EBI and Quartet FS Partnership Delivers Enterprise-Wide Analytics for Supply Chain Decision-Making

ActivePivot’s in-memory analytics enables instant insight into complex and dynamic data across silos and numerous data sources for end-to-end supply chain visibility.

Singapore, Singapore, July 12, 2013 --(PR.com)-- EBI Consultancy, the provider of high quality supply chain and management consulting services, and Quartet FS today announced their partnership to deliver end-to-end, real-time analytics across departmental silos and numerous data sources in the supply chain. The partnership will enable companies to use Quartet FS’ ActivePivot solution to optimise efficiency and visibility and make complex supply chain decisions. ActivePivot can link and aggregate existing heterogeneous data sources in real-time, including ERPs, CRM, TMS, WMS and inventory management systems.

For multinational companies, access to the right supply chain data at the right time is vital. This must cover numerous business areas, including sales, inventory, productivity, transport and distributors, and span multiple regions. While many companies are able to cope with real-time data within individual silos, consolidating data from multiple sources into a single enterprise-wide view poses a major challenge.

ActivePivot enables the instant and multi-dimensional analysis of large volumes of disparate, complex and dynamic data for timely business decisions. As an open component, ActivePivot fits within existing operational systems. It aggregates data from heterogeneous sources on the fly, continuously processes new events and passes updated results instantly to users and other downstream services. With ActivePivot, users can identify outliers, simulate the impact of their decisions, run what-if scenarios, and compare costs and variables from different internal and external data sets.

As a result, supply chain managers can review and adapt their supply chain, plan ahead and make informed decisions based on a holistic understanding of operations and the latest information. In addition, logistics service providers will have real-time visibility on deliveries, goods in transit, and inventories so they can prevent issues from arising and plan for alternative delivery scenarios to serve their customers better.

Jan-Willem Adrian, managing director at EBI Consultancy, comments: “In the supply chain, the key to business success is having full visibility across the company, being able to conduct predictive analysis and planning for disaster recovery. However, silos and having a multitude of systems with multiple data sources pose a major hurdle for our clients as they often prevent companies from making decisions based on a complete view. This is an ongoing issue, which is why we have chosen to partner with Quartet FS and bring ActivePivot to the supply chain market. We believe ActivePivot is an essential tool for our customers, allowing them to create end-to-end supply chain visibility, reduce supply chain risk and better plan for the future.”

Georges Bory, managing director and co-founder of Quartet FS, adds: “We’ve seen lately that supply chain companies face a similar dilemma as the financial services, a market where ActivePivot is already widely deployed. They have multiple data sources in different formats, which must be consolidated so the business can make proactive decisions. One example is a European-based logistics service provider, which is deploying ActivePivot as the control tower for its real-time outbound transportation process and to measure the impact of disruptive events on service level agreements. This new partnership will accelerate our momentum in the market by combining EBI’s expertise and experience in managing supply chain projects with the visibility offered through ActivePivot.”
