Manufacturing

In this competitive world, making a great product isn't enough anymore. That means manufacturers can no longer rely on low prices, high quality and on-time delivery alone to keep them on top. These attributes ― competitive advantages a decade ago ― are now just requirements to stay in the game. And the rules of the game are constantly changing. Manufacturers face increasing globalization, more competition than ever, and customers whose demands reflect their own knowledge and expectations of a global market.

Panorama NovaView helps decision-makers work more effectively, efficiently and proactively by dissolving silos, and increasing collaboration between the back office, front office, warehouse, customer service and more. By transforming the ever-increasing flow of data generated by disparate systems into competitive information, manufacturers can improve tactical and strategic decision making.

Operational performance

Managing manufacturing data assets is key to maintaining and improving operating efficiency. However, data sources are typically dispersed across a vast enterprise, while supply and demand management requires timely access to relevant information. As a result, it is a challenge to make well-informed decisions based on the fragmented view of plant operations garnered from traditional, stand-alone manufacturing systems.

Channel Performance

Predicting every market change is impossible. Now more than ever, managers need tools that generate the insight that leads to smarter decision making and results in a more efficient supply chain. When Panorama’s BI solutions are applied to the supply chain, they deliver a critical advantage to manufacturers by generating actionable insights; anticipating customer demand; deriving financial insights across the extended supply chain; improving product quality, yield and time to market; and optimizing supply strategies.

Customer Relationships

Customers in the global marketplace have high expectations, but the truth is that many companies have difficulty understanding and connecting with their customers. And manufacturers must quickly respond to customer needs to remain competitive. Although the value of providing a more customer-centric experience is evident, manufacturers struggle with implementing this concept in their organizations. Using BI, customer retention solutions can enable companies to quickly gain an understanding of the variables that influence customer churn, allowing them to determine not only which customers are likely to leave, but why.
