Military Supply Chain and Defense Logistics

The Real Time Value Network™ for Public Sector and Defense
The Department of Defense (DoD) is made up of many service arms and agencies that must work seamlessly together in order to achieve optimal performance. The service arms are supported in both deployment and sustainment activities by the DLA,USTRANSCOM, OSD and many private sector contractors, outsourced manufacturers,and service suppliers product suppliers. Whether it is forward fulfillment of goods in theatre to support the warfighter, reverse logistics of repairables and retrograde, or deployment during time of war, the Real Time Value Network™ has been proven to solve the problems of the military supply chain.

The DoD’s current operations operate in “silos”, which results in the buildup of over sized inventories, extremely long lead times, limited service levels and cost inefficiencies. Traditional commercial off the shelf software (COTS) will not work for the service arms of the DoD. Its single enterprise architecture and single enterprise process approach – by definition – will never work given the multi-enterprise, multi-echelon, requirements of the DoD.
The Real Time Value Network: A New Model for the Government Supply Chain
Each service arm, whether it be the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy or Marines Corps, needs to be able to integrate closely with each other, the DLA, USTRANSCOM and many civilian companies. In order to accomplish this, a network of trading partners must be connected and have the ability to transact, execute and plan together.
The Real Time Value Network provides this government network, offering thousands of companies already working together.
What does this mean for you? Essentially, higher service levels, lower costs and greater success for all parties in the network.

Scalable and Extensible with Accelerated Time to Value
Our government-certified cloud-based solution is scalable and extensible, so you can choose to embrace or replace your existing systems. The government can choose to run this network or allow One Network or its partners to manage on behalf of the government. Our network service in the cloud immediately leverages all trading partners, significantly lowering implementation costs and sharing them across the network. This means that the service arms and agencies can finally share capabilities instead of building common capabilities many times for each organization.
Being in the cloud, implementation is quick and painless. And, our secure cloud platform equals no expensive hardware to procure and maintain.
Another unique offering is that we can configure your solution any way you’d like: With our industry-first Developer Network, you can extend the One Network suite of applications to include your own intellectual property or build a new solution from scratch. All solutions are built using this robust set of developer tools. No longer do you need to try to adapt unique government processes into generic, unusable commercial systems.
Many Proven Successes of this technology
Our technology helped the U.S. Marine Corps win the prestigious DON IM/IT Excellence Award for the AMMO project. This honorable award recognizes the superior quality of Information Management/Information Technology projects. This validates our efforts at transforming the Navy.
