7. Business Intelligence & Analytics
A well designed BI application should primarily possess the ability to give anyone in a company a
clear understanding of the various information assets of the company and their mutual
interactions. This aids in the process of better decision making. BI
software enables customers, partners, employees, managers, and
executives of an organization to perform detailed analysis and real
time reporting by integrating the incongruent data sources into a
single rational framework.
BI’s current evolution is focused solely on the aspect of guiding users to the right course of
action than simply allowing them to acquire more and investigate deeper into the data. It can be
said that Business Intelligence is evolving from a set of tools that help users navigate vast
amounts of new information to helping users focus on relevant ones.

 Narrow down focus on relevant information: Modern BI systems deliver relevant information
depending on the requirement of the user, and in an easy to use format that the user can use.
Users can get key metrics and KPIs as a simple view inside an existing web application without
having to go through the trouble of using specialized BI tools.
 Take structured actions: Access to the right information is
useful only if it prompts a user to take corrective actions. Present
day BI systems not only provide relevant information but also define
the processes and workflows needed to derive a solution.
 Automate Information Process: Instead of spending time on
performing tactical tasks, BI solutions allow a user to devote her time on more important work
that will drive better business performances. Automated processes free up more time for the
users as they are not required to manage every step of the process. 9

20. Role of EDI in Logistics & Supply Chain
 Receiving merchandise from manufacturing unit to warehouse: The process starts with
manufacturer sending shipment notification EDI 943 (warehouse stock transfer order document)
to warehouse informing about the transfer of shipment. Once the order is received, a
warehouse stock receipt EDI 944 is sent from warehouse to manufacturer.
 Transferring merchandise from warehouse to Retailer: When
merchandize is to get transferred from warehouse to retailer,
warehouse receives EDI 940 (warehouse shipping order document)
from manufacturer requesting for shipping the order to retailer. Again warehouse sends back
another EDI 945 known as warehouse shipping order confirmation EDI, confirming the shipment
of order.
20

21. Role of EDI in Logistics & Supply Chain
 Vendor Managed Inventory: Vendor managed inventory is characterized by shared risk
between vendor and customer therefore increases potential cost savings. Typically retailer
capture the sales data at point of sale using a PDA, this data is then communicated to Vendor
through EDI 852 point of sale and inventory activity document.
The vendor feeds the data in VMI system based on which orders
are calculated.
 Invoicing: In response to purchase orders sent by buyers,
EDI 810 invoice is generated to create request for payment
against each order. EDI implementation in invoicing has significantly reduced errors and
rejections making the entire trading easy and quick in terms of transactions and follow ups.
21

22. Role of EDI in Logistics & Supply Chain
 EDI in Transportation: Trucking companies integrate EDI technology to their current business
processes to fasten the inbound and outbound mobility by availing the benefits from accurate
and quick information required for their operations.
• In this scenario, to let the trucking firms know about the shipment, vendors are required
to send EDI 204 carrier shipping information document
• In response trucking firm send EDI 990 to let the vendor
know if they will pick up the shipment.
• When shipment is picked, trucking firms send Motor
carrier shipment status EDI 214 to let the vendor know
about the shipment status.
• Once the shipment is done, trucking firm again sends EDI 210 Motor carriage freight
details and invoice to vendor.
