Tracing

At Mother Murphy's, we've instituted a software solution that makes sure our "left hand" always knows what our "right hand" is doing. From the front office to the shipping dock and beyond Vicinity Manufacturing's software has improved communication up and down the supply chain among employees, with suppliers, with partners with customers. "Our integrated communication capabilities have become a big selling point for winning new business," says Robin Conner, Mother Murphy's Vice President of IT Services. "We're eager to show our Vicinity system to any would-be customer to demonstrate what synchronized communication can do for their business".

Vicinity can track any item entered into its database, no matter where it is. That means if anything in the production process is recalled, we can instantly call up all transactions associated with that item and track them. The result is a rapid, real-time, online trace of lots, slashing recall time to mere minutes.

Vicinity generates product spec sheets directly from the production formulas, ensuring that production changes are automatically updated and new spec sheets generated. That means consistent and current information across the production chain—and no unpleasant surprises to you, the customer.
