Achieve true end to end supply chain visibility.

PROMPT END TO END VISIBILITY POC SUMMARY

BCOs recent visibility initiatives didn’t generate expected return on investment because:


  • No visibility solution was selected
  • The chosen solution lacks necessary end to end connectivity
  • The chosen solution didn't solve your company's problem(s)

1 - Proof of concept (POC)

With our proposed proof of concept (POC) approach, Prompt wants to prove that end-to-end visibility solutions are affordable, can generate the expected ROI, and are worth implementing.

2 - The results of the POC

Should provide a clear decision basis and lead to a “go” or “no-go” decision and provide an outlook on what a partnership with Prompt would look like.

3 - How it works?

POC will run on production system and successful POC can be switched LIVE on the fly.

4 - Key facts:

90 days duration

1 ERP + 3 carrier Interfaces

5 Users for 25k€

Starting Position - Why Now?

BCOs...

Are currently focusing on cost cutting but understand the value end to end supply chain management solutions bring to their organization.

Have spent lots of money and time evaluating different visibility solutions during the last 2-3 years in hopes of improving supply chain transparency and resilience.

And either:

Didn’t make a decision because implementation and software costs were too expensive.

Made a decision but realize now that the chosen vendor cannot provide the needed connectivity to carriers and platforms.

Or are hoping for their active visibility initiatives to generate a return on investment.
