With real-time information from all supply chain partners, Supply Chain Managers can reduce inventory and stock-out while improving service levels and lead times
BOSTON, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TraceLink, the largest end-to-end digital network platform for intelligent orchestration of the life sciences and healthcare supply chain, has announced the Magnum release of its flagship platform, Opus, the only no-code network digitalization platform designed to democratize access to end-to-end supply chain integration and orchestration. This significant milestone represents an evolution of more than four years of intense Opus platform development work and propels the supply chain management function to new heights of innovation and efficiency.
With its reimagined user experience, no-code workflow configuration, drag-and-drop editing for multi-enterprise solution experiences, catalog of pre-built enterprise system integrations, and integrated dashboarding and reporting of end-to-end supply chain processes, the Magnum release of Opus empowers supply chain leaders to achieve radical business benefits. These benefits range from reducing out-of-stocks, inventory levels, and operational costs to improving service levels and enabling faster product launches, new market entry, and the creation of new commerce channels. Through this shared customer and trading partner value proposition, Opus will set the new standard for supply chain management capabilities to drive process orchestration while fueling customers’ long-term AI and machine learning strategies with the real-time data needed to succeed.
“We’ve been closely following the development of the Opus Platform and how it’s evolving to meet the dynamic needs of modern supply chains,” said Alessandro De Luca, CIO, Merck KGaA. “I’m honored to be a keynote speaker at TraceLink’s FutureLink Barcelona conference this October, where I’ll be sharing more about Merck’s own supply chain digitalisation journey and how new capabilities like those offered by Opus could help the overall industry to better serve customers and patients with the right product at the right time across the E2E supply network. It’s truly an exciting time for all of us invested in digital supply chain transformation.”
Supply chains today are burdened by many challenges, including imprecise demand forecasting, ineffective inventory management, late deliveries, and the inability to maintain real-time visibility to high-quality and reliable supply production.
