Information: Clear, Simple, Fast
Why is it so important?
Information: Clear, Simple, Fast
These are all pressures on the need to be effective with the presentation of that information: the user-interface. Intuitive, visual UIs help users find, digest and respond to information much more efficiently and engages the user at the same time.
As they say, ‘A picture can be worth a thousand words,’ but worth a lot more when you can drill down and manipulate that picture to give you the information you need, how you need it, and still have easy access to the supporting data within that context. Fixed Report formats certainly have their place but can be too rigid.
The Top-level, drill-down approach with visuals can make a much more effective and informed trade, financial or board meeting. The ability to interact with a summary chart, further analyze in real-time with fast access to the supporting information during discussions is much better than the "Let me get back to you" approach.
When you need it most
Tools such as Dashboards are simple and effective in presenting your Key Performance Indicators. Role-specific content and Saved User Preferences ensure business relevance and therefore easier user-acceptance and longevity of the system.
Coupled with automated workflow, visualization tools and intuitive UI reduce not only system user-training costs but business process training. Finding experienced recruits in the highly-specialised sectors of commodities and supply chain management can be costly and time-consuming.
D3 is a g10 Business Intelligence product that addresses these issues. Platform and data source-independent, it can sit on top of any data and with a little initial configuration, can display that data using a number of effective visual tools; barcharts, pie-charts, heatmap distributions, bellcurve distributions, maps and interactive tables.
Governance and compliance are key business issues: Ensuring employees and business functions act accordingly, appropriately and at the right time, according to corporate policies and customer needs.
Execution is as important as the trading strategies you formulate. It is a core element of risk management. Once the trade is made, if you don’t deliver according to the rules and as promised, the impact can be costly. Failure to act in a timely fashion and standardize correspondence can leave you exposed. You may not know until it is too late.
Future-Ready:
Workflow automation is a vital component to your business operations but it needs to be flexible to change. The rate of change in business processes, distribution channels and customer demands is accelerating. Business critical systems are often designed to meet requirements which are gathered based on experience and current business needs. This can result in rigid systems which cannot adapt easily or quickly enough to accommodate changes in the business model. and therefore future difficulties, extra expense in development, delays or even road-blocks or an IT investment that is no longer relevant to your business, obsolete.
G10 systems design pay close attention to these dangers, incorporating business rules engines that, in the main, are configurable at the administration or user level rather than the development level. We cannot claim to be future-proof, but we put a lot of effort in trying to make our systems future-ready.
Email is great. There is just such a lot of it. CCs and BCCs are effective in keeping members of a group in the loop but we are increasingly needing to manage more than one inbox at work because of the sheer volume of correspondence.
System-driven notifications and emails have helped automate collaboration amongst teams and between departments and your supply chain, however, implemented badly can create clutter in your inboxes thereby risking the chance of missing emails or running out of time to deal with them.
G10 systems reduce this clutter by combining data visualisation and workflow to create more intuitive interfaces. This enhances collaboration and communication while vastly reducing the volume of email traffic.
The CSITC Round Trial is one major step towards the internationally aspired commercial standardization of instrument testing of cotton.
In its first year of implementation the CSITC Round Trials proved to give:
Made possible in large by the technical expertise of Fibre Institute Bremen and systems from G10.
Some soft commodities are less generic than others when it comes to quality & grading, such as cotton & coffee, which adds layers of complexity and flexibility on the controls, measurements and reporting to your system.
Our belief that ‘if you can do cotton, you can do anything’ has been confirmed. With our approach to flexibility and user-defined configurability, our software can be implemented for a variety of business cases in shipping and supply chain management, not just different commodities:
