One Network Enterprises, a global provider of multi-party digital network platform and services, recently announced that The Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PFSCM)—a nonprofit organization providing global procurement and distribution services for low- and middle-income countries—has implemented One Network's Supply Chain Control Tower solution to advance its end-to-end supply chain visibility.
According to spokesmen, PFSCM has a long history of innovating and driving fundamental improvements in the performance of global health supply chains.
Spokesmen added that it is migrating critical requisition, order, and transportation management functions into its existing One Network Real Time Value Network (RTVN) decision-making supply chain suite.
“Our goal is to strengthen, develop, and manage secure, reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable global supply chains to improve the lives of people in underdeveloped countries,” said Richard Owens, PFSCM Director. “By extending One Network's Control Tower capabilities on our RTVN, we can provide real-time visibility, digital collaboration, and advanced analytics to move to true data-driven decision-making. Our collaboration with One Network is central to PFSCM's digital transformation and provides us the foundation we need to drive the next wave of innovation within global supply chains for public health.”
In an interview with SCMR, Owens said that PFSCM first conducted an internal evaluation of its existing systems, plus a landscape analysis of what potential solutions existed before making the deal.
“The evaluation produced six scenarios, consisting of different combination of three systems,” he said. “The first recommendation was to go with One Network, which was accepted first by PFSCM's management team, and then by PFSCM's Board, who approved the project budget last September.
According to Greg Brady, CEO of One Network, leveraging the One Network RTVN and new Control Tower solution, PFSCM is now able to manage freight costs through digital oversight of complex rates/contracts across multiple freight forwarders, and automate freight quotes via PFSCM's proprietary freight calculator and load optimization tool.
“Working with country governments, humanitarian agencies, non‐governmental organizations, and leaders in the pharmaceutical industry, PFSCM seeks to develop and manages secure, cost‐effective, and sustainable global supply chains,” he added.
