Announcing AWS Supply Chain N-Tier Visibility

Today, AWS announces the general availability of the AWS Supply Chain N-Tier Visibility module that streamlines communication between customers and multiple tiers of suppliers, improving their ability to more accurately respond to supply plans, as well as manage demand or supply changes during the execution window. With this capability, customers can invite and onboard trading partners in just a few clicks. Trading partners can then automate communication with their customers and improve their own forecasts.

Supply chain planners spend a lot of time reconciling forecasts, order confirmations, and shipment quantities from many different layers of trading partners, such as suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Furthermore, trading partner responses to customer requests for data vary in quality, frequency, timeliness, and structure, and are not always systematically tracked or audited. With this launch, customers can share purchase orders and demand forecasts with their trading partners, and then track the status of those purchase orders or changing inventory levels, all from within AWS Supply Chain N-Tier Visibility. The updated supply plans and purchase orders are exported to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), so customers can integrate them with their ERP systems. With N-Tier Visibility, customers can better manage their upstream supply chain processes for collaboration on purchase orders and component forecasts.

AWS Supply Chain N-Tier Visibility is available to customers in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), and Asia Pacific (Sydney) regions.
