Manufacturing Line-Stop Prevention
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Material planners are the human integration point between MRP, TMS, carrier tracking, and suppliers. Each planner monitors hundreds of inbound flows, manually cross-referencing exceptions across disconnected systems. Every disruption requires investigation across multiple tools. As operations scale globally, this model breaks.

The Outcome (After)
Production line-stop risk flagged hours in advance. Material planners decide, not search.
Material planners are the human integration point between MRP, TMS, and carrier tracking. Tracy replaces that manual cross-referencing by correlating all three systems autonomously, flagging line-stop risk hours in advance.
Tracy
How it works
Tracy continuously correlates inbound shipment ETAs with production schedules, safety stock, and carrier performance; resolves inbound exceptions autonomously; escalates to planners only when human judgment is required.
- Carrier on-time reliability by supplier lane
- Historical lead time variability for production-critical components
- Weather and disruption signals affecting inbound routes
- Cross-company carrier performance benchmarks for supplier negotiations
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.
Material planners are the human integration point between MRP, TMS, and carrier tracking. Tracy replaces that manual cross-referencing by correlating all three systems autonomously, flagging line-stop risk hours in advance. 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.
