InterSystems Track and Trace Brings Intelligent Supply Chain Visibility

Gain Intelligent Supply Chain Visibility

Supply chains face constant disruptions, from weather events and geopolitical disruptions to labour shortages and capacity issues. Decision intelligence can help by using AI, machine learning, and simulations to predict outcomes, weigh scenarios, and recommend the best course of action to overcome these disruptions.

Track and trace is the ability to monitor the movement of goods or items throughout the global supply chain, providing visibility through both real-time and historical location and status information. While supply chain visibility gives you real-time data on inventory, shipments, delays, and demand, the ability to act on this data is crucial. Decision intelligence bridges the gap between raw data and strategic actions, adding a layer of contextual understanding and recommendations.

Decision Intelligence: The Visibility Difference

InterSystems now brings decision intelligence-enabled track and trace capabilities to your supply chain through its partnership with Descartes MacroPoint™. The need to know where your products are (whether in transport to the warehouse, port, store, manufacturing plant, or customer), when delays occur, and be alerted to these delays, is critical to ensure a positive customer experience. InterSystems provides a single source of truth with full interconnected supply chain visibility to anticipate, simulate, and activate your next move. AI-based actionable insights make recommendations to solve problems before they occur.

Track and Trace Cloud Service with Descartes MacroPoint

Data Integration Key to Achieving Needed Breakthroughs in Healthcare When peers from other industries ask why data hasn’t driven comparable breakthroughs in healthcare, the answer is usually hiding in plain sight: clinical and administrative data still live in different systems and “speak” different digital languages. Integrating them is a prerequisite for the next wave of progress—better care, better patient experience, and better operational performance at the same time. Fortunately, there are now multiple mandates spurring this integration, from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requiring Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources APIs, to National Committee for Quality Assurance embracing digital quality measures, to enforcement of prohibitions against information blocking. Health plans and providers, however, must guard against swapping these two longstanding data siloes for several new ones.

Overview An eye surgery center was losing patients. Not to competitors, but to no-shows. Eighteen percent of scheduled appointments went unfilled every week. Four full-time staff members spent their days calling roughly 500 patients, trying to confirm appointments. When that didn't work, the clinic overbooked randomly, hoping the math would balance out. Some days every patient showed up, and the waiting room was chaos. Other days slots sat empty.
