Alkan Telecom Offerings in MRL

Our solution & service offerings in the MRL space leverage our proprietary Xtended Supply Chain (xSCM™) framework, and span the entire industry value chain. The solution set includes:

Order Visibility Systems

The Alkan Telecom Order Visibility Application (OVA) extends across your complete supply chain and provides near real-time visibility of your outsourced processes – for instance - OVA provides seamless visibility to the buyers/stakeholders of their order management process across multiple suppliers & channels upstream.

OVA acts as a ‘Process Control' system for your chain and helps you improve visibility of your partner supplies, reduce buffer inventories and expedite costs.

Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) System

The Alkan Telecom SCEM system offers a dashboard view of planned vs. actual performance of major supply chain events. Our SCEM engine overlays various “function/operation systems”, and provides intelligent alerts for various events/non-events across the chain. Based on embedded business rules these alerts can further automatically trigger actions/notifications for corrective steps in the business/enterprise systems - helping you to significantly cut downtime and reduce costs.
