Savi Technology's SmartChain CMA solution certified

Lockheed Martin's Savi Technology announced that its SmartChain Consignment Management Application (CMA) software platform version 6.0 achieved SAP certification as powered by the SAP NetWeaver technology platform.

SmartChain CMA integrates with SAP solutions to provide a complete, automated solution that synchronises supply chain planning and execution operations for defense, public sector and commercial customers.

The certified integration enables SmartChain CMA platform and applications for asset, shipment and consignment management to link supply chain visibility information in-transit and on-site with sophisticated operational planning tools.

As a result, customers running SmartChain CMA together with SAP solutions can more quickly adjust their supplies and deliveries to changes in demand or situational requirements.

In addition, SmartChain CMA linked to sensor-based data provides greater awareness of asset conditions and security status. Automated alerts report on unplanned events as they happen, and supply chain partners can share information when needed.

"SmartChain CMA now integrated with SAP solutions helps bridge gaps among planning, inventorying, tracking and delivery processes, enabling more streamlined, predictable, responsive and cost-effective supply chains," said John McFadyen, senior vice president of Savi Technology's International Operations. "From NATO defense forces to commercial businesses like the oil and gas industry, SmartChain CMA is now enriched by this integration to provide an offering that drives even greater value throughout the full life cycle of physical assets as well as their management across the end-to-end supply chain."

McFadyen added that the solution is tailor-made to drive added value for the defense, aerospace, defense supplier, humanitarian relief, maintenance repair and overhaul and original equipment manufacturer sectors.
