MANUFACTURING

Software AG gives you a clearer view of your supply chain

Could manufacturing possibly get more complex? You simply can't manage what you can't see and you can't forecast what you can't predict. Software AG offers real-time demand and supply visibility, plus the agility to create the perfect "demand-driven" enterprise heralded by industry analysts.

In fact, our Process Excellence Software is helping 19 of the Gartner Top 25 Supply Chains to outperform their competition.  These organizations are achieving end-to-end, real-time visibility and control across their supply chain.  They are now able to pinpoint problems in minutes rather than days, and can measure the Key Performance Indicators that are most important to them.
