Daimler looks to optimize supply chain processes and reduce downtime with Microsoft Supply Chain Platform

Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) is the leading commercial vehicle manufacturer in the U.S., with a portfolio of distinctive brands like Freightliner and Western Star Trucks. With data coming from trucks, in-house ERP and supply chain systems, and suppliers, the company wanted to bring this together to gain actionable insights and optimize operations on the production floor as well as across the supply chain. To meet customer and dealer demand and promise accurate delivery dates, DTNA needed early visibility into potential time constraints. With Microsoft Supply Chain Platform, DTNA can break down siloes by inviting suppliers to share real-time supply chain data. This matches against demand signals and help uncover potential supply shortages, and increase collaboration with suppliers and production team to mitigate constraints and deliver on customer promise.
