Once a technology solution has been tested and vetted by a multi-national, multi-plant operation, it is rolled out enterprise-wide. There are many reasons why this approach into solutions, with obvious bottom-line improvements, takes time. Ultriva CEO Narayan Laksham noted in the current company blog, “Manufacturing champions, who are often operations managers, or plant managers at a single location, have budget caps. This often results in a single location plant performing a “proof of concept” (POC) experiment to test the efficacy of a solution. Even in the world of low-cost, rapid implementation, SaaS (software as a service) cloud-based technologies, large multi-nationals often lack the agility to quickly extrapolate a good idea across the enterprise.”

Ultriva customers are either now on Ultriva 7.6 version or in the process of migrating to the new version. The unique approach allows Ultriva customers to upgrade to the newer version at their own pace because customers need to do a few rounds of testing to make sure their integration with their on-site ERP system is working as expected. There is a blog describing this process at: http://web.ultriva.com/ultriva-blog/bid/100037/An-extremely-Busy-Year-for-Ultriva-Engineering. Ultriva 7.6 Ultriva delivered various updates to the End to End pull software product at the end of 2013. Pushparaj Shanmugam, Director of Engineering for Ultriva, discussed the enhanced features to the software based on customer inputs in the company’s current blog. Shanmugam explained, “We delivered Ultriva 7.6 recently and this version alone had about 15 new or enhanced features. Almost all of these 15 features grew out of our customer feedback. We take our customer input seriously and quickly incorporate their ideas and requests through our agile product development approach. In comparison, such releases are uncommon in traditional onsite software products.” Shanmugam noted that the engineering team added so many new integration points to the Oracle Connector that it can be "plug-n-play" with the Oracle ERP system. A recent customer upgrade added a new plant to their deployment without any glitches. The customer has been integrated with their Oracle ERP 12.x and they are using the ‘out of the box’ Oracle connector. Shanmugam commented, “Our customer sent a thank you email to our support that read, ‘Please advise the Ultriva engineers that it all worked right out of the box!’” Ultriva’s (www.ultriva.com) cloud-based platform leverages and seamlessly integrates with leading ERP and MRP systems, to deliver an end to end pull based replenishment model. Ultriva, based in Cupertino, CA, implemented a global demand driven manufacturing model by providing full visibility, scheduling, and sequencing of production of customer orders. The need for a collaborative transactional portal is essential and E2E (End to End) Pull allows large multi-national manufacturers to actively collaborate with customers for actual demand and synchronize with suppliers for replenishment. E2E Pull offers a better solution to balancing supply with customer demand through procurement strategies, materials and inventory policies tied to actual demand signals. Many suppliers want to provide sufficient service levels to customers and turn supply replenishment and synchronization into a competitive advantage. The company’s global footprint is increasing rapidly with implementations in wide variety of industry sectors and enterprises such as ATK, CareFusion, Emerson, Ingersoll Rand, McKesson, Magellan, Regal Beloit, Thermo Fisher and more.
