The Surgere Automotive Supply Chain Community has reached record numbers. The

community's amazing growth includes 136 sites in the North America and 64 sites

in Asia Pacific since January 2020. AutoSphere is a large community of OEMs and

suppliers, who have come together to use a common set of processes and data

transactions to manage their packaging and parts supply chain transactions more

effectively. It is the automotive industry's most effective supply chain

management process -- delivered through massive collaboration. Community

members experience more efficiencies and cost savings by having the right

container and rack assets, at the right place, at the right time.

"Our members benefit with the impressive growth of the AutoSphere community, by

becoming better supply chain practitioners.  This in turn increases

productivity while decreasing operating costs.  True visibility and trusted

data are the only supply chain foundations which allow for sustainable and

resilient supply chain.  AutoSphere members are leading the way" said William

Wappler, President & CEO Surgere. The growth of the community provides the

members with a very large and active sandbox to test new and improving

technologies. Additionally, they benefit in three primary areas. First, their

field of vision is expanded, allowing every member to have a much wider view of

where their assets are located.   The opportunity to monitor "real time" and

recover containers, racks, and parts is greatly enhanced and expanded,

resulting in cost reduction statistics that are extremely positive and

improving. Second, the increase in data provides members the ability to better

understand best practices across the community. The billions of additional data

points provide a strong reference for AutoSphere members to judge where

productivity and cost can be improved.  They compare themselves to many

companies, all sharing insights into supply chain performance metrics. And,

lastly, Surgere Research and Development is greatly enhanced by deploying

multiple types of sensor technologies into a broader base of applications. It

takes experience and effort to move from supply chain theory using IoT to

creating trusted supply chain visibility.

"Year over year, Surgere's customer base has surged -- adding OEM, Tier 1, and

Tier 2 suppliers all who rely on our hardware, software and category-leading

consulting services" added Wappler. "Our clients see a dramatic reduction in

cost, an increase in productivity, and experience a clear ROI in as little as

six months with our solution as a service module."  

As many industries turn their thoughts to post-Covid operations, more efficient

systems, processes, and AI solutions are going to be paramount. Surgere is well

positioned to serve them all, delivering the right parts and the right

packaging at the right place at the right time. "Going forward, decision-makers

will need easy deployments, reduced risk and quick ROI" said Wappler. Surgere

provides high quality, digital technology with experienced resources and a

community of practitioners that are second to none.
