Adapting to the Globalized Economy through Supply Chain Management
Recent years have revealed the vulnerabilities of our global shipping infrastructure, emphasizing the critical role of information and transparency in managing supply chains for our channel partners.
Utilizing advanced technology, supply chain intermediaries can establish data warehouses and manage the uninterrupted flow of information and goods. We have incorporated these features into our proprietary program, delivering industry-leading service to our partners and empowering them to excel in the modern business environment.
Virtual Warehousing
The TradeSTAR system allows SFI programs to generate a “Virtual Warehouse” of rolling inventory. Material, tallies and manifests are visible while en-route. This allows production to be more effectively scheduled and actual inventory to be kept in real-time, with delivery dates and visibility of order status in detail down to the unit or SKU. Working with partners, we are able to schedule manufacturing for over 90 days forward while material is sourced domestically or multimodal from overseas. Distribution customers are able to pre-sell material before it is delivered.
