Integration
Every supply chain solution implementation requires the exchange of information between at least two systems. Open Sky Group consultants are experts at translating information either into or out of the systems we implement, to all kinds of packages whether they are homegrown, or well-known like SAP or Oracle. Open Sky Group consultants use integration tools to successfully share information between Blue Yonder solutions including warehouse, labor, and transportation management to any of your other systems that need it.
