The First 100 Percent Cloud-based Supply Chain Execution Convergence Solution is Here

Today’s market place is being driven by giving consumers what they want as soon as possible. This has resulted in companies establishing distribution points across a wider geographical area to better anticipate consumer demand. With international companies sourcing and selling their products globally, effective supply chain executions plays a very important role to ensure the availability of the items that are being sold. This has increased the value of real-time information, and cloud technology is being used to bring these data points together. A new integration of two solutions is creating the industry’s first 100 percent cloud-based supply chain execution convergence solution to address the current environment.

LogFire, a cloud-based provider of supply chain fulfillment solutions, is integrating its Warehouse Management System (WMS) with Oracle (News - Alert) Transportation Management to create the cloud solution. This will connect networks in real time so companies can lower fulfillment cost and increase the speed in which transactions are processed.

The WMS and Transportation Management System (TMS) will provide best-of-breed functionality all delivered through the cloud to ensure availability at all times.

End users will see benefits across the board, including:

• Digital fulfillment network – Manage, track and visualize inventory across fulfillment centers, 3PLs, store shelves and inventory in-transit with real-time data.
• Improved supply chain – Move from a flat supply chain approach to a multi-dimensional network approach. The cloud provides a real network approach, driven by real-time data, allowing organizations to adapt to ever-changing marketplace conditions.
• Focus on business – Convert resources allocated to supporting your supply chain technology stack to revenue-generating resources focused on sales growth, cash flow and margin improvement.

“The ability to implement and scale quickly through cloud solutions helps them better compete in a marketplace that changes daily. The LogFire and Oracle Transportation Management Cloud solution is the first of its kind to provide comprehensive WMS and TMS capabilities that are now required in the marketplace,” said Diego Pantoja-Navajas, founder and CEO of LogFire.

The LogFire cloud-based solutions for warehouse and inventory management systems is designed to cost effectively build a multi-tenant infrastructure with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) pricing model. This allows customers to focus on their business knowing they can scale at any time while receiving 24/7 support without worrying about upgrades, security and annual maintenance fees.

While traditional distribution centers were able to supply retailers without too many hiccups, Ecommerce and online retailers have completely changed the model. The availability of real-time information is just as valuable as warehousing and distribution, which is what the new cloud-based supply chain execution convergence solution from LogFire and Oracle provides.
