The Team

The Role: Product Expert PLM and ERP
Altana's mission is to fix globalization. At the heart of that mission is a problem most enterprises know intimately but haven't been able to solve: the systems that define, source, build, and ship products don't talk to each other—and the cracks between them are where compliance breaks down, duties are miscalculated, and supply chain risk hides in plain sight.
PLM systems know what a product is designed to be. ERP systems know what was ordered and built. Trade and logistics systems know what was shipped and declared. In theory, these should tell a coherent story. In practice, the products these systems model diverge, lack granularity or were stylized in a way that makes the changing face of globalization break down.
The as-designed BOM, the as-sourced BOM, and the as-built BOM diverge—silently, constantly—and nobody finds out until a shipment is held, an audit is triggered, or a forced labor allegation surfaces three tiers deep in a supply chain no one has fully mapped.
