Support your organization at every level of the business
Ceres leads the industry from transportation to fulfillment in providing supply chain prediction strategies and solutions that meet today’s volatile business requirements. We help various roles within the organization acquire the knowledge and data they need to be more effective and make better decisions that affect profits, stock prices, and customer satisfaction.
We help supply chain planners
Supply chain planning requires connecting the dots between sellers, manufacturers, warehouse staff, carriers, and more. Ceres helps by creating data models that pull in data from all constituents to predict unexpected events that cause delays and issues throughout the supply chain. Allow your teams to plan for:
- Utilizing alternate ports
- Identify where a change of partners and suppliers may be needed
- Locate capacity constraints for shipping carriers
- Create manufacturing backup plans and redundancies based on accurate demand forecasting
We help procurement teams
Ceres helps plan and direct the activities of buyers, purchasing officers, and related workers to ensure materials, products, and services are available at the right time. Get the most out of your ERP and Purchasing Management System (PMS) to give your teams a “heads up” when supplier costs, inventory, receipts, and more are at risk due to external or internal factors. Purchasing teams can then:
- Update negotiated contracts and policies with suppliers
- Develop cost-optimization and reduction strategies and savings plans
- Change bid awards to provide product and materials backup
- Look for alternate sources of raw materials or finished goods when risk is detected
- Adjust cumulative or threshold discounts based on the availability of supply
- Negotiate improvement to existing key performance indicators (KPIs) or establish new ones
