Steelwedge Improves Supply Chain Decisions by Integrating Zyme Channel Data Management

Steelwedge announced today that it has integrated Zyme's Channel Data Management into its PlanStreaming platform. Zyme's channel intelligence and management capabilities now combine with direct sales forecasts entered into PlanStreaming through Steelwedge's SalesSightTM app for Salesforce to feed a comprehensive view of both direct and indirect market dynamics into demand, supply and sales planning solutions.

Now supply chain teams can make decisions based on real-time, fully informed perspectives of demand and the inventory positions to serve it. Sales teams who manage the channel can directly impact service levels by ensuring supply chain teams automatically have real-time downstream visibility to channel demand and inventory so that the right inventory gets to the right distributors, resellers, retailers and e-tailers at the right time. Sales teams, planners, supply chain teams and executives can access this information directly through salesforce or through PlanStreaming, making the user experience simple and accessible.

Zyme will demonstrate the integrated solution at Dreamforce 2016 October 4 - 7 in booth N2118 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Steelwedge executives also will be available for discussions at the show and at a cocktail party co-hosted with Zyme on from 6: 00 p.m. - 10: 30 p.m. Thursday, October 6 on The Terrace at The St. Regis Hotel, 125 3rd Street, San Francisco.

"A clear Steelwedge advantage has always been the fluidity with which we connect sales and supply chain teams for smarter planning and superior outcomes," said Dhruv Bansal, VP Product Management at Steelwedge. "Our partnership with Zyme makes it possible for supply chain teams to stay on top of market dynamics influenced by distributors, resellers, retailers and e-tailers involved in their companies' ecosystems so they can better plan for and optimize inventory positions down to the item and store level. We make these capabilities accessible through salesforce to foster adoption and further strengthen the relationship between sales and supply chain teams," he added.

Zyme has a channel directory of more than 1.5 million partners and processes more than one billion transactions annually across more than 150 countries, providing decision-grade intelligence to optimize business processes such as sales execution, inventory management, partner rebates and incentives, marketing and financial compliance.

Integrating these capabilities with PlanStreaming makes it easy for decision makers to synthesize sales and supply chain decisions, such as pinpointing market opportunities by channel and product line (including at granular details such as SKU, store locations and end-user customers) and rapidly executing actions to correct imbalances between inventory and demand.
