Cambar Consultants Deliver the Highest Quality Work

With over a quarter century of solving complex supply chain business problems in the Distribution and Manufacturing Industries, Cambar Solutions has developed an unparalleled brain-trust of knowledge and methods for applying that knowledge to help business executives surpass their business goals. Our knowledge resides in mature, experienced, highly-talented consultants who are subject-matter-experts in both supply chain management and technology innovation. Cambar’s consultants commit themselves to a strategic relationship with clients to ensure ongoing value of our work.

Cambar’s Perfect Order Performance Solution (CPOP) client engagement consists of two components. The first is a contemporary best practice consulting component that determines for the client which high-value strategic, differentiating and competitive order management process improvements need be made. The second is a customized, web-accessible technology innovation component that supports, enforces and manages the client’s new order management process improvements. CPOP delivers substantial supply chain know-how supported by custom-technology. And, CPOP is delivered in an uncustomary short timeframe at a fraction of the customary cost.

Cambar’s Consulting Practice

The strength of Cambar’s consulting practice is centered in deep supply chain and technology innovation experience, proven consulting methodologies and maturity models targeted at complex, un-mastered supply chain problems. The breadth of Cambar’s consulting practice extends to customer service, order management, warehouse management, distribution, transportation, service parts, and logistics.

Cambar’s supply chain consultants are valued for their commitment to the client’s success; and to the knowledge and understanding of the client’s business. They routinely exceed client expectations and deliver engagements on time and on budget. Cambar’s technology consultants are valued for deep technical knowledge, practical experience and proven development methodologies using a broad range of software, hardware and databases. Because of attractive cost advantages to our clients, Cambar technology consultants are fully certified in the use of Microsoft technologies. They are also well-versed and fully capable in the use of many other pertinent technologies, including IBM, Cognos, Hyperion, Attachmate, Fujitsu, IdeaBlade and MicroFocus.

Cambar supply chain consultants work with business executives to analyze their business strategy and develop a roadmap for better aligning operations with strategic intent. They review and develop a thorough understanding of current order management processes, business practice rules and how exceptions to standard business practices are handled. To expose a complete picture of trading partner profitability, Cambar supply chain consultants work with business executives to associate operating costs with the exceptions. They review standard metrics and propose any new metrics needed to provide a complete order performance outcome. Because weighted metrics are an important vehicle for expressing a company’s strategic priorities, Cambar supply chain consultants help business executives establish and set appropriate weighting factors. Additionally, Cambar supply chain consultants work closely with our technology consultants to ensure that the necessary granularity of data is being captured and the proper information technology environment is in place.

Cambar supply chain consultants also work with business executives to classify trading partners and products into pertinent segments. By segmenting trading partners and products, business executives are able to better direct order management process improvement investments toward more profitable segments, customize the appropriate business practice and exception management rules per trading partner relationship, and enforce alignment of operations with strategic intent.

Cambar supply chain consultants help business executives determine what to do with the wealth of information gleaned from Cambar’s Perfect Order Performance Solution. Because the Solution supports tailored Internal and External user views, Cambar supply chain consultants work with clients to establish role-based views that display performance metrics that are applicable to a specific user role. The Solution naturally reveals the need for process improvements targeted at the most profitable trading partners and products. Cambar supply chain consultants and technology consultants do whatever is required to successfully complete engagements and technology implementations, including using client-preferred technology rather than Cambar-preferred technology or modernizing legacy client applications.
