When you increase supply chain visibility in your business, you\u2019re taking an important step towards reducing errors, controlling costs and managing your inventory for overall improved customer satisfaction. Maintaining good supply chain visibility is an integral part of supply chain management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more complex a supply chain becomes, the more critical end-to-end visibility becomes. As more business functions become outsourced to companies around the world and customer expectations rise for speed and transparency in the products they buy, the modern supply chain has never been more complex.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, with nearly all pain points, the opportunity is often hidden inside. The breadth and depth of a company\u2019s visibility of its supply chain network have created an avenue for shippers and logistics service providers&nbsp;(LSP) to respond more nimbly to rapidly changing customer demands and conditions. In short, good supply chain visibility solutions allow managers to implement streamlined supply chain processes and quickly deal with supply chain disruptions before they cause major issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll define supply chain visibility and discuss key elements to consider as you seek to increase supply chain visibility and get the most ROI out of your visibility efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#importance\" data-level=\"2\">Why is Supply Chain Visibility Important?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#benefits\" data-level=\"2\">7 Benefits of Supply Chain Visibility<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#how-to\" data-level=\"2\">How to Improve End-to-End Visibility Across the Order Lifecycle<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#stage1\" data-level=\"3\">Stage 1: Visibility in the Order Stage<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#stage2\" data-level=\"3\">Stage 2: Visibility in the In-Transit Stage<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#stage3\" data-level=\"3\">Stage 3: Visibility in the Payment and Invoice Audit Stage<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-common-challenges-to-achieving-full-supply-chain-visibility\" data-level=\"2\">Common Challenges to Achieving Full Supply Chain Visibility<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-technologies-that-enable-end-to-end-visibility\" data-level=\"2\">Technologies That Enable End-to-End Visibility<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-measuring-success-kpis-for-supply-chain-visibility\" data-level=\"2\">Measuring Success: KPIs for Supply Chain Visibility<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#conclusion\" data-level=\"2\">How enVista Can Help<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"importance\">Why is Supply Chain Visibility Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Supply chain visibility is important because it helps reduce errors and ensure a company can make and keep its promise to its customers.

So, the challenge\u00a0with supply chain visibility is not whether to dedicate resources, but\u00a0<em>where and how much<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to\">How to Improve End-to-End Visibility Across the Order Lifecycle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simplistically, supply chain visibility can be broken\u00a0down into three different stages and three levels of magnitude within each stage.\u00a0In reality, the\u00a0picture is not so clear, and there are times when a certain situation does not fit so cleanly into a specific stage or level of magnitude.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding where to invest first for the greatest ROI, consider three stages of visibility as they occur during a shipment\u2019s life cycle. First is the order stage when a specific quantity of a product is requested. Next is the in-transit stage which represents the physical movement of the items. Last is the invoice and audit stage, which is where&nbsp;the transaction among buyers, sellers and contracted LSPs is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within each of these stages, the level of visibility is determined by how an organisation executes that task.\u00a0In order of increasing the \u201cfield of view,\u201d\u00a0they can be completed three ways:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Manually (through spreadsheets, emails and phone calls)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatically (by system events entered by the user)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrated Approach (messages and information exchanged by independent but connected systems and supply chain visibility software)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage1\">Stage 1: Visibility in the Order Stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before any product is created,&nbsp;it must be&nbsp;considered as&nbsp;an item entering the supply chain virtually, when it is \u201cordered\u201d&nbsp;from buyer to seller.&nbsp;Typically dictated by a purchase order, the item has a real impact on inventory levels and therefore&nbsp;the bottom line on both the buyer and the seller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manual Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the lowest level&nbsp;of&nbsp;visibility&nbsp;and can create headaches for all parties involved, as it may require manually matching a purchase order to a sales order through spreadsheets containing hundreds of thousands of lines of data with no guarantee of accuracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Updates regarding freight ready date to customers and LSPs are typically pulled&nbsp;rather than pushed out.&nbsp;This puts all involved in a reactive state and creates a situation fraught with frustration, delays and unnecessary costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Automatic Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automatic execution may be done through a sales order or purchasing system, either built in-house or purchased off the shelf.&nbsp;Rather than relying solely on emails and spreadsheets, these supply chain visibility software systems have a more deliberate approach to capturing and transmitting data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can match a specific order with their purchase order\/sales order and confirm the quantity, and LSPs and customers can receive freight-ready dates, giving decision makers the ability to make some adjustments if necessary. Schedule changes can be pushed from the system to relevant contacts when details are updated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automatic execution is still subject to human errors in data processing and entering, and a lack of integration with downstream or upstream systems limits visibility to just the order stage in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integrated Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An integrated approach, like the automatic approach, has an organised method for collecting and transmitting data.\u00a0It captures order data, freight details and product-ready dates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going beyond automatic, integrated users from different departments&nbsp;have visibility to all relevant data, giving stakeholders the ability to make swift changes if required.&nbsp;Furthermore, integration allows relevant LSPs to get involved sooner, giving them the ability to plan the movement of the freight in advance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An integrated environment greatly reduces the number of touch points and creates an organized workflow for individuals to perform the most important tasks first.&nbsp;An integrated approach may be accomplished by an&nbsp;OMS or TMS \u2013&nbsp;or more likely a combination of both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integrated approach is the only method that sets an organisation up for true end-to-end visibility, actively working downstream with both the in-transit and\u00a0freight invoice audit\u00a0stages that follow.