The computer consulting industry can be broken into two major segments: supplemental staffing and project-oriented firms.  Most staffing firms provide technical services across a range of engagements and are driven to maximize billable hours.  In this role they will seldom take full responsibility for the solution to a client problem.  Exponential is not a staffing company.   At the other extreme the "Big Six" consulting firms specialize in re-engineering their clients' basic business practices.  Unlike the "Big Six" Exponential focuses on integrating technical business solutions so that they complement and enhance existing business practices which in turn leads to further business opportunities for the client organization to evaluate and act upon.   Many project-oriented firms our size concentrate on a specific vertical marketplace and often sell software and hardware along with expertise.  Exponential provides project-oriented technical services across a wide range of industries.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) Systems

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the combination of art and science that goes into improving the way your company finds the raw components it needs to make a product or service, manufactures that product or service and delivers it to customers.

Supply chain management flows can be divided into three main flows:

  • The Product Flow
  • The Information Flow
  • The Financial Flow
The Product Flow includes the movement of goods from a supplier to a customer, as well as any customer returns or service needs. The Information Flow involves transmitting orders and updating the status of delivery. The Financial Flow consists of credit terms, payment schedules, and consignment and title ownership arrangements.

There are two main types of SCM software: planning applications and execution applications. Planning applications use advanced algorithms to determine the best way to fill an order. Execution applications track the physical status of goods, the management of materials, and financial information involving all parties.

Some SCM applications are based on open data models that support the sharing of data both inside and outside the enterprise (including key suppliers, manufacturers, and end customers of a specific company). This shared data may reside in diverse database systems, or data warehouses, at several different sites and companies.

By sharing this data "upstream" (with a company's suppliers) and "downstream" (with a company's clients), SCM applications have the potential to improve the time-to-market of products, reduce costs, and allow all parties in the supply chain to better manage current resources and plan for future needs.

Exponential Technologies recognizes our customers’ needs for SCM solutions which would release entrapped value in the supply chain and facilitate collaboration between both the internal and external stakeholders of the company. We are focused on creating solutions which help our clients address key issues like purchasing, inbound logistics, operations, warehouse management, outbound logistics, and demand management. Exponential can integrate your organization's existing systems and/or create custom SCM solutions which will derive new efficiencies and enhance your current supply chain processes.
