As a culture of "bring your own device" takes hold in the business world, solutions providers face the challenge of ensuring that their applications work well on a variety of operating systems, says Mike Maris, senior director for transportation and logistics at Motorola Solutions.

Challenge: When an opportunity presented itself with a very large retailer looking for a logistics partner and technology platform to manage their inbound business process, our client knew it was time to act.

Challenge: Improving the experience of customers is the goal of every supply chain - and a smooth, transparent order process is critical to that experience. As a Fortune 100 manufacturer known for quality, our client had to ensure their customers had the best experience possible, which meant gaining greater control and visibility over their order process to pinpoint and prevent problems.

Challenge: Our client approached CDM with a problem related to product visibility and compliance. Our client had just received a penalty notice from CBP regarding non-compliance of importer security filing. Our client had outsourced the importer security filing to a third party and because of the erroneous filings; our client was stuck with handling and mitigating the CBP penalties.

Challenge: In today's market with increased customer service demands on top of escalating operating costs, it's imperative to develop streamlined processes to drive operational efficiency in supply chain operations. A major retailer with home delivery service learned just how much impact the proper technology solution can have when they chose Descartes as a partner. They were challenged with a manual delivery planning process that had proven inefficient and lack of visibility into activities on the road was detrimental to their customer service.

Challenge: DiCentral aided a major North American retailer in the development of new EDI specifications that followed industry best practices and VICS standards, and then helped the retailer implement these specifications with their respective vendor communities.

Challenge: In a highly competitive transportation market, with growing demands from all parties in the supply chain, transportation solutions become more individual and complex. Therefore, trustworthy and flexible logistics is more in focus now than ever before. Four Soft is empowering an international freight management company with the power to act according to their customers' individual needs.

Challenge: The second largest distributor of wine and spirits in the US, our client operates in a tightly regulated industry with outdated business processes and systems, and was challenged by a lack of visibility to inbound orders from its global vendors and suppliers. In addition, the company's manual order and shipment tracking processes frequently led to significant delays and difficulty in determining accurate inventory levels and expected arrival dates, leading to reactive expediting and additional intra-company transportation moves.

Challenge: Our client, a large manufacturer of interconnect products, deployed InfinityQS software in its military/aerospace division. The application allows users to conduct extensive comparative quality data analysis throughout the enterprise and across the supply chain.

Challenge: A large retail customer spent several years and millions of dollars trying to get end-to-end, item level visibility across their global supply chain. After two CIOs and expensive software write offs, they turned to GT Nexus because we offered a radical alternative to traditional software.
