NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. launched a visual platform called NX-VISTA that provides customers with order, shipping and inventory information.
History
In recent years, companies have experienced escalating geopolitical risks and growing supply chain intricacy. The need for cross-functional determination of shipment status – be it order placement or deployment—has become vital in making timely and correct choices. However, because information associated with the supply chain is frequently handled by separate order, shipping, and inventory systems, it is sometimes challenging to get the big picture in a timely way.
Interestingly, the NX Group has risen to this challenge with NX-VISTA, which is a new platform that integrates and visualizes information throughout the supply chain.
NX-VISTA – Overview
NX-VISTA for supply chain visibility is a platform that integrates order, shipping, and inventory data to provide full visibility of shipments right from order to delivery. NX-VISTA uses management keys like PO numbers and item numbers to connect information from multiple systems, which includes core and shipment tracking as well as warehouse inventory systems. This is done to provide a consolidated view of the whole supply chain.
NX-VISTA Features
End-to-end visibility from order to delivery
PO numbers and item numbers enable you to monitor the status across the supply chain.
Centralized accessibility to scattered data
Supplier shipping information, carrier tracking details, and warehouse inventory numbers, as well as other data, are consolidated for use from one dashboard.
Supports multiple carriers
NX-VISTA allows the user to visualize transport data managed by the NX Group as well as by other companies, so it is well suited for multi-carrier supply chains.
Transport/inventory control which is cross-functional
Having both transport as well as inventory status on the same screen helps speed up decision-making on replenishment, shipping, and inventory optimization.
Decision-making support with the help of PSI visualization
Users can be proactive in identifying stockouts as well as excess inventory risks by verifying PSI – production, sales, and inventory balances.
What’s next?
As one moves ahead, the NX Group through NX-VISTA for supply chain visibility is going to continue to improve NX-VISTA’s capabilities, such as KPI reporting, improved risk management capabilities, AI chatbots, smartphone and tablet assistance, and API – application programming interface integration with customer systems.
The NX Group will continue to pursue logistics solutions utilizing digital technology to offer new value to customers all over the world, helping customers to make better choices and completely maximize their supply chains.
