Continuous performance monitoring
Track on-time delivery, lead times, and quality trends for every supplier and material.
The Challenge
Late supplier signals threaten production
Operations managers depend on reliable suppliers to hit production targets. When delivery and quality issues are spotted too late, lines stop, costs spike, and customer commitments slip. Traditional tracking tools deliver insights only after the damage is done.
Proactive delay alerts
Get early warnings when shipments miss milestones so teams can act before schedules slip.
Quality assurance integration
Link inspection data to supplier profiles to escalate recurring quality failures automatically.
Material availability forecasting
Blend inventory levels with supplier reliability to maintain the right safety stock and avoid shortages.
Configuration
Configure supplier oversight around your production reality
Define performance thresholds, shipment milestones, and quality tolerances that align with each plant and product line.
- Policy-aligned scorecards for delivery, quality, and responsiveness
- Conversational status checks that surface root-cause evidence on demand
- Auto-built visibility for plant heads, planners, and category managers
Capabilities
Outcomes your team feels daily
Each module combines AI guardrails with human oversight so you can move faster without sacrificing compliance or visibility.
Supplier scorecards
Track OTIF, rejection rates, and responsiveness in one dashboard with AI-generated performance reviews.
Delivery milestone tracking
Connect logistics data to each PO so you can monitor shipments, ETAs, and escalations in real time.
Quality trend analysis
Link quality inspection data to supplier records to identify non-conformance patterns before they worsen.
Material shortage prevention
Blend supplier risk scores with inventory levels to recommend safety stock buffers and alternates.
Production impact assessment
Tie procurement progress to production schedules so planners see risks against critical paths instantly.
Scenario planning
Model contingencies by simulating supplier delays, switching options, and capacity constraints across plants.
How it Works
Stages we automate and audit
Supplier onboarding to production alignment
- Score suppliers on capacity, certifications, and responsiveness before onboarding
- Link approved vendors to materials, BOMs, and plant-level requirements
- Automated checks flag single-source risks and high-risk geographies
Delivery execution monitoring
- Milestone tracking for dispatch, transit, and receipt events
- AI predictions update expected delivery dates based on live data
- Escalations trigger when milestones slip to keep teams aligned
Quality & production assurance
- Non-conformance and rejection trends tied to each supplier
- Alternative supplier suggestions when risk scores degrade
- Impact analysis shows which production orders are threatened
