The broken Monday
Living and dying by the Excel order book.
From distribution leaders we have sat with: a CIO running three operating companies from one shared inbox, and a commercial director at a family-owned chemical distribution group with four entities across the US and Europe. Both run the week from Excel order books, email, and portal logins.
The order book is the real system
“Our operations are living and dying by our order books and inventory.” The business has been trying to replace those spreadsheets for years — they are still where the truth actually lives.
The facts never reach the ERP
A customer moves a delivery date, a vessel slips a week, and the news lands in the shared inbox — the correspondence for stuff that doesn’t get into the ERP, where no report will ever find it.
The ship is late; the meeting finds out
“This ship is delayed by X days, this is going to affect these customers, this is how you should prioritize” — today that triage happens in someone’s head, after the delay email is noticed.
Six portals, one login each
Stock at the terminals lives in six or seven port-terminal portals, each with its own login and its own report format. Someone pulls every one by hand before the number can be trusted.
The margin question nobody flags
“When we look at the inventory costs, we’re looking at it per metric ton — we worry about the cost per ton.” When the average cost sits too close to the selling price, that stock has to move fast — and today nobody flags it.
What waiting costs
The chemical ERP swap won’t fix the view.
The ERP you are replacing at year-end never read the inbox or the port portals — and the new one won’t either. Even a simple question — what do we have, what is late, what is at risk — means asking someone to pull a report, and the answer lands hours or days later. Meanwhile the costs below compound every month you wait.

How it works
We build your supply chain control tower.
We assess your data sources and operating requirements, agree the workflow, and build a dashboard with your team. Hosting and ongoing support form part of the scope.
- 01
Trace one operating week
We follow the questions your leaders actually ask — what is in stock, what is late, what is at risk — from order book to inbox to portal, and log every place the answer breaks.
- 02
Encode the rules
Cost-per-ton margin floors, delay triage, customer priorities, capacity limits — documented against your contracts and encoded as rules you own, not settings inside rented software.
- 03
Test the connected view
Test the available ERP, inbox, portal, and price data against the agreed rules. Vessel identifiers, refresh timing, and approval requirements are defined with the team before production.
Inventory forecasting software rents you the engine. Your rules are the product.
Search the problem and the first page teaches you to build the dashboard yourself — Power BI tutorials, templates, design galleries. Licensed forecasting software ships generic models that cannot see your port portals, your shared inbox, or your cost-per-ton rules, so your team becomes the integration layer.
We build the AI agents in your cloud, against your data, on rules encoded from how your business actually runs. You own the IP; your team gets the view without learning Power BI; and we stay on to run it with you.
