Sockeye Supply Chain has introduced its Allegro Suite with modules for inbound and outbound supply chain management, inventory management, demand management and supply chain event management.

The new Allegro Suite provides enterprises with a range of supply chain management capabilities, including features to enable collaboration and inventory visibility.

The Allegro Suite is built on a service oriented architecture (SOA) platform and includes these modules:

Allegro Inbound - Sockeye's inbound supply chain planning module is focused on providing visibility and decision support to manage the replenishment of parts inventory from suppliers to manufacturers. It includes a dynamic replenishment feature that allows for the co-management of inventory levels by the supplier and manufacturer to dynamically address any inventory level discrepancies in real-time. Additionally, the module supports multiple replenishment methods based on the supplier/buyer relationship (e.g., strategic vs. non-strategic) and whether the part is critical/constrained or non-strategic.

Allegro Outbound - Sockeye's outbound supply chain planning module is focused on the planning and monitoring of finished goods inventory movement through the outbound supply chain. For operations planning, the outbound module allows creation of constraint-based production and shipment plans to synchronize supply and demand. For execution, the module provides the visibility and decision support to monitor and resolve problems caused by day-to-day disruptions to production, shipment and inventory plans, Sockeye said.

Allegro Inventory Management - Sockeye's inventory management module enables enterprises to generate inventory targets for any location in the inbound or outbound supply chain. The module supports multiple methods of generating inventory targets to support items in different stages of their lifecycle and different inventory management strategies.

Allegro Demand Management - Sockeye's demand management solution enables enterprises to generate forecasts for finished goods. The forecasts are used to drive operational planning of the outbound supply chain. The module also supports consensus forecasting to promote alignment between sales and operations.

Allegro SCEM - Sockeye said its supply chain event management (SCEM) module is a very flexible tool for addressing a wide range of time critical synchronization problems using real-time supply chain events, alert notification and problem ticketing.
