"Phaseout- & Supplierriskmanagement with SOLEY"

4/5

What do you like best about Soley?

1) Immense time & resource savings:

• Soley performs mass analyses on all bills of materials both up and down the BoM hierarchies and links them to the value stream.

• Soley offers the possibility to introduce conditions to these analyses that were not possible within SAP - either in general or in terms of processing time.

• Analyses that we perform with Soley used to take us several days, sometimes even several weeks and can now be done within a few minutes.

2) Motivated and solution-oriented team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Soley?

As a Start-Up Soley tailored their Apps to the most important use cases and is continuously improving them with a motivated team. However, the UI and the flexibility of the Apps are still far from tools like Power BI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Soley:

Soley is definetely worth a look if you are dealing with a complex portfolio structure and spend a lot of time in Excel analyses. Not only will you save time, but also new use cases of the available data might come to your mind. As a tool owner I experience my counterparts at Soley as motivated and solution oriented.

However, for us Soley is and was no plug and play solution. We spend quite some time for the definition and validation of our (custom-made) analyses and will still need a tool-owner over the next year(s) for further development and maintenance of our Soley Application. This might be different for standard applications, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Soley solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are especially interested in exclusivity analyses, e.g.: “which components are only used in the BoMs of a predefined set of products” or “which components are only delivered by a predefined set of suppliers”.

1) Phase out process:

• Soley helps us to identify components that can be phased out along with a set of products

• Using the same analysis, the other way around we can identify in how many products/BoMs a specific component is used. That way we can identify components that are used only in a very limited number of products and hence contradict the modular principle.

• Both analyses help us to streamline our active portfolio

• Soley reduces the time that we need for the technical side of these analyses down to a couple of minutes

2) Impact analyses of risky suppliers:

• Soley helps us to identify and evaluate risky suppliers at an early stage.

• Hypothetical scenario analyses can be used to substantiate the impact of potential supplier failures.

• In the case of suppliers that are rated as critical, measures can be derived in time and, thus, delivery failures can be avoided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A collaboration tool for the phase-out process"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Soley?

We are a 104-year-old family business. This also means that we use a data structure that has grown over decades, which in part deviates from the familiar standards of common ERP systems. And this is exactly where Soley's strength lies. Customer centricity is at the forefront here.

It was only through committed employees driven by the idea of customer centricity that we were able to decisively drive the market exit process.

By linking the data, the integrated collaboration platform and the analysis tables, we have gained enormous time resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Soley?

The UI (diagrams etc.) definitely serve their purpose, but they are not really up-to-date anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Soley solving and how is that benefiting you?

Phase out process:

Before we used Soley for our market phase out process, the process was dominated by countless Excel lists.

Unfortunately, the discussions between sales and engineering were much more about who had the "right" numbers, so the important discussion about removing a product did not happen.

Since the introduction of the tool, we have had much higher quality discussions about the portfolio.

During the collaboration with Soley, we have identified further use cases for us and will tackle these in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
