Supply chain visibility that helps you act before problems escalate
Use intelligent digital twins to see how goods, assets, and constraints move across your supply chain—so you can anticipate congestion, protect service levels, and coordinate decisions across the network.
Why "visibility" still feels reactive
Most supply chains have more data than ever—but less confidence in what will happen next. Traditional visibility tools answer "Where is it?" Modern operations need answers to "What's about to break—and what should we do?"
What's limiting visibility
Data spread across WMS, TMS, yard, and partner systems
Dashboards that show what already happened
Delays and congestion discovered too late to prevent impact
Decisions made locally that create downstream problems
Control towers that inform—but don't guide action
The predictive approach
Model how the network actually behaves under constraints
Predict congestion and delay before it materializes
Coordinate decisions across the entire supply chain
Take action before problems escalate
Balance service levels with operational efficiency
From tracking to understanding flow
This solution applies the intelligent digital twin model to a specific operational challenge. For a full explanation of the model itself, see:
What is an Intelligent Digital TwinRather than defining the digital twin model itself, supply chain visibility applies it to network flow, congestion, and coordination challenges.
With intelligent digital twins, supply chain visibility becomes a living model of how the network actually behaves.
An intelligent digital twin:
Represents warehouses, yards, terminals, routes, and handoffs
Models constraints such as labor, equipment, space, and schedules
Learns how variability affects flow and service
Predicts congestion and delay before it materializes
This shifts teams from reacting to events to actively managing flow across the system.
A practical, repeatable flow
Connect existing data
Ingest data from WMS, TMS, YMS, IoT, telematics, and partner feeds.
Model the network
Create a digital representation of nodes, routes, capacities, and constraints.
Monitor flow in context
See not just status—but how conditions are evolving across the network.
Predict disruptions
Identify where congestion, delay, or service risk is likely to occur.
Coordinate action
Evaluate alternatives and align decisions across sites and teams.
Where supply chain visibility delivers the most value
Warehouse & yard visibility
Prevent local congestion from spreading.
Predict dock, yard, or labor constraints
Adjust sequencing and appointments proactively
Reduce dwell time and last-minute firefighting
Port & terminal operations
Protect throughput in complex environments.
Anticipate congestion at berths, gates, or storage areas
Test operational changes virtually
Improve coordination across stakeholders
Network-level flow visibility
See the system—not just individual sites.
Understand how delays propagate downstream
Balance cost, speed, and service across routes
Improve end-to-end predictability
Disruption & scenario planning
Prepare for variability.
Simulate demand spikes, weather events, or labor shortages
Evaluate mitigation strategies safely
Improve resilience without guesswork
Logistics & supply chain industry
Used across operations, not just analysts
Control tower & operations teams
Monitor network health in near real time
Spot emerging risks to OTIF early
Coordinate actions across sites
Warehouse & yard managers
See where congestion is building
Adjust staffing, sequencing, or appointments proactively
Reduce last-minute disruptions
Network planners & analysts
Test routing, capacity, and policy changes
Understand trade-offs between cost and service
Support data-driven network improvement
What teams typically achieve
Outcomes depend on network complexity, but teams often target:
Improved
OTIF and service reliability
Reduced
dwell time at critical nodes
Better
network predictability
Fewer last-minute schedule changes and expediting
Better utilization of labor, space, and equipment
The biggest gains come from acting before queues and delays form.
Start with one node or flow. Prove value. Scale.
Start
Choose a congested warehouse, busy yard, terminal, or critical route.
Prove
Validate predictions and interventions using real operational data.
Scale
Extend visibility across additional sites, partners, and scenarios.
