Avorcor - Overview

Avorcor helps its customers deliver the Supply Chain as a Service.

The Avorcor Supply-Chain-as-a-Service (SCaaS) Suite:

Enhances existing supply-chain management solutions
Adds the ability to improve operating efficiencies and correct poorly-performing supply-chain processes
Simplifies the capture and sharing of key supply-chain metrics
Provides real-time visibility into supply-chain operations

In short, our services allows users of existing ERP and WMS applications to rapidly deliver business activity monitoring and improvement of the supply-chain.

SCaaS is a unique SOA-based agent architecture that embraces your existing software and allows users of ERP systems from the likes of Baan, Activant, SSA, JD Edwards, QAD, Lawson, MAPICS and Epicor, and WMS systems such as Exceed, Dynamic WMS, and MARC – as well as home-grown transaction and warehouse management systems – to take advantage of the best practices that Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an On-Demand delivery model provide, for purposes of monitoring and maintenance of the supply-chain and to incrementally optimize inefficient supply-chain processes.

Avorcor’s web services for core supply chain functionality – including catalogs, replenishment, inventory management, pick and pack management, shipping and receiving, labeling, returns, and procurement – can be deployed quickly. In short, Avorcor delivers the Supply Chain as a Service.

Supply Chain as a Service means buying and implementing only what you need

Traditional supply chain solutions are “integrated”, which is enterprise application vendor-speak for “inflexible”; enterprises that use them find that those applications are too rigid and monolithic to adapt to fast-changing operational circumstances. The notion of implementing only the functionality that the organization needs, on a pick-and-choose basis, is beyond their scope.

Because SCaaS is 100% SOA-based, it allows organizations to deploy only the functionality that they need. In addition, because each service can be tested independently, quality is vastly superior.

The SCaaS Benefit: SCaaS users don’t waste valuable financial, IT, and user resources buying and implementing software they don’t need.

Supply Chain as a Service means extending the life of ERP and WMS applications with best-of-breed functionality

Most enterprises have made significant investments in ERP and WMS applications, with millions spent on implementation services and training, to say nothing of the cost of the software itself. Organizations who need the functionality and extensibility that modern applications offer are faced with an unpalatable choice of making due with their legacy applications, or abandoning them and starting over again from scratch.

SCaaS’s process-driven design and deployment capabilities allows companies to extend functionality exactly as they need to in order to meet customer demands and provide competitive differentiation.

The SCaaS Benefit: SCaaS extends the life of ERP and WMS applications – allowing organizations to adopt best-of-breed functionality without incurring the pain and cost associated with a wholesale shift away from their current applications.

Supply Chain as a Service means enabling the sharing of data across the enterprise and with trusted trading partners

The Internet has been instrumental in facilitating near-real-time exchange of data and human collaboration. A robust supply-chain thrives on a continuous stream of data and visibilty into supply-chain processes. Sometimes, sharing this information can be daunting; especially in light of recent system pentrations.

The Supply-Chain-as-a-Service Suite provides users with a means to enable the sharing of information in a trusted and controlled manner. Our Web Services require the presence of a unique token that is provided by authenticating with the SCaaS Suite. Moreover, we can control access to individual operations on each service using this token, meaning that you can limit or open the accessibility to your supply-chain data based on your agreement with each user.

The SCaaS Benefit: Easier collaboration with trading partners and greater visibiilty into the entire supply-chain.

Supply Chain as a Service means mobilizing the workforce

Traditional applications are predicated on the fantastic notion that an organization’s employees always have a PC handy where they can access the functionality that they need to check stock availability, receive inventory, or the myriad other things that they do during the course of a day. Additionally, not all applications are prepared to operate in a mobile, semi-connected world.

Avorcor realizes that reality is more messy than that; employees aren’t tethered to their desks and world is moving to more wirelessly connected mediums. Which is why SCaaS support mobile and wirless devices from phones to specialized ruggedized handheld devices, and why that mobile access includes voice capability and RFID readiness.

The SCaaS Benefit: SCaaS works where employees work and where the products are: in the warehouse, at customer sites, at vendor locations, everywhere.

Avorcor provides a wide range of both individual services as well as bundled/packaged services for the supply chain. To find out more, contact us
