Supplier Performance Monitoring

Tracks supplier delivery performance, quality metrics, and pricing compliance in real time — flagging underperforming suppliers and recommending alternatives.

Inventory Optimization

Analyzes consumption patterns, lead times, and demand variability to optimize safety stock levels and reorder points — minimizing carrying costs while preventing stockouts.

Shortage Prediction & Prevention

Predicts material shortages weeks before they impact production by analyzing supplier lead times, order status, and demand forecasts — triggering proactive mitigation.

Automated RFQ Processing

Generates and distributes requests for quotation, evaluates supplier bids against criteria, and recommends optimal sourcing decisions — accelerating procurement cycles.

Multi-Site Supply Coordination

Coordinates material flow across multiple manufacturing sites, optimizing inter-facility transfers and consolidating orders for volume discounts.
