MANAGEMENT RESOLVE
Sun Tzu wrote, "The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory."
Imágio is piloted by principles steeped in diversity. History has proven that specific industry designed products and services often transform other disciplines. The discovery of fire, or, more precisely, the controlled use of fire was, of necessity, one of the earliest of human discoveries and in turn set the "decision makers" to task. Those primordial executives realized fire's utilizations were varied. Not only did fire provide heat but it was a source of light. It provided the ability to cook plants and animals, to clear forests for planting, to heat-treat stone for making stone tools and to burn clay for ceramic objects. This acuity is essential in Imágio's fundamental management strategies.
From local and federal government to private healthcare, or oil and gas companies to charitable foundations, Imágio's target was, in essence, indistinguishable. The prime goal of any strategist's work is to find the optimum solution for a client in close cooperation with that client. Imágio provides services from tactical planning through workflow to process reengineering. As different as our clients are in services and industries, they share one thing in common; a belief that consistently meeting and exceeding their customers’ expectations is essential to success.

Raw materials play a significant part in businesses, and more so in the manufacturing sector. A slight disruption in the supply chain of raw materials can halt operations and severely impact manufacturing. While procurement of raw materials from reputable and reliable suppliers help to maintain a steady production, there are many factors to consider when procuring materials.
There are many ways of procuring materials, and which method you choose will depend on the type of product or services required.
In the digital era, most businesses have moved to electronic procurement, to keep the process transparent, efficient, and trackable. While the process of raw material procurement doesn’t change, it involves the use of software and digital tools to streamline and automate overall operations.
Imagio employs a preeminent online platform for procuring raw material such as steel from trusted sellers at the best prices with attractive credit options. Equipped with a wide supplier network of verified sellers, it not just offers you the best prices for your raw material requirements but also attractive credit assistance for the purchase of raw materials.
Procurement of raw materials can be challenging at times. There are some strategies that can be used to improve your raw material sourcing and help you manage your supply chain. Listed below are raw material procurement strategies that can help you:
Listed below are Imágio’s raw material procurement strategies that can help you:
Source locally: Raw material purchase from local vendors ensures that you can procure the materials with fewer delays. However, you need to ascertain where your providers are getting their materials, the quality of raw materials and the timelines of delivery.
Build a list of sources: It is a folly for any business to depend on a single vendor because the dependability on the supplier is high. If there are shortages and challenges at their end, you would find it difficult to source goods on time. Diversity in raw material purchase enables you with options and you can bring in raw materials you need even when you face challenges with a particular vendor.
Increase inventory: If you face regular shortages in raw materials, it is wise to increase your own available inventory. We understand the inventory turnover ratio, and if the need be invest in additional warehousing options. It will resolve your supply chain woes in the long run and keep your customers happy. In this respect, Imagio advises considering using external warehouse logistics to store inventory cost-effectively.
Connect with a distributor: Another factor that can help you to resolve raw material supply chain challenges is to identify a distributor. Distributors have additional resources and can provide you with the most cost-effective solution to your current supply chain needs.
Seven common procurement principles:
Value for money
Fairness
Competition
Efficiency
Transparency
Integrity
Accountability

Systemized Digital Logistics
This is an age where dynamic and fundamental changes are shaping the logistics operations and strategy for the better. The communication and collaboration potential of the Internet as we know it today, are improving logistic strategies, processes and systems. The new paradigm in logistics will help in saving millions of dollars of operating costs, achieving better supply chain integration, and increasing market power through customer-focused fulfillment. The internet helps in tremendous increases in supply chain velocity and cost reduction by information sharing and logistics synchronization amidst all partners in the supply chain. This transformed logistics is called digital logistics. It uses a host of web-based, enterprise logistics applications for collaboration and optimization and a central logistics information system to provide visibility all around the enterprise and extended supply chain.
The most important areas in digital logistics are:
Distribution: Improved, current generation fulfillment processes and real-time warehouse management system (WMS) technology.
Transportation: Automated load building, optimization of inbound and outbound freight movements, and efficient management of carriers.

Digital logistics ensures that there is end-to-end visibility in inventory, orders, and shipments across the supply chain. It reduces network-wide inventory levels, maximizes customer satisfaction, and responds dynamically to logistics events. There is a central command and control centre to aid decision making. So, the system becomes very efficient. There is increased visibility to performance metrics that helps in continuous improvement. All information is accessible online and allows people to filter information and gain comprehensive knowledge on problems if any.
Everything becomes easy with GPS tracking system. Anything can be tracked in real time from anywhere in the world. A slight delay in the path is known immediately to everyone concerned. And if there is need for rerouting, it can be done as soon as possible. With the advent of digital logistics, it has become very easy to eliminate loss, wrong destination deliveries and delivery failures. Weather conditions are predicted, and deliveries are scheduled accordingly. From the moment of origin to the second it reaches destination; the entire path is charted digitally. There is no room for error.
One of the important factors in moving to digital logistics is the need for flexibility to integrate with newer systems to communicate information, synchronize activities, and collaborate across processes. Digital applications are based on a central repository of all logistics information. Stakeholders can view information, add or modify details.
The incorporation of groundbreaking research like data analytics, data sciences, and machine learning are used in logistics, along with the digital know-how, to enhance the technologies and processes. People study previous data and come to conclusions on strategies. For example, last year’s peak season shipping data can help in shaping this year’s data.
What is digital logistics?
Digital logistics, as it relates to the supply chain, takes traditional data collection, which is often manual and prone to human error or delay, and digitizes it to improve and expedite your logistics processes, strategies and systems. In other words, it automates routine-like parts of the logistics chain that are practical to be automated.
Not only does this digital approach create opportunities for your organization to save money on operating expenses, lost productivity, and accurate order fulfilment, but it also increases data transparency for all the vendors and partners involved in each step of supply chain management and operations.
By employing thoughtfully integrated enterprise logistics applications that collaborate and communicate through a centralized information system, all stakeholders have access to the information they need to make agile, informed decisions even in the midst of the unexpected.
