DIGITAL SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSFORMATION

Our end-to-end services are aimed at helping businesses achieve antifragility.

DIAGNOSTICS AND ROADMAPPING

We’ll take a deep dive into your current situation and create a roadmap for change.

• Antifragility: Measure your current state of antifragility and establish transformation goals.
• Gap Analyses: Identify areas for improvement across processes, systems, reporting and user adoption.
• Technical Diagnostics: Rationalize and optimize utilization of the existing technical infrastructure.
• Security Diagnostics: Expose and resolve security risks to prevent critical security issues.
• Roadmapping: Create a framework for change, with a focus on quick wins and limited disruption.

DEPLOYMENT, INTEGRATION AND TESTING

We achieve seamless supply chain deployments and migrations by expertly managing the many moving parts spanning platforms, projects, processes and people. We create homogenous IT ecosystems by integrating disparate systems and data sources across on-premise, mobile, cloud and hybrid environments.

DATA AND ANALYTICS

We find hidden data assets across the entire IT landscape, aggregate data sources and provide a single source of truth for enterprise information that is timely, reliable, accessible and secure. We’ll help you visualize data and leverage real-time analytics to unlock key insights that would otherwise get lost in a deluge of data.

MIGRATION

Migration of data from legacy systems can be risky, especially when it is harvested from multiple sources. We tap into our technical proficiency to execute migrations from a multitude of systems, while harmonizing data to improve quality. To expedite the process, we leverage our prebuilt extractors, mappings and workflows.

MOBILITY

Our platform-agnostic solutions incorporate responsive designs, robust security, usage analytics, and support for native mobile apps and data sources. By arming users with instant access to enterprise applications on every device, you can streamline workflows, increase engagement, and fuel timely, informed decision-making.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND TRAINING

Most change initiatives fall short of achieving the required adoption level because they fail to see the risks and challenges. We address the people side of change management. We manage expectations, raise awareness, develop and deliver consistent communications, entice participation, and increase user skill and confidence.

MANAGED SERVICES

We provide system maintenance, support and end-of-life services. But we go beyond traditional managed services to deliver value-added services aimed at helping clients react quickly to changing market dynamics, gain productivity, achieve better business alignment, increase transparency and improve business outcomes.

When it comes to achieving antifragility, legacy systems just won’t cut it. We offer the best platforms on the market – though we focus on improving operational agility and real-time visibility, not pushing a platform.

SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING

Businesses must keep an eye on operating costs and profit margins, meet the high expectations of customers, and react quickly to changes in supply and demand. Bristlecone addresses these requirements with best-in-class supply chain and business planning platforms from Oracle, SAP, etc. From what-if simulations and real-time alerts to predictive analytics and advanced algorithms, every platform features powerful planning tools. We couple this planning power with our proprietary assets and expertise to drive supply chain agility.

SAP S/4HANA

Bristlecone builds rapidly deployable solutions on SAP S/4HANA. Proprietary frameworks and accelerators enable us to mitigate migration risks and simplify adoption. We integrate collaboration tools to streamline core business functions, including sourcing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and finance. We also leverage our prebuilt industry-specific process maps and repository of artifacts that accelerate financial reporting, simplify logistics and enhance supply chain management. Capitalizing on SAP Fiori, we deliver a seamless role-oriented, consumer-grade user experience across devices.

ORACLE SCM

Bristlecone has extensive experience with Oracle installations in complex, fragmented technology landscapes. We offer Oracle SCM products that modernize operations across the demand, supply and product pillars – and ultimately transform supply chains from functional necessity to competitive advantage. We have developed dozens of integration connectors and adapters that decrease implementation timelines and enable businesses to get more from their Oracle solutions. We also have a selection of industry-focused accelerators, predefined templates and other assets for both on-premise and cloud-based Oracle installations.

Our accelerators jump-start deployments to lower engagement costs and drive faster time-to-value.
