New Intelligent Digital Supply Chain Cloud
Platform and Application Suite Drive Speed and Business Agility
with Unmatched Visibility, Advanced Risk Management and Instant
Collaboration
Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE: JBL) today introduced InControl, a
new Supply Chain SaaS Decision Support platform that delivers
meaningful business insights, enabling companies to compete at the
speed of innovation and commerce in the digital economy. With
InControl, customers can quickly and easily connect, collect and
validate vast amounts of supply chain data to realize tangible
business outcomes throughout the product lifecycle, including
slashing inventory and time-to-market by up to 50 percent while
reducing product lead times and costs by up to 30 percent.
“Today’s supply chains and tools aren’t architected to
effectively address all of the requirements our customers need to
compete and win in an increasingly digital ecosystem,” said Don
Hnatyshin, SVP and chief supply chain and procurement officer for
Jabil. “InControl was designed for, and by, supply chain
practitioners to provide the real-time intelligence, visibility and
analytics our customers have been asking for so they can move with
B2C speed and agility in a B2B world.”
Jabil’s InControl SaaS is a multi-tenant, intelligent digital
supply chain cloud platform that provides ubiquitous connectivity,
advanced analytics and machine learning technologies to optimize
real-time decision-making for supply chain practitioners. The cloud
platform also ingests structured and unstructured data across the
entire ecosystem, connecting with ERP, MRP, sales & operations
planning, transportation, financial reporting, and third-party
content providers, including weather, geo-mapping and other
software.
New Application Suite Drives End-to-End Global Supply Chain
Performance
In concert with the cloud platform, Jabil has developed five
integrated applications to provide much-needed visibility,
collaboration, risk management and diagnostics:
- Supply Chain Visibility: Gain
valuable insight through real-time reports and alerts on orders,
compliance, event risk, problem resolution and financial
performance
- Event Risk: Minimize loss from
unforeseen disruptions by recovering faster through instant alerts,
impact analyses and detailed recovery options
- Design for Supply Chain:
Understand the impact of different product decisions and avoid
high-risk components through early assessments during product
design and prototyping stage
- Risk Management: Reduce
vulnerability and ensure proactive continuity through dynamic and
customized risk scoring that weighs availability, complexity,
delivery and other critical supply chain risk factors
- Supply Chain Diagnostics: Gain
deep actionable insights across the demand and supply network to
improve sourcing and partner collaboration while delivering root
cause analysis of missed KPIs and key metrics
“Jabil InControl provides an upfront, end-to-end supply chain
analysis that helps us achieve the total landed cost on our broad
product portfolio,” said Ed Tymick, vice president of global
operations for Coriant. “Real-time business insights guide
decisions on where to build and distribute our game-changing
telecom solutions while addressing key localization factors that
impact sourcing, procurement and manufacturing of sub-materials and
components to reduce overall costs and product lead times.”
Strategic Partnership with PwC
As part of its go-to-market model, Jabil’s specialized supply
chain, procurement and professional services will assist customers
in deploying InControl. Additionally, Jabil has entered into a
joint business relationship with PwC, a leading professional
services and advisory firm, to integrate the InControl Supply Chain
SaaS Supply Chain Decision Support solution in its ongoing digital
transformation advisory, supply chain planning and management
consulting services.
“Digital transformation of the supply chain must be about
readiness, return and relevance,” said Simon Ellis, program vice
president, Supply Chain Strategies, IDC. “Making investments
in technology and platforms will help companies achieve early-mover
advantage. Jabil’s InControl SaaS helps address critical business
requirements with its visibility, risk and collaboration
capabilities for enabling intelligent decision support across the
entire digital supply chain.”
