Nucleus Research SCM ROI business case tool

September 25, 2015 - ROI Tools P164

Competition in the market for supply chain applications is fierce as makers of specialty software challenge suite or enterprise resource planning vendors for business. Along with functionality vendors with a suite of supply chain tools extoll the value of application integration when selling their wares. For their part, best of breed vendors counter by stressing the value of their broader functionality or ease of use.

Supply chain executives want the best tool for the job but often find themselves squared off against the chief information officer in software selection. Because supply chain executives are often judged on their ability to control operational costs in complex supply chains, they recognize the importance of specialized applications for distribution, inventory, planning, and transportation in helping them perform their job. Supply chain executives who use these tools need to be able to demonstrate the payback potential of a software selection to the chief executive officer before gaining approval for an expenditure.

End-user organizations may use this tool to analyze technology decisions but the tool may not be redistributed or modified in any way.
