Purchase Order Event Management Overview

<Executive summary of business justification(s), business objective(s), high level project deliverables, project vision, all stakeholders, etc..>

Business Objectives

The need for management information – context

Management information is at the heart of any business that strives for continuous improvement. The principal benefits are that the provision of the right information not simply data:

  • Ensures that activity is linked to outcome;
  • Effort is focused upon needs of customers;
  • The management perspective migrates from providing excuses to delivering results;
  • Makes performance a culture of continuous process, instead of occasional ‘snapshots’;
  • Promotes communication and collaboration.

CyberTrax™ Purchase Order Event Management – overview and benefits

For CyberTrax™ customers, POEM is designed as a web-based platform that provides management tools and visibility of Supplier PO Events and milestones, from the PO Issued date, to the creation of an ASN. There are several benefits:

  • Elimination of redundant data entry, built in documentation (pallet labels, shipping instructions, Proforma Invoices and Packing Lists), Embedded regulatory compliance tools and exception reporting will improve and streamline the overall processes, and provide centralized visibility and automated event management efficiencies across global inbound supply chain stake holder groups;
  • Delivery of performance data and BI will support a continuous cycle of improvement within a company’s planning, purchasing, and transportation (inbound Supply Chain) groups;
  • Reliability and predictability of inbound supply chain events and improved regulatory compliance management tools, along with improved expectation management.

CyberTrax™ Purchase Order Event Management – interface

POEM will be designed to provide the same intuitive user experience associated with the Jaguar Freight Services brand, and will be fully integrated with other CyberChain™ solutions (Cybertrax™, ASN Portal™). POEM is a User Interface providing various users with customizable access types (visibility, edit) for the viewing, monitoring, updating and reporting on Supplier Purchase Orders. POEM facilitates a number of functionalities, principally as it relates to managing Purchase Order Events, and provides a centralized, cloud based process, communication and management solution. In line with Cybertrax™, flexibility, customization and scalability underpin POEM’s architecture.
