But that’s just the beginning of supply chain management, and it’s not enough for operations and success in today’s global world. We would never settle for anything less than comprehensive support for your business.
That’s our starting point: IntelliChains defines its nature as a real “end-to-end” system not as an objective but as a precondition. That’s how we switch on the light for your supply chain. At various levels.

It’s a question of definition: where your processes start and where they end.
Where do you start monitoring your processes? “Arrival of goods” at DC? “Pick up” at the manufacturer? Quality control? Once you have defined a starting point, it’s easy to talk of end-to-end. But isn’t there always an earlier stage? What about production planning? Or what about the sourcing process of your n-tier suppliers?

On the other hand, when do you stop monitoring? Outgoing at DC? POD? Why not include outlet data like “booked on shelf,” “on promotion” or simply “sold”? But this is not a limit, is it? All the data collected throughout the process is a valuable source for the next cycle—the most valuable one you have.
So there is no end-to-end process. That’s where IntelliChains starts. Enabling this periodic view into your processes will lead you to the next level of supply chain management.
