Supply Chain & Logistics

Spinacia Tech is a solution provider and technology consultant helping logistics service providers and vertical industries in the digitalization of their supply chain and logistics needs.

Supply Chain Planning

Product manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and retailers are facing price competition along with fluctuating customer demands. To handle these challenges, enterprises need real-time visibility into the customer demand pattern to help them make the desired changes in their supply chain planning.

Manufacturers need to collaborate with suppliers, distributors, and retailers to strike a balance between supply and demand. To achieve this, many manufacturers have adopted the Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR) model.
Spinacia Tech helps its clients develop solutions for suppliers’ network collaboration platforms to accurately report demand, plan replenishment, and schedule procurement, thus enabling enterprises to optimize their supply chain processes.

Sourcing & Procurement

Optimization of industrial and operational costs leads to the outsourcing of all possible materials and processes. Global sourcing is one of the key components of the procurement strategy for many large multinational companies. These companies leverage low labor and material costs along with other business advantages.

Companies are going beyond the traditional sourcing approach to a multi-tier sourcing approach, which brings in complexity in sourcing, procurement, and contract management.
Many multinational companies use e-Procurement applications to locally manage sourcing and procurement. Spinacia Tech has extensive experience in developing B2B, B2C, and B2G portals for managing procurement, sourcing, invoicing, and payments.

Manufacturing

To manage an optimized manufacturing environment, it is essential to plan and schedule the deployment of physical and human assets, inventory, and processes across a global production network. There is a need to provide rapid responses to changes in demand and supply, collaborate with upstream suppliers and downstream distributors and retailers, and provide personalized customer experiences throughout the product life cycle.

Manufacturers are looking for streamlined processes and integrated systems to become fast and responsive in resource planning and scheduling linked to supply chain execution.
Spinacia Tech has provided solutions to manufacturing challenges including production planning and scheduling, communication between customers and suppliers, and increasing visibility into manufacturing capacity.

Logistics

Globalization of supply chain practices and outsourcing of logistics services have given tremendous advantage to organizations across verticals, enabling them to focus on their core competencies. However, this has introduced new challenges in monitoring, analyzing, and responding to supply chain events.

Logistics solutions have gained wide acceptance with the extensive use of material handling equipment, barcode, RFID, GPS, handheld devices and mobile applications, and cloud technology.
Logistics software solution providers for 3PLs, fleet owners, distributors, freight forwarders, and supply chain consultancy providers have partnered with Spinacia Tech to develop, maintain, and test their flagship products.

Returns Management

Returns management has become an important part of the order fulfillment cycle. Delivery errors are increasing exponentially with the continuous growth of omnichannel commerce, direct store shipments, direct home shipments, and complex global sourcing. Mastering the returns management or reverse logistics process has a direct impact on the cost of doing business and on the level of customer service.

Returns management operations get less attention and are generally placed under a subsidiary part of the existing logistics functions, directly affecting a company’s brand value, supply chain efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
Spinacia Tech has provided solutions for returns management processes that integrate with traditional logistics solutions such as WMS and TMS. We have also implemented an information management system that provides business intelligence to deal with reverse logistics challenges.

Supply Chain Visibility

Supply chain visibility tools are used to consolidate the information of purchase orders, shipments, transportation and logistics activities, and statuses of supply chain events. Gaining visibility of the product flow requires a control tower approach that synchronizes end-to-end activities—from planning to execution.

Companies need internal collaboration to operate, but to have control over the entire supply chain process, they need to collaborate with their suppliers and integrate with their logistics partners.
Spinacia Tech has proficiency in control tower technologies and global integration standards, which enables organizations to collaborate with their internal and external business entities and enterprise systems for visibility across the entire supply chain.
