Collaborate With Partners
Up to 30% of brand production runs through contract suppliers such as co-packers and contract manufacturers. Nulogy Supplier Collaboration connects your planning system to real-time capacity, inventory, and production data from every external partner, improving collaboration and OTIF.
What Is Disconnected Planning?
Disconnected planning is what happens when a brand's planning system doesn't talk to the co-packers, contract manufacturers, and other external products bringing the product to market. According to Gartner research, only 8% of supply chain leaders say they have a clear, data-driven picture of both their internal and external supply chain. Everyone else is planning against a black box.
Closing that gap doesn't mean replacing your ERP or asking every partner to adopt a new system. It means connecting them, so capacity, inventory, and order status update in real time instead of arriving three days later in an email attachment.
Ways to Close the Planning Gap
See Every Partner's Capacity in One Place
Stop calling around to find out who has room for the next order. View and allocate capacity across your entire network of co-packers and contract manufacturers from a single screen, updated in real time.
Know Where Your Materials Actually Are
Replace the guessing game with one dashboard showing real-time, on-hand, and in-transit material status for every order, so a run doesn't stall waiting on a component you thought had already shipped.
Keep Every Partner on the Same BOM
Digitally enforced bill of materials management means a co-packer is always building to the current spec, not a version pulled from an old email thread.
Ditch the Phone Calls and Email Chains
Track milestones, watch live production progress, and resolve an issue with a co-packer in one app, instead of wading through email threads, calls, and meetings just to get a status update.
How Nulogy Supplier Collaboration Closes the Gap
Supplier Collaboration connects your planning system directly to real-time data from your network of co-packers, contract manufacturers, and other external partners, so capacity, inventory, and order status move automatically instead of by phone call. Because everyone works from the same live data, a demand planner can allocate an order with confidence instead of waiting on a confirmation email.
Collaboration Doesn’t Have to Stay a Black Box
