Oracle SCM Cloud for JDE & EBS

This term describes when Cloud-based technology is used to manage and optimize a company’s supply chain. Managing your company’s supply chain in the Cloud has numerous benefits, including:

• facilitating product delivery to clients, which boosts the quality of customer service and helps to build loyalty
• reducing your operating costs through flexible, well-designed supply networks that can meet demand, on time and in the most affordable ways
• enhancing trust all along the supply chain, from manufacturers to assemblers, and from logistics and warehousing professionals to retailers, direct customers and more
• providing cost savings for valued partners all along the supply chain, in part by reducing the amount of time that inventory remains in warehouses
• nimbly adjusting when supply chain interruptions occur, thanks to the high visibility provided by the SCM application
• facilitating improved cost of goods, cash flow, and bottom line

Your company can customize logistics management in highly efficient ways, whether that’s by customer, geography, product line, or a combination of methods.

Additionally, when supply chain management is Cloud-based, technology upgrades are seamlessly implemented without the business interruption often experienced with upgrades of on-premise solutions.
