Ease of use! Database structure is great!

In the past we used many excel spreadsheets to store our information. When updates were made, we had to remember to update in numerous spreadsheets. I like the fact that this program pulls much of the basic information our styles from our PLM system, and puts it into Power Grid. When we add sizing, pricing etc...to Power Grid, they only have to be updated one time. I do feel that customer support is very good. They were always very accommodating to help solve problems.

Intellimas used for costing, stores costs in one location that's accessible to all internal users either via reporting or directly in the UI. And based on custom configuration, specific costs are sent downstream and utilized for multiple planning and reporting processes. Intellimas used for WIP tracking, enables vendors to update events by Business Unit and PO in the UI, then the data is used in reporting to track on time deliveries.

1) No more spreadsheet-based business processes 2) Data lives in a SQL database which is secure and very accessible for analytics 3) Form reach tool, not just grids 4) Built-in Hierarchy entities & very flexible data model 5) low-to-medium Coding (SQL + C#) is needed depending on the complexity of the app 6) Ability to seed the data into the tool from other systems

Intellimas is a very configurable application. Intellimas provides a way to put the work managed in spreadsheets into an application that looks and feels like a spreadsheet, but where the data can be shared with users across the enterprise both external and internal. Integration from multiple systems sends vital data to Intellimas to complete the costing process, like style master data attributes, DIM packaging assignments, forecasting quantities, factory information, BOM information, and RFQs. Products are costed in the currency assigned to the product's business unit (like US, Canada, Mexico, etc.) Vendors access their RFQs to return product costs, and internal sourcing teams can access and compare all quotes side by side to analyze and select vendors. Users can easily format and create views to display their data. The WIP Tracking entity receives POs issued to vendors and calculates due dates for a list of production tracking events. Vendors enter their actual dates for these events, business users use this information to track on time delivery, and vendor score carding. Recently, we deployed Intellimas as a Single Sign On application using Microsoft Azure. The deployment was seamless.
