INTEGRATED SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
Harness Information Overload
It’s impossible for sourcing and NPI teams to absorb the overwhelming amount of information available, let alone translate this data into actions that improve the business. LevaData acts as your advisor, applying AI to a range of data sources to serve up the most relevant recommendations, insights and predictions.
The Power of the Platform
LevaData is built on an integrated platform that is the basis for a system that provides signal monitoring, decision analytics, intelligent actions, and an executive center across all of our products.

Set rules and target constraints for a variety of scenarios, including savings goals, minimum or maximum number of suppliers, lead times, tiered bids, and more. - Full Alignment

One of the things that LevaData is doing is changing the way we think about strategic sourcing. Technology itself can't solve everything. It has to work with human beings in order to get the best results. LevaData has integrated these two components of the supply chain process: the human elements and the technology.
