Supply Chain
Business Innovation and Collaboration
Oslo's supply chain solutions are focused squarely on enabling customers to partner with their suppliers for direct material purchasing to remove inefficiencies from the entire product development and delivery process. Our solutions shift the traditional buyer/supplier interaction from a distant, adversarial association focused on price negotiations to an intimate relationship focused on collaboration. Solutions are intended to allow buyers to whittle away at inventory and improve manufacturing efficiency by providing unprecedented visibility up and down the supply chain.
Oslo's solutions also tackle the various cultural barriers to opening up the enterprise to the supply chain - the technical challenges associated with linking multiple disparate systems for visibility. Often enterprises with multiple suppliers communicate with them using phone, fax, snail mail, and EDI (electronic data interchange). Successful integration of suppliers and back-office systems is perhaps the most crucial and most difficult aspect of supplier collaboration. Oslo unique approach to resource management and process orchestration allows you to move away from traditional payment mechanisms to real-time settlement for transactions and swapping batch-oriented EDI transactions that a company processes several times a week for real-time purchases, anytime and anywhere.
