What is Vanguard Supply Chain Solutions and what do they offer their clients
Vanguard Supply Chain Solutions is a company that supplies supply chain management software for businesses. They offer products that help a company to get their business up and running quickly with the security and scalability needed in today’s world. For small businesses or new companies, the software and services provide functionality, which significantly reduces the cost of operating and managing a supply chain. Additionally, the solution provides all the enterprise features that larger businesses demand. The company’s growth is attributed to their client retention and reputation for developing solutions that exceed customer expectations.
Vanguard Supply Chain Solutions was founded in 1999 when two supply chain management professionals were looking to bridge the gap between Enterprise level software and small business applications. The founders had been working together at a Fortune 500 company that had recently developed an internet-based warehouse management product called E-Flow, which was the first of its kind in its industry. At the time, there was no software or solution to connect this software to a web server. After a couple years of development, the two decided to partner with another supply chain professional and start their own company called Vanguard Multimedia Solutions.
How have Vanguard’s solutions helped companies streamline their supply chains
Vanguard provides a real-time, integrated and scalable solution. This solution helps organizations reach their global supply chain goals by optimizing planning, execution and control processes. Vanguard’s solutions help companies identify and seize new revenue opportunities, reduce lead-time and cost, lower inventory levels, increase overall efficiency and improve visibility throughout the world of operations. They also provide a vendor management application, which provides you with access to the supplier of your choice. This application enables you to store information about your supply chain partners, and track important business data including cost, shipping volume and performance.
There has never been a more critical time for companies to optimize their logistics. Shipping rates are increasing, consumer demands are rapidly evolving; and the industry is being affected by global political conflicts and natural disasters. However, with the right supply chain partner, companies can reap the rewards of increased profits and lower costs while maintaining customer satisfaction.
Case studies of how Vanguard has successfully helped companies improve their supply chain operations
Vanguard has worked with a wide range of customers across different industry segments. They start by understanding the unique business requirements of their customers and help them achieve their goals. Vanguard’s solutions are deployed in two distinct ways: a “virtual warehouse” that includes a range of operational systems, analytics, and technology; and a “real warehouse.” Vanguard is able to deploy these solutions in house so that customers don’t need to build out large physical warehouses.
For companies that are looking to build warehouses with a focus on reducing costs, Vanguard’s solutions are an ideal solution. In these cases, Vanguard can help the customer reduce cost by eliminating the need for different employees in each warehouse. This involves taking data from multiple locations and consolidating it into one system that is both reliable and secure. They can also put away excess inventory while increasing sales.
Vanguard’s solutions are also useful for companies that need to reduce inventory. These companies typically don’t have a high-level of inventory and can make use of the high-speed scanning capabilities. Vanguard has experience working with customers that are looking to increase sales, service customers, and help lower costs.
