Defeat Volatility with Versatility
Most solutions rigidly tie one type of data to one set of views for one type of user. With Data Versatility from UnitySCM, you can repurpose and remix existing data sources to flexibly fix problems in your ever-changing supply chain.
Remix Inventory and PO Data to Improve Product Availability
Meet production schedules
Monitor order statuses and identify shortages with sufficient lead time to expedite or redirect the flow of material so production can meet ‘need by’ dates.
Prevent stockouts
Identify late shipments and other exceptions early, enabling teams to mitigate the customer impact of stockouts by replanning, reprioritizing, or rerouting inventory to offset delays.
Improve customer satisfaction
Proactively communicate anticipated delays to internal teams, supply chain partners, and customers in an effort to improve the overall customer experience.
By combining the right order and inventory data, UnitySCM gives you the ability to get ahead of fulfillment issues and maintain revenues.

Remix Cycle Time and Variance Data to Optimize Inventory
Optimize safety and cycle stock
Utilize up-to-date transportation lead times and variability by lane/route/carrier to improve safety and cycle stock calculations at the SKU level.
Improve carrier capacity allocation
Utilize actual transit times to optimize tradeoffs between transportation costs (cost per container, frequency of shipping, utilization rate) and inventory costs.
Reduce lead time variances
Leverage rich historical plan vs. actual data transportation data for key milestones to identify and resolve causes of lead time variances, e.g., late goods ready, late pickups, port dwell times, late unloading at warehouse/yard.
UnitySCM delivers the cycle time and variance data you need to make the right trade-offs to optimize your stock.
“Getting real-time intelligence that leads our team to actionable recommendations has been a game changer. Unity SCM made capturing the data simple. The visibility the platform provides on the flow of goods allows our organization to reduce disruptions and build resiliency.”

Remix Container and Port/Facility Data to Eliminate D&D
Cut D&D fees
Identify and prioritize containers dwelling past expected thresholds in a timely manner to minimize D&D fees.
Improve network planning
Leverage rich analytics around active and historical dwell times at a granular level to identify and mitigate causes of excessive dwell. Assess historical dwell to improve free time allocation.
Identify exceptions and generate alerts
Respond proactively to optimize container use and avoid fee-incurring situations with configurable dwell-time exception notifications and alerts.
With UnitySCM, you no longer have to treat demurrage and detention charges as an unavoidable cost of doing business.
"No demurrage/detention for Q2! The balance is actually negative as we received credits from a tier-1 carrier at the end of the quarter. Having Unity SCM in place has really helped us to avoid demurrage.”
Remix Inventory, Order, and Shipment Data to Reduce Inventory Risk
Reduce Slow Moving and Obsolete Inventory
Identify late supplier POs and redirect or cancel them to improve accuracy and minimize unwanted or out-of-season inventory.
Order Workflow Analytics
Track orders from creation through delivery, including quantities on order, in transit and delivered to gain better control over inventory levels.
Predictive Insights
Store and cross-reference due dates at order and line levels with ETAs to identify potential delays and enable proactive decision-making for inventory management.
With the right data and insights from UnitySCM, you can minimize the risk of slow or obsolete inventory.
