BOM, sourcing, and lead times under control

Supply Chain

Knows logistics like a veteran supply chain manager

Like the best supply chain specialist you have worked with: sees the shortage six weeks before it stops the line.

Sound familiar?

The shortage list is discovered when the pick list cannot be filled. Approved alternatives live in someone's head, lead times in the supplier's latest email. When a component goes end-of-life, the detective work begins: where is it used, what can replace it, and who has to approve?

What I take off your desk

Concrete work, not promises. Everything is a proposal; you approve.

Shortage watch with lead time

I cross the BOM against stock, lead times, and demand and flag shortages while there is still room to act.

An AVL that is maintained

Approved suppliers and alternatives documented per part, with history and rationale.

Where is this part used?

When a component goes end-of-life I show immediately which products are affected and which alternatives are already approved.

The lead time picture assembled

Lead times and delivery precision per supplier compiled from the ERP, not from memory.

How your digital colleagues work

The same rules for every colleague, built in from the start.

( 01 )

They know your business

The colleagues read your own documents and your own business data. No generic answers; your part numbers, your customers, your processes.

( 02 )

They propose, you decide

Every draft and every change goes through you or a flesh-and-blood colleague. Nothing is published without human approval.

( 03 )

Everything is traceable

Every document is a plain file in a version-controlled repository you own. You always see who changed what and why.

( 04 )

You are never locked in

All your knowledge can be exported at any time, in open formats. It is your data, not ours.

Curious what it feels like?

We run pilot programs with a few manufacturing companies at a time. Tell us about your business and we will show what the colleagues can do with your documents and your data.
