DIGITISATION • ELEMICA’S CONTINUOUS PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CYCLE HAS SEEN NEW FUNCTIONS AND UPDATES BEING INTRODUCED TO ITS VARIOUS PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS

ELEMICA, THE LEADING cloud-based digital supply network for global manufacturing industries, has added a range of new features to its Digital Supply Network and Supply Chain Solutions suites designed to enhance product safety and customer experience. Elemica says these additions bring “significant improvements” in visibility of product shipments, track and trace functions, electronic proof of delivery, visual route progress and self-service data enrichment.

“Having optimal visibility into the supply chain creates safer products and services and builds on customer loyalty and ultimate satisfaction,” says Arun Samuga, chief technology officer at Elemica. “These enhancements improve use of inventory, streamline onboarding for inter-business connectivity, improve search including hazardous material criteria, and allow for more in-depth visualisation for track and trace of product safety and knowing where orders and shipments are at all times.”

A range of other updates have also improved a number of products within Elemica’s various digital solutions. These include the Transport & QuickLink Email Move, which aims to improve product safety by incorporating hazardous materials data, simplifying booking requests globally with carriers in multiple languages in a costeffective and consistent manner. Its Pulse product within the ‘Elemica See’ control tower allows shippers and carriers to collaborate on realistic promise-based, on-time, infull delivery, regardless of how orders are received; this reduces customer service costs by eliminating order and shipment status enquiries and by using end-to-end supply chain visibility and monitoring to complete the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay workflows.

Elemica says this latest round of updates is part of its continual process of improving the Digital Supply Network software, based on client requests for additional benefits together with internally generated improvements that aim to reduce supply chain costs while making the software more robust and easier to use.

FILLING THE ROLES Growing demand for Elemica’s services have prompted two recent senior-level appointments aimed to give a greater focus on enhanced client success and new services and implementations. Steve Lyman has been recruited from Grant Thornton, where he was managing director of business transformation, and given the role of senior vice-president of professional services. His task will be to ensure desired business outcomes for clients by leading the team in charge of customer success, implementations and services.

Existing team member Cindi Hane, vicepresident of logistics product management, will also take on the role of general manager of Eyefreight, a transport management system recently acquired by Elemica. In this capacity, she will lead the day-to-day activities of the Eyefreight team providing clients a single platform for multi-national, multi-modal shipment optimisation, freight settlement and execution.

“I am pleased to welcome Steve Lyman to our team and Cindi Hane to her new role in guiding Elemica and its clients to the next level of digital transformation success,” says Rich Katz, CEO of Elemica. “These management changes strategically align the organisation with our continuing growth initiatives in helping Elemica serve clients with next-generation, digital supply chain solutions.”

Elemica was formed in 2000 to accelerate digital transformation in the supply chain by connecting, automating and anticipating processes across a range of industries, including the global chemical industry. It now handles more than $600bn worth of commerce annually on its network. elemica.com
