Common issues on the supply side include; lack of adequate visibility across the supply chain, limited capability to plan and control each tier, of the supply chain, a function necessary to be responsive in the marketplace. Excessive expediting efforts, missed volume discounts due to lack of vendor tracking, stock-outs and idle times due to missed vendor deliveries, inventory build up for critical items to meet requirements, excess inventory costs and others. StarActive's supply side capability includes; supply planning, collaborative procurement, supply aggregation, supply chain inventory visibility, purchase order tracking, collaborative supply planning and supplier coordination, cash outflow optimisation, purchase order track and trace.
