Three Phases to Earlier Operational Decisions

From plant data to operator-ready actions in 2–3 weeks. Read-only by default, with your team in control.

Phase 1: Connect

Bring Your Data

Connect ERP and plant-floor context so your team can see risk in one place. Start simple:

  • ✓
    Pilot phase:
    Upload a CSV with jobs, work centers, inventory, and constraints
  • ✓
    Scale phase:
    Connect via API or direct database connector
  • ✓
    No extraction:
    ShadowOps reads only—never changes your source systems

Operator outcome: your team gets first baseline risk signals in Week 1.

Supported Data Sources

  • ✓
    CSV / Excel
    Ideal for pilot
  • ✓
    REST API
    Standard integrations
  • ✓
    Direct DB read
    Read-only connectors
  • ✓
    ERP connectors
    SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Delmia

Phase 2: Model

What Gets Modeled Automatically

  • ✓
    Constraint detection
    Material, labor, machine, schedule
  • ✓
    Capacity modeling
    Per work center
  • ✓
    Supply chain analysis
    Forecast + inventory
  • ✓
    Queue & lead-time
    Automatic calculation

Operator outcome: better confidence in why jobs are at risk and where constraints are forming.

Zero Configuration

No manual setup of constraints or work center rules. ShadowOps learns from your data and infers the model automatically.

Our system identifies:

  • ✓
    Materials at risk
    Shortage risk and timing
  • ✓
    Bottleneck work centers
    Capacity and overbooking
  • ✓
    Queue build-ups
    Where time accumulates
  • ✓
    Labor constraints
    Skills and availability

Phase 3: Alert & Recommend

Smart Notifications

Alerts are routed to the right people by role so response is faster and clearer:

  • ✓
    Production Manager
    Job risk scores, constraint details, reschedule recommendations
  • ✓
    Procurement
    Material shortage alerts, suggested reorders
  • ✓
    Customer Service
    Delivery risk for customer orders
  • ✓
    Leadership
    Plant-wide risk summary

Recommendations You Control

ShadowOps suggests actions—you decide:

  • ✓
    Reschedule
    Free up machine for Job A
  • ✓
    Expedite PO-1234
    Material arrives in 3 days instead of 7
  • ✓
    Add overtime
    Work Center 5 next Tuesday
  • ✓
    Notify customer
    Delivery risk is 15%

Operator outcome: teams can prioritize action before customer impact.
