Automated Monitoring of Supply Chain Flows for Real-Time Anomaly Detection
Unity Central's patented approach visualizes your supply chain as sequences of time-ordered documents and events. Use Unity Central to detect anomalies and deviations, enabling quicker tactical and strategic actions to enhance OTD metrics and customer satisfaction.
Flow: Real-Time Tracking and Detection of Supply Chain Disruptions
Unity Central Flow models your supply chain as sequences of time-ordered documents. Unlike alternatives, Unity Central absorbs and understands structured and unstructured information, creating a comprehensive flow representing your supply chain functions.
Flow engine monitors deviations, classifying them as anomalies, chronic conditions, crises, opportunities, or expected outcomes. It calculates “trust scores” for each step, flow, family of flows, and system.
Automatic Supply Chain Monitoring Capabilities
Model Flows
Model time-ordered sequences of document and events representing critical supply chain activities, such as Order Execution or Source-To-Pay.
Automatically Track Milestones
Track all incoming information for specific document chains, such as purchase orders, monitoring all supply chain activities and expected timelines.
Real-Time and Proactive Alerts
Generate real-time exceptions and proactive alerts to detect anomalies and prevent crises.
Branch and Merge
Manage multiple streams of supply chain events, such as tracking an order split into multiple shipments, and merge back into a single invoice for payment.
FAQ
