Business Intelligence and Analytics Solutions
Leading data-driven enterprises know the value of analytics solutions that give them insight into every level of their supply chains. When it comes to keeping the supply chain running in the most efficient, effective way possible, organizations depend on the information they derive from their data in order to track a number of important factors, including:
- Vendor financial stability
- Environmental issues that may cause some parts of the supply chain distress (e.g., tornadoes or earthquakes)
- Market statistics that drive consumer and corporate demand
All of these variables need to be tracked in order for operations to flow smoothly and organizations to be successful with their supply chain operations. For this reason, it’s critical to have analytics solutions in place in order to create real, actionable information from the data you’ve gathered. But where do you go to get these tools, and how do you use them to support the most effective use of this information?
In the software industry, the “buy vs. build” question is common. Do you buy pre-packaged tools, or do you build custom-tailored solutions that will truly be the best for your needs? Sometimes, it may seem like buying solutions is the best course of action
At Inspirage, we’re here to help you realize the full benefit of your analytics solutions. The main advantage of having Inspirage as a Business Intelligence and Analytics partner is that we can help you make the most out of your analytics tools. We can help you parse through the mountains of data collected in order to give you access to the information you need the most – the details that will support your supply chain and create meaning for your operations.
Our analytics experts are here to help you develop that custom-made solution, but we’re also here to make sure you’re using your pre-packaged tools in a way that will bring the most optimal value to your supply chain. Using our industry-based solutions and custom services, we’ll get you to where you need to be.
