A global consumer goods manufacturer

The Challenge

The manufacturer had zero real-time visibility into their supply chain spanning 200+ suppliers across 60 countries. Disruptions were discovered days after they occurred, causing stockouts and excess inventory. They needed a platform that could track 500,000+ daily shipments in real-time.

Our Solution

We tested the supply chain visibility platform including EDI integration testing with 200+ trading partners, GPS and IoT tracking data validation, predictive disruption analytics, and multi-tenant architecture for supplier collaboration. Our testing covered data accuracy, latency, and system resilience across global time zones.

In today’s global economy, supply chain visibility isn’t just an efficiency gain — it’s a competitive necessity. The COVID-19 pandemic made this painfully clear as companies with limited visibility were caught flat-footed by disruptions.

EDI integration testing was the most complex aspect of this engagement. Each of the 200+ trading partners had slightly different EDI implementations, message formats, and communication protocols that needed to work seamlessly.

The predictive disruption analytics were validated against 3 years of historical supply chain data, including known disruption events. The model successfully predicted 87% of historical disruptions in blind testing.

Multi-tenant architecture testing ensured that suppliers could access only their own data while the manufacturer maintained a consolidated view. We conducted thorough access control testing to prevent any cross-tenant data leakage.
