Case Study: Marine Electronics Company (MEC) achieves real-time supply-chain visibility and proactive materials management with Upland Software

Marine Electronics Company - Customer Case Study

MEC, the world’s largest marine electronics company (parent to five leisure marine brands, ~1,500 employees and distribution in 100+ countries), needed a web-based supplier portal that would seamlessly integrate with their INFOR Syteline ERP, display current order and item data for all vendors, send EDI and non-EDI MRP forecasts/orders, manage MRP exceptions, and improve collaboration, execution and performance reporting across their supply chain.

Ultriva implemented its cloud-based Collaborative Supply Portal integrated with MEC’s ERP, eliminating disparate stand-alone processes and providing real-time visibility from demand release through material receipt and AP processing. The solution’s dashboards, workflows and automated alerts shifted MEC from reactive to proactive materials management, improving supplier collaboration, inventory control and performance reporting and delivering measurable productivity and inventory improvements.
