SUPPLY CHAIN LOGISTICS

With this modern era of lightning fast, 24/7 global transactions are

a new era of multi-level supply chain challenges. At Sunland, we not only provide services such as inventory management and order fulfillment, but we have made it our business to help our customers advance the velocity and overall performance of their forward and reverse supply chains.

Sunland works in a number of verticals, including automotive, consumer retail, chemical, and e-commerce. The nature and size of businesses differs from sector to sector, but they still have similar goals and challenges on how best to manage the supply chain. That is, whether you are selling automotive parts or engaged in online retail commerce, you still need to execute to the 7R’s of logistics (the right product, right place, right customer, right condition, right time, and right quantity). It’s not enough to simply produce and deliver; transparency and real-time information is now required at every step. Many more entities are involved in a given transaction than in the past, which means they not only have different requirements along the way, but also are probably generating significant amounts of data.

Finally, transactions themselves have changed. It used to be that the supply chain flow of information entailed large quantities of product and smaller numbers of transactions. Today, the exact opposite – smaller

quantities and high volume of transactions – is the norm.

So, too often, there is a lot of data out there – everybody has data - but it’s not being leveraged to provide insight for making meaningful business decisions. That’s where Sunland can help.

One important core function we perform is concentrating on developing, improving and deploying the latest technologies to capture all that data from its many sources, then parse, organize and analyze that data, on one platform, to provide useful, real time, accurate information at every step in the supply chain to help our customers make those critical decisions for their businesses.

From this platform we can also provide visibility and transparency, so customers can accurately see exactly where everything is at every step in the process. In short, we spend a lot of time and energy providing our customers with the information they need – useful, meaningful information.

A lot of the customers we work with – indeed, some of the largest companies in the world - are just not up to speed with the latest technologies. We do a better job of providing logistical solutions for them because in addition to managing the flow of the physical inventory, we can bring more value to the data gathered, the information flows more efficiently – and that ultimately cuts costs and enhances customer experience.
