time-series

Introduction

SmartOpt is an innovative platform that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with optimization techniques to improve supply chain processes end-to-end. It offers solutions for every stage of supply chain management, solving complex operational problems effectively. From demand forecasting to production planning, from inventory management to logistics route optimization, SmartOpt’s AI-powered tools help businesses reduce costs and increase efficiency. In fact, companies using SmartOpt have achieved an average of 30% cost savings across the supply chain.

SmartOpt Solutions and the Role of B2B Integration

With its modular structure, SmartOpt offers comprehensive solutions covering all supply chain functions. For example, it provides various software modules ranging from demand and price forecasting (ForecastOpt) to production planning (PlanOpt), and from inventory optimization to logistics (RouteOpt and MilkRunOpt). All these modules are designed to integrate seamlessly with companies' existing IT infrastructures. In fact, SmartOpt can be integrated with almost any corporate ERP system in a short time. As a result, both internal and external data from suppliers and customers come together on a single platform, enabling real-time visibility.

What is B2B Integration and Why is It Important?

B2B integration is the process of digitally connecting the systems of two or more businesses to automate and streamline the exchange of data and information. It enables seamless operation of procurement, ordering, inventory, and financial processes between business partners. B2B integration accelerates workflows, minimizes errors, and increases transparency.

Key benefits of B2B integration:
  • Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings: Automated order processing, inventory tracking, and logistics accelerate operations while reducing costs.
  • Data Accuracy: Direct system-to-system data exchange reduces human errors and provides more accurate and up-to-date information for decision support systems.
  • Transparency and Collaboration: Real-time data sharing between suppliers and manufacturers increases supply chain visibility and fosters trust among stakeholders.

For instance, a manufacturing company can use SmartOpt to share real-time stock and order information with its suppliers. This enables the supplier to adjust its delivery schedule dynamically based on the manufacturer’s needs, while the manufacturer can plan production more accurately based on incoming materials. Arçelik, which uses SmartOpt’s MilkRunOpt module, integrated its dishwasher factory in Ankara with its suppliers and achieved 15–20% cost savings in logistics operations.
