Sockeye Takes on Inbound, Outbound Supply Chain Management with New Solution
Allegro Suite offers end-to-end approach with modules for inventory management, demand management and supply chain event management
Cupertino, CA — June 13, 2007 — Sockeye Supply Chain has rolled out its Allegro Suite with modules for inbound and outbound supply chain management, inventory management, demand management and supply chain event management.
The new Allegro Suite provides enterprises with a range of supply chain management capabilities, including features to enable collaboration and inventory visibility, according to Sockeye Supply Chain, formerly known as Sockeye Solutions.
"To compete in today's global markets, businesses are outsourcing operations in an effort to reduce costs, increase supply and reach new markets," said Brian Nickerson, CEO of Sockeye Supply Chain. "To realize the potential benefits of this strategy, enterprises need to improve information flow and accelerate decision making across the extended supply chain. The new Allegro Suite helps companies fulfill the next step in creating an efficient global supply chain by providing solutions that enable end-to-end visibility and collaboration with trading partners."
SOA Approach
The Allegro Suite is built and deployed on the Collaborative Application Framework (CAF), a service oriented architecture (SOA) platform designed to deliver applications that address customer's unique business needs. Sockeye said its approach allows companies to implement and deploy new applications rapidly and reconfigure the applications as business requirements evolve. "The Allegro Suite allows Sockeye's customers to quickly adapt to change and solve problems fast at a lower cost," the company said in announcing the new solution.
A supply chain event management solution, known as Allegro SCEM, is included within the suite. This feature allows enterprises to set a number of time-critical synchronization processes using real-time supply chain events, alert notification and problem ticketing. "SCEM enables businesses to immediately act on a supply or demand problem to better manage inventory levels," Sockeye said.
The Allegro Suite works in a multi-enterprise, multi-system and multi-language environment with a flexible architecture, making it a suitable solution for the most complex supply chain needs, according to Sockeye. The suite's modules can be combined and configured to support a range of customized requirements and solve real-world problems with supply chain collaboration, the solution provider said.
Inbound, Outbound and Beyond
The modules include:
Allegro Inbound — Sockeye's inbound supply chain planning module is focused on providing visibility and decision support to manage the replenishment of parts inventory from suppliers to manufacturers. It includes a dynamic replenishment feature that allows for the co-management of inventory levels by the supplier and manufacturer to dynamically address any inventory level discrepancies in real-time. Additionally, the module supports multiple replenishment methods based on the supplier/buyer relationship (e.g., strategic vs. non-strategic) and whether the part is critical/constrained or non-strategic.
