New Intelligent Digital Supply Chain Cloud Platform and Application
Suite Drive Speed and Business Agility with Unmatched Visibility,
Advanced Risk Management and Instant Collaboration
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jabil
Circuit, Inc. (NYSE: JBL) today introduced InControl,
a new Supply Chain SaaS Decision Support platform that delivers
meaningful business insights, enabling companies to compete at the speed
of innovation and commerce in the digital economy. With InControl,
customers can quickly and easily connect, collect and validate vast
amounts of supply chain data to realize tangible business outcomes
throughout the product lifecycle, including slashing inventory and
time-to-market by up to 50 percent while reducing product lead times and
costs by up to 30 percent.
"Today's supply chains and tools aren't architected to effectively
address all of the requirements our customers need to compete and win in
an increasingly digital ecosystem," said Don Hnatyshin, SVP and chief
supply chain and procurement officer for Jabil. "InControl was designed
for, and by, supply chain practitioners to provide the real-time
intelligence, visibility and analytics our customers have been asking
for so they can move with B2C speed and agility in a B2B world."
Jabil's InControl SaaS is a multi-tenant, intelligent digital supply
chain cloud platform that provides ubiquitous connectivity, advanced
analytics and machine learning technologies to optimize real-time
decision-making for supply chain practitioners. The cloud platform also
ingests structured and unstructured data across the entire ecosystem,
connecting with ERP, MRP, sales & operations planning, transportation,
financial reporting, and third-party content providers, including
weather, geo-mapping and other software.
New Application Suite Drives End-to-End Global Supply Chain
Performance
In concert with the cloud platform, Jabil has developed five integrated
applications to provide much-needed visibility, collaboration, risk
management and diagnostics:
-
Supply Chain Visibility: Gain valuable insight through
real-time reports and alerts on orders, compliance, event risk,
problem resolution and financial performance
-
Event Risk: Minimize loss from unforeseen disruptions by
recovering faster through instant alerts, impact analyses and detailed
recovery options
-
Design for Supply Chain: Understand the impact of different
product decisions and avoid high-risk components through early
assessments during product design and prototyping stage
-
Risk Management: Reduce vulnerability and ensure proactive
continuity through dynamic and customized risk scoring that weighs
availability, complexity, delivery and other critical supply chain
risk factors
-
Supply Chain Diagnostics: Gain deep actionable insights across
the demand and supply network to improve sourcing and partner
collaboration while delivering root cause analysis of missed KPIs and
key metrics
"Jabil InControl provides an upfront, end-to-end supply chain analysis
that helps us achieve the total landed cost on our broad product
portfolio," said Ed Tymick, vice president of global operations for
Coriant. "Real-time business insights guide decisions on where to build
and distribute our game-changing telecom solutions while addressing key
localization factors that impact sourcing, procurement and manufacturing
of sub-materials and components to reduce overall costs and product lead
times."
Strategic Partnership with PwC
As part of its go-to-market model, Jabil's specialized supply chain,
procurement and professional services will assist customers in deploying
InControl. Additionally, Jabil has entered into a joint business
relationship with PwC, a leading professional services and advisory
firm, to integrate the InControl Supply Chain SaaS Supply Chain Decision
Support solution in its ongoing digital transformation advisory, supply
chain planning and management consulting services.
"Digital transformation of the supply chain must be about readiness,
return and relevance," said Simon Ellis, program vice president, Supply
Chain Strategies, IDC. "Making investments in technology and platforms
will help companies achieve early-mover advantage. Jabil's InControl
SaaS helps address critical business requirements with its visibility,
risk and collaboration capabilities for enabling intelligent decision
support across the entire digital supply chain."

Beginning in the third quarter, Jabil's InControl SaaS platform and
applications will be generally available for customer implementations.
The platform and applications will be priced on a per month/per
