material.one is the first supply chain collaboration platform of its kind
With material.one all stakeholders can collaborate a standardized manner in a compliance conforming way based on the "need to know". As an industry cloud platform, material.one provides information on material and material sampling, percentage of recycled material, certificates as well as CO₂ footprint information.
An example of a large supply network - the manufacturing industry
The last station in the supply network that delivers the products to end customers is the OEM manufacturer. If an OEM were to drop out of the network, supply networks offer security. Although there would then be a large gap, this would not lead to any major disruption. The network absorbs the failure. In this way, all participants jointly achieve higher quality, innovation and performance.
Although a lot of data is already collected and used digitally and electronically by the network participants, it is not sufficiently linked with each other - the data is stored in silos, processed sequentially and in formats that are not compatible with each other. This makes it more difficult to find correlations and identify potential for improvement. In the long term, this leads to greater complexity and susceptibility to errors.
In established networks, trust and open communication are common - one more reason for companies to further expand their network!
