are still facing significant data challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With metrics like inventory levels, demand patterns, and supplier inputs all constantly in flux, poor data quality, data inaccuracy and inconsistencies, and delays in processing and analysis, are just some of the supply chain data issues you might find yourself struggling with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In theory, harnessing all of that data for better business intelligence represents a&nbsp;significant opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the sheer volume of it across the supply chain can be a tough knot to unravel\u2014and it\u2019s difficult for&nbsp;your supply chain team when valuable insights are buried:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supply chain operators don\u2019t have a reliable or straightforward way to surface urgent items that need their attention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supply chain managers need their teams to cobble together a dashboard from multiple sources to put together a big picture status report.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Executives lack an easy way to pull supply chain trends and analysis reports to inform major business decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And across the board, it\u2019s hard to ensure that all your data is accurate and up-to-date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you can&nbsp;overcome these challenges&nbsp;with the right supply chain reporting tools and technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, Sage Supply Chain Intelligence is here to help you answer the most pressing questions about your orders and make it easier to take the necessary actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re excited to introduce our Custom Dashboard that allows every supply chain professional to add and rearrange widgets based on their role and day-to-day needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><ul><li><a

dashboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a supply chain operator, you&#8217;re the team member responsible for ensuring the efficient and cost-effective end-to-end flow of goods from raw materials to final delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as such, you need a reliable way to surface immediate answers to the age-old question, \u201cWhat needs my attention today?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Sage Supply Chain Intelligence&#8217;s customizable dashboard and reports, supply chain operators have a project management control center at their fingertips, so they can take prompt action on what matters most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than manually tracking down the latest updates to inform your daily task prioritization, you can now spring right into action and save time with a range of supply chain dashboard customization options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-personalized-to-do-lists-to-put-the-spotlight-on-urgent-tasks\">Personalized to-do lists to put the spotlight

the info you need day-to-day accessible in as few clicks as possible\u2014whether that\u2019s drilling down into orders that have changed since their last login, shipments with payments due in the next 30 days, or anything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customizing-status-reports-to-help-supply-chain-managers-improve-performance\">Customizing status reports to

Where do we stand? What\u2019s at risk?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions are a common refrain for supply chain managers. You need to know the status of every order\u2014and exactly what\u2019s at stake\u2014whether you\u2019re turning on a dime to mitigate disruptions or shifting into damage control for overdue orders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic status reports are the solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Sage Supply Chain Intelligence, you can customize your dashboard to put real-time status reports

do we need to make to minimize costs and maximize efficiency?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than waiting around for manual reports on major considerations\u2014like spend and production over time,
