3 ways Coeus Supplier Experience Portal can evolve your supply chain

WHERE DOES SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE COME IN?

In the supply chain there is a wealth of data and in order for this data to be used to drive a business forward, it needs to be managed effectively.

This is where supply chain management software comes in. 

  • But what is crucial, is that the platform selected is fit for purpose. So, the main things to consider are:
  • Is it user friendly?
  • Is it efficient?
  • Can it perform at speed with large data input?

In this article, we’ll discuss the expectations of a supplier portal in today’s data-rich supply chains, where speed and performance are needed more than ever to inform successful business strategy.

PERFORMANCE AT SCALE

Speed and performance are now expected from any modern website, portal, or application.

Users quickly become impatient and infuriated if any barriers are put up between them doing their job or carrying out a task.

It is essential for this reason that any supply portal solution is:

  1. Quick and performant for end users to interact with
  2. Seamless and efficient in terms of implementation and supplier onboarding
Coeus SEP utilises cutting-edge technology to perform at scale regardless of data volumes whilst offering simple onboarding and implementation.

It is likely the data within a supplier portal will be large with granular datasets including sales, stock, and financial information.

For many software vendors, the larger the amount of data and number of suppliers, the slower the experience will be for end users. And the feedback from these users describes slow user interactions as resulting in a negative experience - leading to despondency and a lack of use.

IN SUMMARY

Any barriers experienced by the end user of a supply portal must be removed as:

  • Portals should be quick and high performing
  • Portals that can’t handle large volumes of data or that are slow will simply not be utilised effectively

WHERE COEUS IS DIFFERENT

THE BENEFITS OF COEUS SEP EXPLORED

Let’s now delve further into three benefits of Coeus technology:

1. Firstly, Coeus is built on a modern and class leading analytics platform that can handle large volumes of data and associations with ease: 

This platform ensures the portal can scale with large data volumes and more users, meaning you are not limiting the potential reach of the supplier portal through data volume sizes. In addition, it is possible to slice the data using any filter at the speed of thought. 

The result? 

End users can discover and interrogate the data with ease and without any burden of speed.

2. Secondly, Coeus seamlessly slices large data sets into individual supplier applications: 

This results in having many small efficient data models compared with a single, yet inefficient large volume of data. 

Leading Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) should focus on relationships and influence across functions and the supply market at the same time as: “investing in agility by developing talent and accessing capabilities, knowledge, and experience, leveraging on-demand, hybrid service delivery models”.

And, most importantly, Coeus manages this, ensuring suppliers can surface insights at speed, without large amounts of back end administrative work.

3. The onboarding process is simple and designed with speed in mind:

We already have a list of standard tables, which simply need to be mapped to. This can be configured in your database or using our technology.

This process ensures that only the data that is required for the supplier portal is collected reducing the total data size and need for storing unnecessary fields. 

In addition, by standardising the data tables, this ensures onboarding can be extremely fast, with the only task being to map your systems to our tables.

If you are utilising a modern data warehouse, this can be achieved very quickly. However, we can offer organisations assistance were required to ensure they can structure their data sources into the required format. 

IN SUMMARY

With Coeus SEP you benefit from the following:

  • A modern platform able to handle and sift through unlimited data with ease
  • ADAG technology for smaller, more efficient data models
  • A simplified and speedy onboarding process
