Workspace provides rapid, high-quality visibility into your supply chain by absorbing and correlating structured and unstructured data. This allows you to see relationships between disparate data without incurring expensive data mapping and transformation costs.

Workspace absorbs structured and unstructured information in its raw state and extracts word sets from these documents. The Workspace engine connects and correlates these documents and their words to create a chain of documents (Flows) and a network of words (Ripple).

Common Challenges in Monitoring Supply Chains

Unpredictability in the Supply Chain: Leads to low trust in on-time delivery, SLA penalties, high costs, and high inventory levels.

Delayed Awareness and Low Visibility: Lack of a central source of truth for order fulfillment; legacy systems fail to process unstructured data, missing critical insights.

Complex Data Integration: Companies face transformation challenges due to 'one-off' internal systems and difficulty mapping data to a unified model.

Qualitative vs. Quantitative: Traditional tools focus narrowly on quantitative metrics and lack the capability to explain behavioral aspects like trust or predictability.

Workspace Capabilities

Workspace imports all curated supply chain information in its original state to create a single, accurate version of the truth. It generates an end-to-end view of the supply chain, incorporating data from multiple systems, partners, and tiers. Workspace can track order statuses, shipment updates, inventory levels, vendor communications, production milestones, delivery confirmations, emails, and PDF documents. Exceptions detected in real-time include anomalies, chronic conditions, crises, opportunities, and expected outcomes.
