Supply Chain Visibility Platform

Overview

The Supply Chain Visibility Platform provides end-to-end supply chain visibility with real-time tracking and control tower capabilities. It integrates data from multiple tiers of the supply chain to provide comprehensive visibility, exception management, and predictive analytics for proactive supply chain management.

Capabilities

• Multi-Tier Supplier Visibility: Track materials and products across multiple tiers of the supply chain
• In-Transit Inventory Tracking: Monitor inventory in transit across all modes and carriers
• Exception Management and Alerting: Detect exceptions and trigger appropriate alerts and escalations
• Predictive ETA Modeling: Predict arrival times using historical data and real-time conditions
• Risk Event Monitoring: Monitor for supply chain risk events including weather, geopolitical, and supplier issues
• Performance Dashboards: Provide comprehensive visibility dashboards for supply chain performance
• Collaboration Portal: Enable collaboration between supply chain partners through shared visibility

Tools and Libraries

• Visibility Platforms (Project44, FourKites)
• IoT Integration
• Event Streaming (Kafka)
• Risk Monitoring Services

Used By Processes

• Shipment Tracking and Visibility
• Distribution Network Optimization
• Demand Forecasting
