i-Supply updates

TradeBeam, a provider of SaaS-based global trade management solutions, has made key updates to i-Supply, the TradeBeam collaborative inventory management solution designed to provide manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers with increased visibility into the supply chain.

With support for multiple inventory pull and push replenishment models, i-Supply enhances existing ERP, inventory, logistics, and warehouse management systems by making near real-time information visible via the Web. This results in a more efficient and collaborative supply chain.

The new TradeBeam i-Supply features an enhanced Lean Order Scheduling feature that enables the scheduling of multiple lean orders and pickups per day for as-needed inventory, bringing visibility to carriers and 3PL providers. The information shared between supplier and manufacturer ensures that actions are always based on the same data, which leads to reduced emergency shipments and premium freight charges.

The i-Supply solution graphically displays component inventory status, including onhand, forecast, usage, orders, shipments, and receipts, as well as real-time notification exceptions. An improved dashboard interface delivers a near real-time summary view into inventory, shipping, receiving, and supplier quality ratings. A user can filter, sort, and drill down into forecast demand, supplier capacity, projected inventory, actual usage, authorization history, and critical inventory. The solution also allows customers to monitor inventory of multiple facilities from a single dashboard.
