SUPPLY CHAIN CONTROL

Connect inventory, orders and transport data to see shortages earlier, assess the options, and coordinate a response across the network.

01

One shortage can span five systems.

Sales sees an order at risk. The warehouse sees available units. Transport sees capacity. Procurement sees incoming supply. When those views remain separate, teams lose time assembling an answer and may buy or expedite stock already available elsewhere.

02

Make allocation a network decision.

NOVV links stock, demand, orders, lead times and movement constraints. Teams can assess a transfer or replenishment decision against service commitments, availability and cost, then send the approved action into the relevant workflow.

Illustrative workflow
  1. 01
    Trigger
    An order exceeds local availability.
  2. 02
    Check
    The system checks stock at other locations, existing commitments and feasible transfer times.
  3. 03
    Options
    The system presents the viable options to the planner.
  4. 04
    Action
    An approved transfer is passed to the connected warehouse workflow, and its progress is tracked.
Decisions
AVAILABILITY
What can be used, where is it, and what is already committed?
ALLOCATION
Which customer or location should receive constrained supply?
REPLENISHMENT
Should we buy more, transfer stock, or adjust timing?
EXCEPTIONS
Which delay needs intervention before a commitment is missed?
Published industry example

In July 2026, Hitachi reported that its storage manufacturing site in Norman, Oklahoma, applied AI to global demand forecasting and inventory management, cutting lead time from order to shipment by 77% and inventory by 50%. The World Economic Forum recognized the site as a Global Lighthouse.

This is an external industry example, not a NOVV project or a forecast of results for a NOVV engagement.

Outcome focus
Improve stock availability.
Reduce avoidable expediting.
Put inventory to better use.
03

Measure service and capital together.

Success measures can include shortage frequency, time to resolve allocation exceptions, emergency transport cost and excess stock. Definitions, baselines and measurement periods are agreed with the operating team.

Start with one recurring shortage.

Choose a shortage your teams resolved recently. We trace it through the order, warehouse, transport and procurement records and show where the answer was delayed. That defines the first scope: the sources to connect, the rules to agree and the decision the system needs to support.
