Digitally managing workforces could be crucial to new supply chains

Smarter technology stands to revolutionize the supply chain on multiple levels. From risk management to inventory coordination, businesses can gain a lot from accessible, well-managed data. One of the key areas that could demand more innovation is workforce management.

In the past, this may have depended on the mainframe: to meet future challenges, enterprises will need the same data but a way to assess it in multiple devices. A browser based terminal emulator offers simple solutions for critical sections of a company's computing prowess.

With workforce needs growing more and more complex around the globe, managing simpler responses will help businesses keep costs low.

"When a change affects standard processes, the repercussions may need to be felt throughout the supply chain."

Workforce changes in supply chains can require new systems from employers. In addition to managing many different sites, companies also have to increasingly coordinate hiring with other aspects of HR and engagement.

In addition, when a change affects standard processes, the repercussions may be felt throughout the supply chain and in several different programs.

For example, much has been made about the new overtime rules. Earlier this year, the Department of Labor announced that it would update overtime laws to affect 4.2 million American workers, according to BenefitsPro.

That could also require updates for the ways companies manage their employees and manage payroll data, even though the regulations aren't expected to take affect until December.

With a flexible system, every aspect of terminal emulation, from setup to host session management, can be simple and low-impact. Use Inventu's Flynet Viewer for a browser-accessible method that will give you centralized functions and an easy way to work with existing web pages or portals. Users will also have more control through this system and a better handle on the server-side.
