BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a leading independent
enterprise software provider that enables companies to be operationally
responsive, today unveiled at its annual customer and partner
conference, Progress
Revolution, the Progress®
Time-in-Transit solution accelerator. The solution provides supply
chain managers with real-time visibility into their operations and helps
them anticipate disruptions, monitor shipping schedules and mitigate
risk. This enables supply chain managers to improve cycle times and to
re-sequence their supply chain with unprecedented immediacy.
The Progress Time-in-Transit solution accelerator is tightly coupled
with the Progress Control Tower™ product, which provides supply chain
managers with their own ‘desktop-based' command and control center, to
deliver comprehensive visibility across their business operations,
allowing them to quickly and easily sense and respond to potential or
impending opportunities or threats.
Businesses around the world are striving to improve performance and
boost growth in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Their attention
is focused on getting goods and services to market faster and providing
world-class customer service. However, many enterprises suffer from
constantly shifting blind spots within their supply chain. These blind
spots can cause increasing costs due to misplaced inventory,
over-production or suboptimal cycle times, all of which can render a
business unable to capture new revenue. Through the unique coupling of
real-time aggregation of internal and external data and the ability to
rapidly respond to unplanned events, the Progress Time-in-Transit
solution accelerator enables businesses to identify blind spots and
re-sequence their extended supply chains to ensure optimal execution.
John Bates, Chief Technology Officer, Progress Software, said: "The
Progress Time-in-Transit solution accelerator provides supply chain
managers with comprehensive visibility into and across their extended
supply chain. With this unprecedented insight, managers can re-sequence
supply chains in real-time, which results in a rapid time to recovery
and ensures the supply chain flow returns to normal service rapidly. By
sensing and responding in real-time, businesses can dramatically slash
potential SLA violations and respond to new opportunities."
The Progress Time-in-Transit solution accelerator can be integrated into
proprietary business processes and can be easily deployed in existing
legacy IT systems without disrupting any current functions.
Bob Ferrari, Managing Director, Ferrari Consulting and Research Group,
noted: "The rate of change and the frequency of events impacting global
supply chains today is unprecedented. Supply chain teams now require
much broader sensing and proactive response capabilities to unplanned
events. The new supply chain competitive differentiator is rapid
response and more predictive outcomes."
The Progress Time-in-Transit solution accelerator is layered on the Progress
Responsive Process Management™ (RPM) suite, providing data capture,
integration and automation capabilities specifically for the unique
needs of supply chain managers. The Progress RPM™ suite delivers
immediate and actionable insight into business operations and enables
business users to gain visibility into critical processes, immediately
respond to events, and continuously improve their business
performance—without disruption to existing infrastructure. In essence,
it enables executives to respond to what is going to happen, before it
does.
