CTRM in the Cloud
II. Process and Measurement
"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." - Peter Drucker
Our advanced workflow and scheduling tools enable you to plan resources effectively, set targets and
manage capacity. We monitor thousands of data points to deliver your business-specific metrics that not
only identify where bottlenecks are occurring or costs are increasing, but can anticipate them before they
happen.
The result: Real-time insights that lead to an unprecedented level of efficiency and control throughout
your entire supply chain.
III. Analytics
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein
It's impossible for anyone to digest the massive amount of complex transactions that occur daily within a
supply chain, so our analytical tools do it for you. They drill down to the granular level but present the
information in a visual, tailored, easy-to-understand format.
The result: A high-level understanding of varied, complex data that makes decision making both fact-based
and intuitive.

A Dedicated Team of Experienced Professionals
All Generation 10 employees spend time working face-to-face with our customers in their own facilities. As their
technology partner, we interact regularly with middle and upper management and participate in their strategic
meetings to ensure that our solutions remain relevant to their needs.
The global commodity supply chain is complex, dynamic and ever-changing, and the real-world experience of
our dedicated team of professionals is invaluable when positioning our customers for success, both today and
in the future.
For the first decade of its existence, Generation 10 worked almost exclusively with cotton. This highly complex
commodity involves a diverse supply chain, requires tracking down to the unit level, and is priced on a matrix of
more than 15 different factors, premiums and discounts, each of which can change during the life of the unit.
This breadth and depth of our understanding, combined with the flexibility of our solutions, has resulted in an
application framework that makes applying across other commodities mostly a matter of configuration.
Whilst our expertise has been firmly rooted in agricultural commodities, we were able to configure G10
Commodity Manager for copper in a morning. Despite the fact that we had never worked with metals before, it
was fully configured and marked to market by the time we broke for lunch. There are not many systems out
there that are able to do that.
An Unbeatable Combination
When you combine the industry's most flexible and innovative products with a philosophy of partnership and
collaboration, supported by a team of dedicated professionals with real-world experience, great results can be
achieved.
If you are looking for a Tier 1 solution, you don't need to choose between having depth of functionality or having
modern, flexible architecture. Generation 10 can give you both - at a fraction of the price of a traditional legacy
system.

demonstration of all that Generation 10 can do for you.
