Digital Twins (Supply Chain)
A supply chain Digital Twin is a live, connected digital replica of supply chain objects (orders, shipments, facilities, inventory, assets) that continuously updates from execution systems and traces the impact of disruptions across every connected entity in real time.
Why It Matters
Your ERP knows what was ordered. Your TMS knows what shipped. Your WMS knows what is on the shelf. No single system connects all three into one model that reasons about consequences. Digital Twins do.
The FourKites Perspective
FourKites operates five interconnected Digital Twins (Order, Shipment, Facility, Inventory, Asset), each modeling a distinct class of supply chain objects from different execution systems, connected through a unified architecture that traces disruption impact across all of them in seconds.
