Skyrocket your supply chain operations
Open Sky Group is debuting our Kaleidoscope Suite of supply chain management tools for 3PLs. Kaleidoscope combines Open Sky Group’s Enhanced Client Billing “ECB” and self-service 3PL Client Portal both offering real-time visibility, access, and workflow efficiency for a more responsive supply chain operation.
Kaleidoscope is Open Sky Groups suite of next-generation, cloud-first, 3PL applications built on a shared microservice platform. The Enhanced Client Billing module captures defined, billable transactions within a warehouse management system and assigns client-specific charges and invoices for streamlined billing. The 3PL Client Portal module allows for providing real-time dashboards and information to clients through a secure Internet portal.
One of the core tenets within the Kaleidoscope Suite is our approach for simple integration into virtually any supply chain environment. Using cloud-first microservice architectures with open APIs and data connectors we can capture billable transactions within ECB as well as secure real-time data access through 3PL Client Portal with minimal configuration or modifications to source systems. In addition, the modular design of the platform allows flexibility in supporting additional requirements.
Innovative, Real-Time, Client Billing Solutions to Boost Revenue and Efficiency.
Enhanced Client Billing
Designed specifically for 3PL operations where clients, contracts, and warehouse activities can change in an instant. ECB deploys conveniently on the cloud for seamless integration with any warehouse management system (WMS), enabling direct data extraction from the WMS for accurate, automated, up-to-date invoice processing. ECB “knows” the correct contract rules, billing rates, task charges, and incidentals associated with each warehouse activity for each customer, reflecting those charges correctly on the final bill. Additionally, ECB supports multiple languages and currencies.
