Chemical

Enterprises need continued focus on improving productivity and operational efficiency. While product flow and customer service are important, so is compliance with environment, health, and safety regulations.

3STechServe enhances the supply chain ecosystem of chemical, bulk material, and specialty chemical manufacturers. We replace legacy planning systems with advanced supply chain technology. It provides better visibility into raw materials, co-products, manufacturing facilities, distribution networks, and stocking locations. We identify capacity constraints while maximizing asset utilization across the chemical manufacturing landscape.

Our supply chain solutions enable collaborative demand planning and scheduling. Traceability enables prompt response to unforeseen events and disruptions across the supply chain. Our ‘NOW’ accelerators incorporate multi-tier demand prioritization logic across supply planning and order promising. It facilitates consensus planning, aggregate planning, campaign (product wheel) planning, push production, tank scheduling, and comprehensive safety stock modeling.

3STechserve (3ST) partners with Chemicalmanufacturers across the value chain for:

  • Automate trade processes
  • Centralize planning to accelerate turnaround and eliminate non-value-added activities across the planning cycle
  • Synchronize production and distribution to rationalize replenishment and manage inventory
  • Improve demand planning and forecasting to avoid stock-out and minimize the cost of order fulfillment
  • Enable secure interface with state and federal systems for smooth import/export
  • Ensure sustainability across the business process portfolio including business planning, supply chain execution, sourcing, and procurement
  • Adaptive and advanced analytics for sustainable growth

CPG and Retail

Supply chains of Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) companies and retailers have been transformed by shifts in technology, social media, and consumer preferences. CPG companies and retailers need to adopt an agile supply chain to sense and respond to dynamic purchase behaviors, demand-supply fluctuations, and product lifecycles while minimizing costs.

Advanced tools can sense demand, identify spend categories, and provide better supply chain visibility. They ultimately improve inventory management. Our approach goes beyond simply refining customer service and inventory optimization—we balance demand with supply on a robust Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) platform. The process also improves demand-forecasting accuracy, streamlines warehouse operations, and maximizes utilization of plants and distribution centers.

3STechserve (3ST) offers solutions for merchandising, product lifecycle management, store operations, and collaborative commerce. Our automated systems for planning and execution improve organizational efficiencies and boost sales.

We optimize the supply chain network, ensuring seamless collaboration between stakeholders for personalized customer service. It is also important to synchronize in-store, online, and mobile applications for consistent consumer experience.

3STechserve (3ST) helps CPG and Retail enterprises achieve business goals through:

  • Planning and optimization (demand, supply, production, and order fulfillment)
  • Sales and operations planning
  • Merchandise and replenishment planning
  • Planograms and assortment optimization
  • Omni-channel fulfillment and reverse logistics
  • Mobile Point-of-Sale (POS) and payment systems
  • Spend and supply chain predictive analytics
  • Customer experience management
  • Transforming organization in digital enterprise
