Operations Command & Smart Steering

Gain real-time visibility. Align promise and execution, detect anomalies early, make data-driven decisions and route teams to one-click fixes with powerful monitoring, alerting, and reporting.

Steer your operations with real-time visibility and high-quality data

Stockouts, backorders, and missed OTIF creep in when promise and execution drift. Teams see symptoms, not causes, and fixes arrive too late.

Kbrw serves as a fulfillment orchestration & execution layer that captures near real-time fulfillment events to standardize metrics, alert on ATP and execution anomalies, and deep-link users to the right corrective view or playbook. Version policies and alerts and roll them out progressively.

Our approach: Observe, Detect, Act, Learn.

Smart Monitoring and Alerting

Benefit from a real-time, exhaustive view of your business and supply chain processes, detect early deviations, and guide users to the right action instantly.

Industrial-Grade, Configurable Metrics

Metrics are defined by path, type/aggregation, and aggregation schema (e.g. min to hour to day) to manage precision and historical depth. This structure ensures reliable tracking of volumes, rates, and lead times over time.

Smart Alerts (Default and Custom)

Smart Steering offers flexible alert configuration to fit your operational needs. You can define static thresholds, for instance, triggering an alert if a picking task exceeds 24 hours within the past day. Alternatively, use dynamic thresholds that adapt automatically by comparing current performance against historical patterns or applying multiplicative factors.

The frequency of checks and notifications is fully customizable, allowing alerts to be as responsive or as consolidated as desired. Notifications can be delivered via email or directly within the business portal, following role-based routing to ensure the right person receives the right alert.

Finally, alerts redirect users straight to the right view so they can act directly on flagged issues.

Configure monitoring and alerts for any process or metric, including these standard KPIs:

  • Inventory (out-of-stock rate, inventory accuracy, inventory turnover rate…)
  • Promise (sourcing performance, pending orders…)
  • Execution (OTIF, CSAT, order processing time…)

Customized Reports

FAQ - Operations Command & Smart Steering

 

What is Kbrw’s Operations Command & Smart Steering solution? Kbrw’s Operations Command & Smart Steering is a real-time visibility and decision-support layer that sits alongside your ERP. It aligns promise and execution, detects anomalies early, and helps teams resolve issues with one-click guided actions. The solution includes monitoring, alerting, reporting, and playbooks, without requiring any replatforming.
How does the solution help prevent stockouts, backorders, and missed OTIF?

Kbrw continuously monitors SCOR-based metrics across sourcing, preparation, shipping, and delivery. When anomalies occur (such as ATP inconsistencies, delayed picks, or lead-time deviations) it triggers static or dynamic alerts and deep-links users directly to the impacted order, site, or process. This enables fast diagnosis and rapid corrective action before issues cascade into stockouts or OTIF failures.

What kinds of alerts and automations can be configured?

Smart Steering supports highly flexible alerts:

• Static thresholds (e.g., pick task > 24h)
• Dynamic thresholds based on historical patterns
• Role-based routing and custom notification frequency
• Multi-channel delivery (email or business portal)

Each alert links users to the relevant operational view or playbook, allowing them to re-source, re-promise, substitute, or escalate in just one click.

What reporting capabilities does Kbrw provide? The solution delivers standard next-day reports (inventory accuracy, out-of-stock, sourcing performance, OTIF, lead times…) and enables rapid deployment of fully custom dashboards down to SKU, site, or time granularity. All data is structured, SCOR-aligned, and BI-ready with governed schemas and full lineage, making integration into existing analytics stacks effortless.
What benefits can organizations expect?

With real-time monitoring, intelligent detection, and guided actions, organizations can:

• Reduce stockouts and improve ATP reliability
• Increase OTIF and overall execution performance
• Enhance inventory accuracy and detect upstream errors
• Accelerate backorder recovery through SLA-aware prioritization
• Lower cost-to-serve by surfacing exception hotspots
• Speed up time-to-insight with consistent, high-quality metrics
