Deliverables in a Snapshot
Some Case Studies
One of the largest global Telecom Service Provider was in the process of massive Infrastructural Expansion. Over 3000 sites are commissioned or upgraded every month and around 20,000 items had to be made available on time. Planning process was manual leading excess inventory, deployment delays and poor visibility of Site Readiness. rhythm 2.0 was used for end to end Supply Planning to optimize Sourcing, Inter Unit Transfer and Purchase Rescheduling decisions. Site Readiness Visibility and Analytics was also provided. Beyond this, a large number of Suppliers collaborated for getting deployment visibility and for submitting their shipments.
