Redefined Visibility – Monitored, Measured, Multi-Source Real-Time Supply Chain Visibility Data for Reliability
The true potential of today’s supply chain can only be realized when technology and expertise meet. Visibility without human involvement is just like a ship without a captain. With the vision to provide its customers with reliable supply chain visibility data, Century introduced VIZIV’s groundbreaking “Human in the Loop” solution into its Machine Learning based event scoring engine. Leveraging AI and Machine Learning, this solution helps validate critical supply chain data to ensure Century’s customers only see reliable information empowering their decision making.
“Today’s customers are living in a world of information overload,” said Jim McCullen, CIO at Century Supply Chain Solutions. “VIZIV is a cloud-based supply chain optimization platform that empowers our customers with vetted milestone data so they have confidence in knowing where their freight is and when it will arrive, anywhere in the world.”
Customized Purchase Order Management is the Heart of Optimized Supply Chain Management
As highlighted in this year’s TPM Tech Panel “What’s Old is New Again: The Re-Emergence of PO Management,” where Jim McCullen was a panelist, PO Management forms the foundation of an optimized supply chain. The design of the VIZIV platform is built from this concept of the PO being at the core of any downstream planning. The platform systematically adapts the management of each customer’s POs based on their Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to fit into their supply chain ecosystem. As Century’s global operating platform across 70+ countries as well as the customer’s direct portal to their supply chain with API-enabled connectivity, VIZIV provides trusted visibility from PO placement and vendor booking to carrier booking, vessel sailing, container location, transit time, freight costs, and US domestic last mile delivery.
Beyond Visibility – Intuitive User Interface with Industry-Leading Speed and Performance
The VIZIV interface is a refined adaptive and intuitive design combining aesthetics and performance. The interactive dashboards empower end users with the visualization of their entire supply chain layered with useful third-party information such as port statistics and other big data. The platform’s data architecture and development methodology are based on the latest from the company’s research & development team, guaranteeing fast load speeds and future scalability.
VIZIV is Century’s proprietary supply chain optimization platform available to the customers of the company’s origin cargo management and domestic distribution services.