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage2\">Stage 2: Visibility in the In-Transit Stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the product hits the warehouse floor, it\u2019s ready to be moved. This can be carried out by&nbsp;truck, rail, air, ocean or a combination of modes.&nbsp;Transportation is one of the highest costs associated with a product. It\u2019s also subject to market pricing swings that can drastically affect the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Manual Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visibility during this stage in a manual environment relies on operators exchanging phone calls and emails with carriers and relaying this information to the relevant parties.&nbsp;This is a time-consuming and reactive process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phone calls and emails&nbsp;are only good for providing information and aren\u2019t actionable, offering little room for decision-makers to adjust accordingly.&nbsp;Manually executing visibility to in-transit shipments exposes&nbsp;shippers and LSPs to avoidable costs such as detention or&nbsp;demurrage, which must be passed along to the customer or written off by one of the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Automated Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visibility to&nbsp;the&nbsp;supply chain in an automated environment likely still relies on some emails and phone calls. However, using a TMS, those actions can be recorded to create usable data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an automatic environment, organisations have access to historical data, such as transit times, the volume of freight moving and transportation modes.\u00a0These datasets\u00a0can be used to make decisions such as how to staff warehouses appropriately, which lanes present the most challenges and whether it\u2019s time to consider switching to a quicker mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While visibility into the past is much more robust than in a manual environment, this siloed TMS&nbsp;lacks agility in making quick decisions on shipments&nbsp;actually&nbsp;in&nbsp;transit.&nbsp;Shipments in transit are still subject to the same delays and costs associated with manual tracking.&nbsp;Updates can be pushed out from the system but still rely on a human at the other end to receive and process this information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integrated Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integrated approach leverages the benefits of an automated environment and builds on them to enable organisations to adjust shipments in transit much easier with real time visibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the center of an integrated approach is a fully implemented and integrated TMS.

A single shipment may have several invoices associated with it, all being sent at different times. Without upstream visibility,\u00a0pairing invoices quickly becomes an extremely fractured task that ties up too many internal resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Automatic Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automating the freight invoice and auditing phase is typically done through&nbsp;an on-premises or cloud-based program like QuickBooks.&nbsp;Although that&nbsp;software runs more efficiently&nbsp;than keeping data on spreadsheets, since it\u2019s specifically designed for accounting functions, the process of keeping track of invoices and auditing is still time-consuming, and data silos may still exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An automated solution doesn\u2019t give upstream visibility to finances related to the order or in-transit stages, so organisations still require a balancing act between the time spent auditing\u00a0invoices and\u00a0keeping a stable cash flow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integrated Execution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully integrating this stage opens a full line of sight into the financial portion of the supply chain as soon as a customer places an order.\u00a0A\u00a0fully\u00a0integrated software suite communicates with OMS, WMS, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/en-au\/technology\/supply-chain\/transportation-management-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TMS systems<\/a>\u00a0to provide true upstream visibility of the associated costs and spend across the entire supply chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electronic documents and EDI systems help ensure timely, accurate invoicing and facilitate better cash flow management. Standardising the formats used and enabling data sharing between platforms offers ROI in several areas of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than pulling this information from separate and disparate\u00a0systems manually or through a QuickBooks application, a truly integrated platform centralises the information, reducing the time and effort spent on manually creating reports needed to drive intelligent business decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-challenges-to-achieving-full-supply-chain-visibility\">Common Challenges to Achieving Full Supply Chain Visibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Achieving end-to-end supply chain visibility requires both technical investment and stakeholder buy-in. Fragmented data systems, limited infrastructure and inconsistent standards across technology partners can make integration challenging. Companies relying on legacy software without a centralised platform for their supply chain management will struggle with the technical aspects of project implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to consider the human factors that can make supply chain visibility a challenge. Proper change management is essential to ensure stakeholder buy-in. Without support from all departments, any investment is not likely to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-technologies-that-enable-end-to-end-visibility\">Technologies That Enable End-to-End Visibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several technologies are involved in end-to-end supply chain visibility implementations. WMS platforms assist with monitoring stock levels and the early part of the order process. ERP and transportation management systems offer real-time shipment tracking and can be supported by AI\/ML systems to improve visibility into each stage of the shipping process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI\/ML can also assist with demand forecasting and even manage route planning and orders. Blockchain technologies can be used to create immutable ledgers and records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-measuring-success-kpis-for-supply-chain-visibility\">Measuring Success: KPIs for Supply Chain Visibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To judge the ROI of your supply chain visibility projects, consider tracking the following metrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On-Time In-Full (OTIF)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inventory turnover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Order cycle times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Order accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stockouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracking these metrics helps assess the effectiveness of your visibility initiatives and can highlight areas where optimisation is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">How enVista Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>enVista\u2019s supply chain experts have deep expertise in\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/envistacorp.techyscouts.dev\/en-au\/technology\/supply-chain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complex systems integrations<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of supply chain technologies (WMS\/TMS\/OMS\/ERP).
