Effectively implementing supply chain event management (SCEM) software brings several benefits,

with the key one being the triggering of notifications for variances from plans. This involves:

Real-Time Monitoring: SCEM software continuously monitors supply chain activities, tracking the

progress of orders, shipments, and inventory levels.

Exception Management: When deviations from the plan occur, such as delays, shortages, or

excesses, the system triggers notifications, allowing for immediate corrective actions.

Proactive Problem Solving: Early detection of variances enables supply chain managers to address

issues before they escalate, minimizing disruptions.

Improved Communication: By providing timely and accurate information, SCEM software enhances

communication and collaboration among supply chain partners, ensuring that all parties are aware of

and can respond to variances.
