weeks ahead. To no one.
Stock, demand and supply live in different systems, updated on different days. By the time a shortage shows up in one report, the line is already waiting for the part.
Lead times assumed.
Plans use the lead time the supplier quotes, not the one they actually deliver.
Found at the line.
The shortage is noticed when a job can’t start.

The AI finds the gap and the options. Buyers decide.
Illustrative example. Parts, suppliers and quantities are fictional.
Built on the systems you trust.
Your ERP stays the record. The AI reads it, and everything around it.
Reads what ERP can’t.
Supplier emails, PDFs and portals, not just the fields in the purchase order.
How Sense works ↗Real lead times.
Projections use how suppliers actually deliver, not what they quote.
How Anticipate works ↗Acts through your process.
Expedites and transfers are raised as requests in your own systems.
APIs & connectors ↗Same records.
