Some of the challenges include: ##### Low engagement Because of the expenses of building point-to-point integrations, few companies are able to connect to more than handful of suppliers. ##### Low engagement version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? ##### Frustration with portals Lack of system-to-system options leads to an over-reliance on portals, each of which add to labor costs for trade partners. ##### Frustration with portals ##### Slow response time Needed information is routed manually by printing to PDF and sending by email. ##### Slow response time ##### Difficulty scaling and evolving Business users leading digitalization need tools that can evolve as their processes evolve without waiting for help from IT. ##### Difficulty scaling and evolving Product benefits ## How OPUS Solution Environment drives transformation ## Low-Cost, No-Code Configurations ## Reduce IT Costs and Backlog ## Improve User Adoption ## Improve SOP Compliance ## Control Data Access ![Expert Strategies](https://www.tracelink.com/sites/default/files/styles/vertical_drawer_desktop_600px_x_336px_/public/2024-03/For%20Internal%2098.png.webp?itok=dsZPK52U) Product benefits ## Low-Cost, No-Code Configurations Reduce the time it takes to update and deploy solutions tailored to the specific needs of your users and partners from months to weeks. ![use cases](https://www.tracelink.com/sites/default/files/styles/vertical_drawer_desktop_600px_x_336px_/public/2024-02/For%20Internal%2082_0.png.webp?itok=MZWj_28_) Product benefits ## Reduce IT Costs and Backlog The no-code OPUS Solution Environment platform makes quick work of requests from business users or external partners for modifications and empowers business users to easily make updates as needed. ![Supply Chain Issues](https://www.tracelink.com/sites/default/files/styles/vertical_drawer_desktop_600px_x_336px_/public/2024-03/For%20Internal%2040.png.webp?itok=gr0IhHPK) Product benefits ## Improve User Adoption Configure UI and field names to reduce user training time and errors. ![Digital network](https://www.tracelink.com/sites/default/files/styles/vertical_drawer_desktop_600px_x_336px_/public/2024-03/For%20Internal%2081.png.webp?itok=g3bM41z-) Product benefits ## Improve SOP Compliance Configure solutions on OPUS to match your and your supply chain partners’ standard operating procedures and reduce errors. ![For Internal 34](https://www.tracelink.com/sites/default/files/styles/vertical_drawer_desktop_600px_x_336px_/public/2024-02/For%20Internal%2034_0.png.webp?itok=eEJtG803) Product benefits ## Control Data Access Apply user permissions to control who can view and edit data and under what circumstances.

See how Solution Designer can be used to build efficiencies and enable collaboration between you and your partners. Use cases ### Enhance workflow The Incident process in the Supply Chain Work Management solution provides three base states for an Incident, including “To Do,” “Under Investigation,” and “Closed.” A manufacturing company might want to add an additional sub-state called “Triage” for one of the process networks to encourage users to create all types of issues. The manufacturing company can then use the “Triage” state to decide if an issue can be resolved quickly or if it requires further detailed investigation. Use cases ### Expand shared data Say a manufacturer and supplier partner want to better understand why a received item was put on “Quality Hold.” The manufacturer who has deployed Supply Chain Work Management can use OPUS Solution Environment to add an additional field, “Reason for Hold,” to the Incident Management process, helping the supplier more quickly understand what they need to do to resolve the issue and enabling the manufacturing company to use this data more effectively in continuous improvement projects. With a virtually unlimited number of processes that can be supported with the Task Management capabilities of Supply Chain Work Management, expanding shared data makes clear the input data that is expected from partners. Use cases ### Configure out-of-the-box solutions Manufacturing companies may want to adopt an agile methodology to implement the TraceLink Supply Chain Work Management solution, thereby minimizing the risks of waterfall implementation and speeding reaction to changing business needs. Companies can quickly start with the out-of-the box processes included with the Supply Chain Work Management solution and begin by deploying them at a small scale for internal engagement. Business users can then iteratively test the solution, learn from the results, and use OPUS Solution Environment to make custom changes to processes, data attributes, or role-based access, and then expand the solution to external users in measured steps and over time. Use Cases ### OPUS Solution Environment A company analysis determined that adding a critical approval step for high-value purchase orders may help stay on budget. A change in their process required the ability to intercept a purchase order when a procurement specialist creates an order with materials exceeding $50,000. Using OPUS Solution Environment, a workflow step is added to the MINT Purchase Order transaction that requires orders beyond $50,000 to have an additional approval. Approved orders are sent to suppliers, ensuring the fulfillment of essential resources with minimal back-and-forth, while maintaining financial control and organizational oversight. ### Explore related products [ See all products ](/products/product-explorer) [ Multienterprise information network tower ](/solution-suite/multienterprise-information-network-tower) [ Multienterprise information network tower ](/products/partner-orchestration/mint) [ OPUS Platform-Enabling Applications ](/solution-suite/opus-platform-enabling-products) [ OPUS Development Environment ](/products/network-platform-enabling-applications/opus-development-environment) [ Orchestration Intelligence ](/solution-suite/orchestration-intelligence) [ Report and Dashboards ](/products/network-platform-enabling-application/reports-and-dashboards) ![crypto code](https://www.tracelink.com/sites/default/files/styles/recovery_banner_desktop_1224_x_386/public/2024-02/crypto%20code%20recovery%20banner.png.webp?itok=AGKKxHyh) ### Ready to dive into OPUS Solution Environment?
