The Project Challenges:
Armada was encountering issues regarding warehouse storage facilities and visibility of the supply chain processes. The client needed Visvero to address the following concerns:
-
Need to maintain full visibility of all the food items in storage at various warehouse locations across the US
-
Constraints include the warehouse facility, such as cold storage as well as the items stored, e.g. fish, poultry, meats etc. And the item shelf life.
-
Reduce replenishment time/cost at the restaurant level.
Visvero’s Solutions Approach:
Visvero developed a system-wide master data platform including extended supply chain partners – initially using Golden Gate and later Denodo platform. We developed various dashboard applications for browser based and mobile platform consumption using Spotfire. Other approaches to address the challenges were:
-
Used simple Weights & Biases based optimization model
-
Implemented SpotFire / R for dashboarding and analytics presentation.
Overall Performance & Results:
With effective implementation of the above solution, Armada quickly accomplished the desired goals of effectively managing the entire storage till production and distribution process:
-
Reduced 2 warehouses.
-
Using the COTS core reduced the cost of software development.
-
Extended the application to Pentaho CE and Python to further reduce the application ongoing maintenance costs.
