Century Supply Chain Solutions (Century) is a tech-focused global logistics provider trusted by Fortune 100 companies, North American retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers. Its in-house curated supply chain optimization and visibility platform VIZIV revolutionizes PO Management by combining the latest AI-powered supply chain optimization technology capabilities and intuitive user interface with industry leading speed and performance. Leveraging AI and Machine Learning, this solution helps validate critical supply chain data to ensure Century’s customers only see reliable information, empowering their decision making.

We often take for granted how a delivery makes it to our doorsteps. Most consumers only interact with the end stage of the global supply chain. However, a complex global network of ports, warehouses, and transportation modes all need to work together seamlessly to deliver goods to millions of households, businesses, and utilities. When something goes wrong, it can wreak havoc on the delicate global supply chain.

This is where innovative technology enters the picture. Global logistics companies and their customers rely on thousands of data points to fulfill orders. They need visibility on where their POs are throughout their supply chain, specifically where specific items in specific containers are at any given time. Data and analytics are regularly used to proactively identify supply chain chokepoints to prevent logistic breakdowns.

Supply Chain Kinks Spark Change 

Shifting macroeconomic conditions, pandemic-related supply chain disruptions have dogged the global logistics industry for the past three years. Many supply chain professionals at retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers are looking for different supply chain solutions in the hope of addressing and/or preventing the supply chain challenges still fresh in their memories. This is the foundation upon which VIZIV was built, and one of the top priorities was ensuring the platform provided optimal supply chain visibility. They needed a strong analytics solution to bring their valuable supply chain data to life.

For many businesses, there is a drawn-out research and discovery process involved when determining which technology to invest in, but for the team at Century, the choice was clear. They discovered the many capabilities of Logi Symphony by insightsoftware and saw the immediate value it could bring to both Century and its customers.

The key reasons that Century chose Logi are because it offers:

• A rich and highly customizable BI and analytics experience
• Seamless integration with familiar internal tools to reduce education needs
• Ability for Century to provide real-time analytics, so that they can highlight issues for their customers before they happen
