Company overview

River Dynamics is a software-as-a-service company focused on providing collaborative workflow driven solutions that enable our clients to reduce total cost of ownership, improve workflow efficiency and integrate your business partners into your activities.

Our supplier management and optimization system, Intelligent Supplier Management (ISM), is unique in that it is the first system that intelligently allocates work to suppliers based on their (recent) historical performance in the areas of cost, quality, timeliness, and outcomes that are relevant to the purchaser. This is a significant improvement over traditional supply chain management (SCM) systems have focused almost exclusively on goods procurement. These catalogue-based/auction systems are inappropriate for effectively procuring professional services.

Our case management system, Intelligent Case Management (ICM), builds on the capabilities of ISM. It provides a virtual case management folder that can be used in any case management scenario allowing internal staff, external suppliers and customers to collaborate in the successful resolution of cases.

All our solutions enable a highly efficient business process, ensure compliance, and provide much improved management information.

Customers benefit from a lower total cost of ownership. User producticity is improved by an efficient task based, workflow system. Improvements in supplier performance are directly correlated with the relative weightings that our clients assign to different performance measures (e.g. cost, timeliness, quality, business outcome etc.), so they receive the greatest improvements in the areas that are most important to them.

Consulting services are a crucial component of each implementation. All of our implementations begin with a detailed analysis of the business objectives. We then follow a structured, proven methodology, to ensure that the system meets these requirements. Our best practice guidelines, based on experience from our implementations, are applied to all new clients.

As ICM and ISM are both web-based, they can be implemented very rapidly (users only need an internet browser to access the system).

ICM and ISM are typically hosted by River Dynamics as a software-as-a-service offering enabling our clients to deploy quickly while still providing the strictest security and service level requirements. Alternatively, the system can be hosted in-house in our clients' data center.
