Identifying high-value technology for you

Many businesses struggle to navigate the vast potential of technology for their supply chain. The sheer number of emerging options can be overwhelming. We help bridge that gap. We'll take you through the possibilities and identify solutions that provide a competitive edge. From streamlining operations to achieving compliance and bolstering sustainability, you will get actionable data to unlock the full potential of your supply chain.

Data transparency

We understand the specific needs of retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers. This allows us to extract the most valuable information from supply chain data, turning "tribal knowledge" into measurable metrics. Through user-friendly dashboards, reports, and alerts, we deliver actionable insights that empower you to:

Ensure product integrity:

Track temperature, shock, humidity, and location throughout the supply chain, from packing to store shelves.

Optimize logistics:

Receive exception-based alerts for at-risk shipments and optimize routing based on traffic patterns and demand.

Predict and prevent issues:

Utilize predictive analytics to identify and mitigate potential problems before they occur.

Improve inventory management:

Enforce “first in, first out” and other inventory practices to ensure optimal stock levels.

Measure performance:

Track performance and compliance of suppliers, distribution centers, retailers, stores, and even Tosca itself.

Maximize sales:

Gain real-time insights into Point of Sale (POS) placement and activity, confirming promotional effectiveness.

Responsive, integrated demand planning

The demand planning processes often occur in silos, not utilizing all available information. We can help you achieve end-to-end planning transparency with dashboards inside your environment or through the Tosca HUB, which supports one-way or two-way APIs with your existing demand planning tools. This results in:

Supplier flexibility for retailers
Optimization of inter-company opportunities
Real-time planning and predictive planning
Greater accuracy and shorter cycle times
Automation of physical tasks associated with planning

Supply chain efficiency

Many operations rely on intuition rather than data-driven decision-making due to a lack of ability to turn the numerous data points into actionable insights or the lack of the data itself. The biggest gap in both tends to be data about the goods in transit from the supplier to the distribution center to the retail store. We can help fill those gaps by providing raw data or customized dashboards to improve your understanding of:

Inventory optimization
Dynamic routing
Automating repeatable tasks
Real-time management with alerts
Trend reporting to measure supplier, DC, and store efficiencies to identify areas for improvement

Regulatory compliance

As regulations about sustainable practices and food safety increase, technology can be used to ensure compliance and prevent recalls that can cause damage to your reputation. Implementing technology can help you with the following:

Real-time cold chain monitoring
Tracking where products cross borders and where compliance rules may differ
Ensuring accuracy in taxation across different countries
Proof of delivery of goods
Knowing foods that maybe a threat to safety when they are in transit
Compliance education

Sustainability through technology

As a sustainability-based service provider, we are mindful of how tech use impacts the environment. Circularity is a consideration in our solutions, and we seek physical tech—such as tracking devices and batteries—that is easier to repair and more recyclable. Inside Tosca, technology is also used to monitor water and energy usage and to reduce CO2 emissions via optimized routing.
