Ultriva Addresses Supply Chain Pain Points in Recent Survey Results

Cupertino, CA, September 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Ultriva, Inc., provider of cloud-based supply chain execution software, announced the results of a recent customer survey on the supply chain pain points. Ultriva specifically addresses the most common pain points as a solution.

One of the biggest areas of costly human error and low productivity is lack of automation (bar coding, scanning). Ultriva’s software increases productivity with near error-free automation.

Another pain point is the Manual Kanban system does not work because it is not scalable and cards are frequently lost. Ultriva’s eKanban technology turns a manual card system into a powerful closed-loop Kanban delivering supplier collaboration, visibility into real-time order flows, as well as shipment and receipt information. Ultriva maintains the visual nature of Kanban while guaranteeing no lost or duplicate cards.

Additionally, there is a lack of real-time visibility into the supply chain. Narayan Laksham, Ultriva’s founder and CEO explained, “The closest any manufacturer can get to the magic bullet is supply chain visibility. Supply chain visibility is needed to achieve manufacturers’ goal of saving money quickly and inexpensively. Ultriva’s approach to supply chain visibility is unique. All partners get access to data in real-time. Visibility to all orders allows suppliers to proactively respond to abnormal fluctuations in demand.”
