What is a visibility process and how does it add value?
A visibility process represents a self-contained part of a business scenario. You can look at transportation, for example, from the seller’s (outbound) point of view or from the buyer’s (inbound) point of view, since transportation forms part of various business scenarios, in this case both the inbound and outbound process. The fulfillment visibility process represents the business process from shipment creation including warehouse activities such as picking, packing, and loading, through proof of delivery by the customer, including visibility into carrier operations. If the shipment includes an overseas leg, you could build the entire visibility scenario by including the transportation visibility process in addition to the fulfillment visibility process. A visibility process is a building block that you can reuse to make up a complete scenario. These processes can help you reduce implementation efforts by 40%.
