouse, customers, consumption, distribution and finance. .

Managers can control that flood of information by configuring the system to provide a "buffet of metrics" that is tailored to highlight the most pressing information they need for their precise job description, said Dino Stamatiou, practice leader for business intelligence and analytics, in the company's press conference today.

Customers attach the powerful suite either to Tecsys' warehouse management software or distribution management software foundation, and feed it with data that can be generated from a variety of sources.
