he enormous inflow and outflow of data is a quotidian
trend for companies, regardless of their size and
industrial operation. Data is paramount in decision-
making and deriving desired business outcomes. In
the realm of highly competitive business arena, there is a huge

of managing, predicting, integrating, and analyzing data—both

setting. SAP stands in this ecosystem as a leader in offering

Drive Growth with Predictive Commerce

obby Miller, ORTEC Global Consumer Goods
Strategist, relishes balancing being a marathon
runner and jazz musician with delivering innovative
software solutions that help companies better predict
and drive growth. At ORTEC, he focuses not on sprinting, but on
establishing long term partnerships with customers and delivering
what customers want most, demonstrable and quantifiable results.
The supply chain is the heartbeat of the company. ERP companies
such as SAP are excellent at helping a company run their business
end-to-end. ORTEC integrates directly in SAP, filling the gaps,
providing real-time support for shipping and logistics scheduling.
The ORTEC Predictive Commerce Platform solves sophisti-
cated problems by helping companies predict and optimize the
supply chain. “The ORTEC platform helps customers better pre-
dict business outcomes and optimize their supply chain,” states
Miller. “We are revolutionizing the way companies see, plan and
execute their demand-to-delivery supply chain.” ORTEC pro-
vides optimization solutions and consulting services to compa-
nies worldwide. Its products and services result in optimal fleet
routing and dispatch, vehicle and pallet loading, workforce sched-
uling, forecasting, inventory planning, warehouse control and
overall supply chain network design. Its solutions enable real-time
supply chain visibility and improve efficiencies for customers, re-
sulting in lower operating costs and increased revenues.
ORTEC is a Platinum Certified SAP Partner and
the ORTEC Load Building is directly integrated in
SAP ERP enabling planning the entire distribution
schedule with a single application. Powerful opti-
mization algorithms for load building and routing
enhance SAP performance exponentially. The com-
pany also provides complex order picking and ware-
house processes for SAP. The SAP certified add-
on, ORTEC Mobile Logistics Solutions
(MLS), is fully integrated into the
SAP Logistics Execution System
(LES) and expands the warehouse
management components by intro-
ducing supplemental warehouse processes.
ORTEC provides customers with support in configuring their
warehouse processes using SAP’s Extended Warehouse Man-
agement (EWM). ORTEC SAP consultants are specialists in the
implementation of efficient logistics processes in SAP Supply
Chain Execution (SCE) and Supply Chain Management (SCM)
applications. ORTEC offers the only solution on the market that
simultaneously optimizes the route deliveries and builds pallets
and truckloads in one solve.
Transportation logistics are becoming increasingly complex.
Companies are struggling to manage large amounts of data. Sup-
ply Chain Insights Founder, Lora Cecere describes this challenge
well, “A Supply Chain is a complex system with complex process-
es with increasing complexity.” ORTEC helps manage complexity
with a predictive commerce strategy for the supply chain. It helps
companies connect upstream demand sensing with downstream
supply chain planning and execution, in a single, optimized sys-
tem of record.
HowP&GReducedDeliveryCostsGlobally
ORTEC is helping P&G achieve a corporate goal to reduce global
delivery costs by 10 percent, by 2020. Leveraging ORTEC’s SAP
load building solution, they were able to maximize truckload
cube and weight utilization and increase route efficiency as well
as reduce transportation costs significantly, all in a standardized
global template. ORTEC’s SAP embedded optimization and 3D
load building solution has allowed P&G to increase load utiliza-
tion anywhere from five to 15 percent depending on the country
as well as decrease overall truck freight spend.
With increasing pressure on streamlining logistics and in-
creasing business efficiencies, information technology demands
are constantly evolving. Moving forward, ORTEC is focused on
further developing their solutions to scale to even more complex
problems. “Our predictive commerce platform provides compa-
nies with better insights and we are pushing the envelope to de-
velop even smarter algorithms that learn,” concludes Miller.
