International Business Systems (IBS), an application supplier for wholesale and distribution, has unveiled a new package of business intelligence (BI) software offerings, IBS Distribution Intelligence, which is designed for the specific requirements of wholesale and distribution.
The IBS Distribution Intelligence, part of the IBS Enterprise Distribution Management application suite, is a set of integrated planning, real-time monitoring and performance improvement management-tools.
According to IBS, the new business intelligence tool provides capabilities to improve, run and plan for distirbution processes. The suite has features including Planners, a set of graphical planning tools for forecasting, modelling and planning at all levels of demand, supply, and sales and operations planning (S&OP); Activity Monitor allows information to be extracted and combined with online information for viewing on-screen, on paper or integrated with other PC applications such as spreadsheets, email or HTML.
In addition, the IBS Performance Manager collects and organises data from IBS Enterprise and other sources, to allow users to rearrange information, run reports and analyse historical information.
Andy Bailey, chief marketing officer at IBS, said: “This launch of our new Distribution Intelligence offerings is the first of several such important announcements in the coming few months. As the leader in Distribution Resource Management software we know what makes distribution tick, and having the right information at the right time and at the fingertips of the right people is the key.”
