Businesses started collecting data years ago during the technology boom, but as the use of data systems became more prominent, the number of technologies used to manage also multiplied.

Now, most supply chains, typically using three or four legacy platforms, need options to manage more data better, increasing the demand for data integration.

WHAT IS DATA INTEGRATION?

Data integration is the consolidation of data from multiple sources and systems, either manually or through automated processes, to make it consistent and usable for managing and improving different business functions.

For example: A purchase order accepted in a purchasing system can be automatically fed into a booking queue within a TMS (transportation management system)

Data can be consolidated to allow it to flow from system-to-system, cutting the risk of data integrity issues or wasting precious work hours on data entry.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF DATA INTEGRATION AVAILABLE IN GEM?

Green Engineering Management (GEM) is able to accept nearly all formats of data with or without additional integration, depending on needs. Our built-in solutions generate data integrations creating connectors that can handle any type of data formats.

These connectors transform supply chain data formats to the optimized output within any range of segments, allowing our system to process and display the output of your data without any loss of information.

DATA FORMATS AVAILABLE

• Direct API (Application Programming Interface) integration
• Data formats
  • .txt
  • .xlsx
  • .xml
  • .csv
  • Other applicable formats

GEM can also push data back out to other external systems:

• Customer ERP
• Transportation systems
• Warehouse systems
• Other applicable systems

Once desired systems are integrated with GEM, the power of reporting on the input data becomes exponential.  This level of customization turns all data into usable data for insights into executive KPI’s (key performance indicator) dashboards, vendor performance, and shipment inventory – all available for export manually or with seamless integration into your system.

Bottom line – data integrations may save your company time and money, provide you with direct real-time access to information, and will enhance your supply chain processes.

Don’t miss out on the conversation of data integration. Our GEM team is here to help you and your company in every step of the way, before, during and after the data integration process!
