Supply Chain

Production - Shipping - Inventory Management

Ease of Use and Integration

efoil can be implemented immediately.   No changes are required to your systems or your customers' or suppliers' systems.  efoil can further improve the efficiency of your use of efoil by integrating your existing data into efoil with little or no disruption to your operations.

Order Scheduling / Forecasting

efoil’s tools schedule the entire order process, from initial purchase order submission through approval, production and delivery.   Buyers can confidentially schedule orders months in advance.  efoil's system then steps the buyer and seller through the entire process on schedule, using an event-driven notice system, improving the reliability and predictability of supply transactions, and lowering the supervisory effort required to provide a smoothly functioning supply chain.

Consolidated Reporting

Buyers and sellers can consolidate the forecasts and tracking information from any number of customers or suppliers into single, integrated reports, with complete security.  No consolidated information is shared with other parties to the supply relationships.

Real Time Shareable Production Scheduling Information

efoil enables producers to track the effect of production schedule changes on delivery commitments.  Producers can examine production scenarios months in advance of actual production.  They can also selectively share production progress with customers and partners.

Global Real Time Container Tracking / Forecasting

efoil tracks the location of all containers throughout the world 24x7.  efoil provides up-to-date forecasts of completion dates for each step in the global shipping process, providing higher accuracy in inventory forecasting.

Inventory Projection

efoil provides inventory projections based on real-time production scheduling and container tracking information. Parties have the earliest possible warnings of delivery overruns and underruns.

Full Auditing / Security

efoil’s system tracks all accesses and edits to the efoil system.  Each party on efoil can inspect all changes and accesses made by their users and collaborating parties.   efoil ensures that parties can establish the accuracy and timeliness of communications.

Flexible Group Collaboration

efoil enables you to set up groups of suppliers, customers, and service providers immediately.  No changes to your system or theirs are required.  These groups can exchange documents, tracking information and forecasts.  These groups can be setup by efoil participants by contract, purchase order, supply relationship or documentation project.

Event Driven

efoil's system is an event-driven, exception reporting system.  Users control their notifications, and efoil's system can be limited to reporting exceptions only, reducing information overload.
