Arrow Collaborator

Your High Reward, Low Risk Solution To Improved Material Planning Efficiency

Arrow Collaborator is an Internet-based, hosted service designed to help you manage inventory assets more effectively. It delivers immediate improvements to your planning and materials management process within weeks, with little or no investment in IT resources.

Arrow Collaborator delivers critical, real-time information regarding your forecasted needs and our ability to support these needs. In addition to details on Arrow's inventory reserves, Arrow Collaborator provides you with upstream visibility into shipments coming directly from component manufacturers into Arrow's warehouses.

The power of enhanced visibility into your supply chain, along with collaborative features that allow real-time corrective actions, improved decision making and access to unique analytical tools, will deliver previously unachievable efficiencies to your organization.

Arrow Collaborator allows you to:

• Focus only on the most urgent issues requiring attention.

• Identify exactly how much inventory, on a part-by-part basis, is reserved and available for your immediate use.
• View "upstream" delivery schedules directly from original device manufacturers.
• Review detailed supply information for all "at risk" components.
• Cross directly to the supply profile of approved alternative parts in times of crisis.
• Download information to perform your own "what if?" or "can build?" analysis.
• Make adjustments before the financial impact of inventory liabilities becomes too great.
• Collaborate with Arrow on parts recently added or dropped from your forecast.
• View a historical analysis of forecasted requirements, on a part-by-part basis, compared to actual shipments.
