Capability to easily switch trading partners if required flexibility to deal with unforeseen issues Pro-active alerts to supply chain issues ability to better handle unforeseen interruptions Better predictability results in leaner operation
Supply Chain Visibility - Example Issue A global ocean carrier suddenly falls into bankruptcy protection and no ports will allow their vessels to dock. Action By leveraging a GTM Supply Chain Visibility solution, the stranded inventory can be quickly identified and alternate plans can be made.
GTM Solution Supplier Collaboration What? A software platform which centralizes supplier supply chain information and communication as well as automates the execution of sell-side transactions to the global consumer market How?

Faster communication between buyer and supplier Collaboration with 3rd party testing companies Speed to market for new products critical for retail Detailed total landed cost information to consumers happier customers
Cross-Border e-commerce - Example Issue It takes too long for a fast fashion retailer to coordinate the buying process with their suppliers. They are constantly struggling to get the product from design to store before the fashion cycle changes once again. Action A GTM solution can streamline the process by centralizing the critical supply chain information including product specifications, work-in-progress events, and testing results. The overall cycle from design-to-store is reduced by 50%.
