Disruption-Proof Your Supply Chain with Low-Code

The best way to boost your supply chain predictability, agility, and resiliency

You'll Be in Good Company

Preserve your profits with low-code

As global trade becomes more intricately intertwined, the smallest supply chain disruption can send crippling shockwaves throughout the world economy. While supply chain disruptions come in all flavors—severe weather, labor unrest, natural disasters, factory malfunctions—they all result in one thing: a loss of revenue. In fact, due to supply chain problems manufacturers lose an average of 42% of one year’s earnings on average over a decade (before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization).

To preserve your revenue stream, you need to build predictability, agility, and resiliency into your supply chain

A low-code development platform can help you:

Fortify your digital ecosystem so you can react dynamically to supply and demand fluctuations
Boost your supply chain agility so you can quickly implement reshoring, rerouting, and rebalancing strategies
Expand your capabilities to adopt emerging technologies and integrate them into your business processes
Personalize applications so each worker can access tools tailor-made to their job processes

How Mendix transforms your supply chain and logistics management

Automate processes

The number and diversity of processes in supply chain and logistics management— demand, supply network, warehouse, purchasing, transportation, inventory, contracts—can lead to a highly fragmented and disjointed system. Low-code applications like Mendix Smart Warehousing automate your processes to keep your supply chain management running smoothly, quickly, and consistently.

Increase collaboration

Like the number of processes, the broad range of stakeholders involved in supply chain management—product design, quality management, procurement, supply, logistics—can be difficult to navigate. The Mendix low-code platform—and apps such as Supplier Collaboration—streamlines enterprise-wide collaboration through standardized and harmonized insights, actions, and statuses.

Sharpen risk assessment

The sooner you can anticipate supply chain disruptions, the easier you can deal with them. Low-code apps like Mendix Supply Risk Management increase risk visibility and transparency so you can prevent supply shortages, improve document process flow, and make timely production planning adjustments. At the same time, they support easy and efficient collaboration between plant management, the procurement manager, and the buyers.

Support convergence

Demand fluctuations and capacity restraints along the supply chain can lead manufacturers to outsource one or more of their production steps to external vendors. But that often leaves manufacturers in the dark when it comes to crucial processes in their value chain. Low-code apps like Mendix Outsource Production Step give manufacturers visibility into outsourced production steps by converging their processes with their vendors’.
