Supply Chain Analytics in Easy WMS

New version of the Supply Chain Analytics (SCA) capability

Upgrades to the SCA capability

The enhanced version of Supply Chain Analytics is designed to integrate seamlessly into an organisation’s logistics ecosystem. It offers an intuitive, powerful environment for exploring and leveraging supply chain data through a wide range of capabilities typical of a business intelligence (BI) program.

The new version of SCA features a completely revamped interface that simplifies, streamlines and enriches data visualisation. It introduces functionalities for creating fully customised dashboards from a broad catalogue of widgets covering multiple warehouse logistics processes and key performance indicators (KPIs).

With this upgrade, users can create, manage, edit and share dashboards tailored to business needs. It provides maximum visibility into warehouse operations, facilitating trend identification, performance monitoring and informed decision-making.

Creation of customised dashboards

Dashboards are visual interfaces that enable a quick, easily understandable view of complex data. They clearly and concisely display key metrics and relevant KPIs for a particular user or department. Through dashboards, users can interact with the data, apply filters and adjust views to gain specific and actionable insights, thereby improving operation management and control within facility.

With the new version of Supply Chain Analytics, users have the power to create custom dashboards by selecting widgets from an extensive catalogue of the main warehouse operations. The generated dashboards can be shared with other users and departments through a publishing feature. It allows dashboard creators to distribute their analyses and displays to a broader audience within the organisation, facilitating collaboration and access to critical information.

Thanks to this new capability, users will be able to:

• Create as many dashboards as required.
• Generate dashboards from a diverse catalogue of predefined widgets.
• View data from different logistics processes in a single dashboard.
• Edit dashboards as many times as needed.
• Share created dashboards with different user groups.
• Set up alerts and notifications based on dashboard data.
• Easily locate published dashboards through a unified menu and a favourites function.

Widget catalogue for dashboard creation

To build a dashboard, users can select widgets from an extensive catalogue covering the main warehouse operations, combining them in several ways to tailor dashboards to their needs. Each widget represents specific information within metric groups and offers clear and concise displays for a quick, effective understanding of business-relevant data.

Widgets are categorised based on the type of information they represent: real-time data or consolidated data. This classification provides users with visibility into both the current state of warehouse operations and historical trends. Additionally, widgets are classified by their graphical representation (e.g., cards, area charts, ring charts, bar charts, line charts, tree maps, pivot tables, etc.).

Finally, for easier navigation, SCA also categorises widgets by the business process or warehouse area from which their data originates. The catalogue includes five widget groups, organised by metrics related to the following areas or processes: warehouse capacity, shipping, inventory, receiving and facility utilisation.
