Real-Time Inventory Position Intelligence

What we deliver

The Problem (Before)

ERP shows planned inventory, not reality. In-transit and at-yard invisible. Stockouts detected too late.

Who feels this:

Supply Chain Manager

The Outcome (After)

Inventory visible in real time: on-hand, in-transit, in-yard. Stockouts predicted 7-14 days ahead.

What makes this different:

ERP shows planned inventory, not reality. Inventory Twin shows actual position in real time: what is on-hand, what is in-transit, and what is sitting in a trailer in the yard.

How it works

The building blocks behind this outcome.
What Happens

Real-time inventory levels (on-hand, in-transit, in-yard) with batch/lot tracking, configurable projections, IoT integration for bin-level accuracy, and automated cycle counting.

The Intelligence Behind It

Network demand signals for SKU velocity

Supply risk indicators from supplier/lane patterns

Cross-company inventory flow patterns

This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.

Why This Cannot Be Replicated

ERP shows planned inventory, not reality. Inventory Twin shows actual position in real time: what is on-hand, what is in-transit, and what is sitting in a trailer in the yard. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Any analytics tool can query your data. Only FourSight queries the Graph: 11 years of cross-company intelligence that cannot be replicated with software alone.

Inventory Intelligence

Real-Time Inventory Position Intelligence is one outcome in a broader transformation. When deployed alongside these outcomes, inventory decisions are driven by real-time positions and forward-looking risk signals, not safety stock buffers. The Inventory Twin projects demand. The Shipment Twin feeds live inbound data. Stockout risk is detected 7-14 days in advance.

Validation

Deployment Evidence

Live in enterprise production, showing real-time on-hand, in-transit, and in-yard inventory with early stockout prediction.

Expected Impact Range

Lower in-transit inventory and released working capital by seeing true positions and predicting stockouts days ahead.
