The Situation Supply chain management in a security- rich, post 9/11 world places more emphasis on tracking inventory— making the availability of accurate data more critical. LP found it difficult to obtain key movement information when they needed it to make production and transportation decisions quickly.

Integrating clean and complete data in the desired timetable—whether real–time, hourly, or daily—and into any application or system is at the core of all Transentric solutions.
