AI-Powered STO Rebalancing
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Demand forecasting creates STOs weeks in advance. When actual demand diverges, planners spend their day in Excel deciding which STOs to cancel, divert, or delay. Tier-one customers penalize suppliers who fall short.
Supply Chain Manager
The Outcome (After)
Stock transfer orders optimized automatically. Inventory rebalanced across DCs before customers are impacted.
Planning systems create STOs weeks in advance and never adjust. This system continuously re-optimizes inventory allocation across DCs in real time, executing transfers before stockouts hit your tier-one customers.
How it works
The system monitors inventory across all DCs against committed orders, scores stockout risk by customer tier and revenue impact, and recommends or executes STO creation, diversion, or cancellation automatically.
- Network-wide demand signals for SKU velocity
- Supplier lead time variability by lane and origin
- Cross-DC inventory flow patterns
- Transit time benchmarks for STO rebalancing routes
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years. No single company's data could produce it.
Planning systems create STOs weeks in advance and never adjust. This system continuously re-optimizes inventory allocation across DCs in real time, executing transfers before stockouts hit your tier-one customers. The intelligence layer is what makes the difference. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company supply chain intelligence, with continuous learning from 2.5 million agent actions per month, is what took a decade and cannot be replicated with software alone.
