Supply chain management today is much more than just ensuring access to raw materials and delivering the finished product on time. It is about better inventory planning, intelligent production, logistics and warehouse management, and seamless data-driven decision-making across the value chain.
While the supply chain has always been critical for businesses to ensure timely delivery, today, businesses need to be able to plan their production dynamically, based on changing customer requirements.
The supply chain needs to be agile, resilient, and responsive, while also meeting challenges posed by global trade regulations.
Oracle’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) & Manufacturing solution is popular among manufacturers of different sizes and industries. This is because it empowers business leaders with the complete digital transformation of the supply chain with good data visibility end-to-end.
Key Benefits of Oracle Cloud SCM
Some of the benefits of Oracle Cloud SCM include:
Optimizing Business Performance: The solution helps businesses improve efficiency cost-effectively by improving collaboration, forecast accuracy, and end-to-end visibility. The solution enhances the flexibility and resilience of supply chain planning, manufacturing, and execution, thereby enabling adaptation to the changing business environment.
Informed Decision Making: By empowering businesses with data on customers, operations, equipment, and product performance, it helps forecast trends, model scenarios, and improve strategizing. It helps break barriers to innovation by aligning supply chain execution to business goals and changes.
Ensure Customer Delight: A business survives by providing customer satisfaction. By providing a holistic view of sales, service, and supply chain, the solution helps improve customer engagement by getting it right the first time.
Improve Supply Chain Performance: The prebuilt analytics solution for Oracle Cloud SCM provides visibility into the supply chain operations and helps identify opportunities for improving efficiency, increasing revenue, reducing costs, and enhancing customer satisfaction.
Reporting Tools for Oracle Cloud SCM: What are some options?
In addition to the prebuilt solution that is part of Oracle Cloud SCM, businesses also use OTBI (Oracle Transactional Business Publisher), BI Publisher and similar tools for their reporting and analytical needs.
OTBI: OTBI is an intuitive, flexible, and secure tool that empowers managers to generate their own reports from Oracle Fusion without technical knowledge. It provides real-time insight into transactional data. It leverages web services to communicate with OLTP systems through ADF Entity and View Objects.
Business Intelligence Publisher: Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher reporting solution helps to separate data extraction from report layout using common desktop applications such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat to render XML data. A single template can be used to generate reports in many formats, including Excel, HTML, PDF, and RTF, and in many languages.
Oracle Analytics for SCM: In addition to the above two tools, there is also Oracle Analytics which is a wonderful tool to derive insights from data stored in Oracle Cloud SCM, but when you have to blend it with data from other non-Oracle sources it becomes a challenge.
Orbit’s Data Pipelines for Secure & Reliable Data Movement from Oracle Cloud SCM
As the first step to reporting, it is critical to move data residing in Oracle Cloud SCM into a centralized on-premise/cloud warehouse where reporting, analytics, and BI can be run. The question is what is the best way to move this data?
We believe that Orbit’s Data Pipelines is an intuitive solution that makes this data replication process seamless, reliable, and secure. How so?
Orbit’s pre-built connectors seamlessly integrate with Oracle Cloud SCM. Then this data can be moved into the centralized warehouse (if you don’t have your own, Orbit offers a warehouse as well) using our Data Pipeline.
Our Data Pipelines enable the following:
- Eliminates the need to invest in expensive data warehouses or extract, transform, load (ETL) tools
- Comes with an intuitive UI to control the frequency of data synchronization
- Offers the ability to extract data not only from Oracle Cloud SCM but also from other business applications including the ERP, HCM, CRM, and even on-premise sources
- Our ELT pipelines are designed for highly reliable data delivery. Our engineers have designed these pipelines to offer pre-built schemas and handle schema and API changes
- Our pipelines are built to maintain data integrity and avoid slippages such as broken records, corrupted files, or incomplete migration
- Last but not least, with Orbit’s Data Pipeline it is possible to schedule data sync jobs that have built-in capabilities to retry failed sync jobs
Once the data is moved, Orbit’s Reporting and Analytics solution make the following seamless:
- The reporting can be done from your existing BI applications like PowerBI or Tableau, or even Orbit BI. Our data pipeline can integrate seamlessly with these BI tools through connectors. The biggest advantage of Orbit’s Data Pipeline is our ability to easily connect and integrate with several BI tools.
- Orbit Pipelines can truly be complementary to your existing BI ecosystem. Even if you run several strategic BI initiatives on Power BI or Tableau, you may want to use Orbit BI for Operational Analytics. With our pipelines, data can be replicated into both these BI systems.
- If you want to continue to use BI publisher or OTBI for some of your reports, it is possible to run these reports directly from inside Orbit
- Orbit includes more than 300 pre-built reports that are certified for Oracle ERP Cloud. These reports cover key areas, including Oracle Financials, Supply Chain, and HCM in addition to ERP data
- It is possible to analyze data with the help of graphs, charts, pivots, and web-based tabular output data
- It is also possible to generate SCM-specific reports (with live data) from within Excel, using your Excel Add-in
