How Does It Work?
Create Networks
- Configure network settings to define user profiles, connection logic and secure data sharing protocol
- Create highly customisable questionnaires and audits to capture data from your network members and other stakeholders
- Integrate seamlessly with disparate systems such as ERP, CRM or 3rd party financial credit check databases
Connect Network Members
- Add companies to the network directly from your ERP/CRM; or import from a spreadsheet; or select companies already on iQluster
- Invite network companies to connect with you so that you can start to collaborate and share data
- Depending on your connection logic you can allow network companies to connect with other network companies
Collaborate & Share Data Securely
- Capture strategic, financial and technical data securely at predefined frequencies from your network members, such as latest capability data and answers from multiple questionnaires
- Capture operational data such as key performance measures, order book status and capacity profiles
- Streamline the management of network improvement programmes through activity planning and personalised task consoles for multiple stakeholders
Visualise Data In Multiple Formats
- Consolidate all network member data into a summarised network capability matrix or view capability details of individual members
- Easily configure how network data is presented using customisable location maps and supply chain connection maps
- Benchmark and rank network member performance based on the criteria you have defined
Analyse Consolidated Big Data
- Consolidate all the data captured directly from your network members, integrated systems and 3rd party sources
- Create advanced reports and dashboards by analysing all network data using advanced filters and presenting using intuitive graphical formats
- Share network intelligence securely with selected colleagues or external partners by providing on-line access to selected dashboards and/or automatically publishing customised PDF reports
