New Dashboard Software Provides Components for Entire Supply Chain

DALLAS -- Blue Sky Technologies, a premier provider of supply chain visibility solutions and services for retail, distribution, manufacturing and global companies, announced today the release of its latest version of Insight, a software program that provides executive-level decision data across all applications that make up a company's extended supply chain.

"We are very excited about our new version of Insight and encouraged by the preliminary response we are getting from customers," said Randy Marble, President of Blue Sky Technologies. "With the growing number of planning and execution applications required to manage a company's extended supply chain, it is imperative that management has a dashboard that can provide end-to-end visibility and resolution paths for supply chain issues in order to keep fulfillment channels flowing effectively and efficiently. Insight does that beautifully."

Insight provides visibility, alerts, and business intelligence data with associated resolution paths to all levels of management within an organization. It is designed to operate across multiple supply chain applications such as: demand, supply, inventory, and replenishment planning; product sourcing; and order, warehouse, yard, and transportation management.

"Unfortunately, some companies in this day and time are swimming in pools of data in which they can't sort useful information," continued Marble. "To alleviate this, Blue Sky designed a web portal-based solution that gives various levels of management critical data needed to manage their portion of the supply chain on an exception basis. We designed Insight to provide the appropriate level of data via end-user definable alerts, threshold graphs, historical trend analysis, and supply chain metric monitoring."

Insight was designed to be an enterprise level application and is written in J2EE. It comes out-of-the-box with pre-configured integration to some of the most respected supply chain applications in the industry with 121 predefined supply chain alerts and metrics gauges including:

- Potential Out of Stock Products
- Customer Being Shorted
- Expiring Product
- Outbound Order Status
- Revenue Comparisons (actual vs. average)
- Late Transportation Appointments
- Late Departing Shipments
