Ligentix is our 4th generation supply chain management platform. It is developed in house at our development centre at Nexus, Leeds in the UK. It has been built on supply chain best practice through collaboration with hundreds of customers. The platform’s foundation is its Purchase Order integration, and exception management functionality. Running through Ligentix at its core is the critical path milestone management from PO generation through to destination delivery. This information allows us to provide a very high level of visibility down to item level right across the supply chain. This information is visible through a range of easy-to-use tools such as a visual end to end control tower, a configurable management dashboard and shipping or warehouse calendars. Ligentix allows all different supply chain stakeholders to have access for their specific needs. Because of our role bases access control each user such as a supplier, import manager, buyer, merchandiser, or finance team member only sees the information and features that are applicable to their role. On top of standard Ligentix we have an extremely detailed analytics layer. This takes data from multiple sources and merges them together to give in-depth and insightful information. Our analytics capability all links back to the vast range and amount of data we hold within Ligentix and means we can measure supplier, carrier, haulier,3rd party’s as well as our own performance against all the milestones on the critical path. In summary Ligentix delivers three unique areas of value to our customers: 1. Exception management – Means a user only needs to focus on the small number of orders that fall out of the agreed tolerance levels and that need responding to. 2. Live visibility – Our PO centric design gives visibility right down to the individual item/SKU level and this information is supplemented with live feeds from shipping lines and hauliers to ensure up to the minute control. 3. Richness of the data we gather and store, means we can report in fine detail to deliver development reports and plans to reduce lead times or costs, to manage suppliers and carriers to ultimately increase end to end efficiency to drive down cost and increase performance.
