Supply chain

A ship runs late. Line 2 keeps running.

When a shipment slips, Horizon traces the delay to the sites, lines and orders it affects and proposes a response for your team to review.

Illustrative scenario with demo data. An AIS update moves the ETA of the vessel from Gothenburg to Port of Hamburg from Tue 06:00 to Fri 06:00, 3 days late. It carries bearings for Kassel Pump Plant, line 2. Horizon checks the process model, the supply agreement's 2-day buffer and the ERP, where safety stock covers 1.5 days. It proposes pulling bearings from Lyon DC and resequencing line 2. Your team reviews it and creates a ServiceNow incident; write-back covers ServiceNow incidents only and is in beta. The inbound logistics team books the stock transfer, 2,400 bearings arrive Tue 06:10, and line 2 keeps running.

Illustrative scenario with demo data: delayed delivery.

The loop

The loop on a shipment

  1. Step 1

    Observe

    AIS positions, port congestion, weather and news land on the Globe next to your sites and lanes.

  2. Step 2

    Model

    Shipments link to their legs and to the flows on your enterprise map, so a vessel leads to the shipments on board.

  3. Step 3

    Optimize

    An ETA past the planned arrival, a customs hold or stale tracking raises a finding with its source attached.

  4. Step 4

    Act

    Agents draft a response, such as a proposal to reroute orders through another warehouse. A person approves or declines it.

Signals

Many feeds, a few decisions

Events from AIS, news, weather, fire detection and supplier filings pass a relevance check. What touches your network comes out as a proposal with links to the events behind it.

  • Each proposal cites its sources
  • Nothing runs until a person approves it
Connected feeds send events all day.Wisp checks each event against your sites, suppliers and open orders.What matters arrives as a proposal. A person reviews it before anything changes.
Supplier research, preview

Research a supplier site before you rely on it

Run Research on a supplier location in Horizon. Cited findings come back as a briefing draft that a person accepts or rejects.

  • Every finding links to its source
  • The draft changes nothing until someone accepts it
Pick a site, supplier or region on the map.Research runs on that exact object, with the focus you choose.Each example finding links to its source.The result waits as a draft. Nothing enters the dossier until someone accepts it.

ETA slip on MV Atlantic Motor Star

The carrier moved the arrival 45 hr past the planned window and cites weather and port congestion. A watchpoint on the lane turns the slip into a finding, with the carrier feed as its source.
