Operator-First Intelligence for Manufacturing
ShadowOps sits on top of your ERP as a read-only layer that helps operators and operations leaders catch risk early and act before delivery dates slip.
Built for Manufacturing Operators
Plant & Production Leaders
See at-risk jobs and bottlenecks before they force reactive schedule changes.
Schedulers & Planners
Understand constraint impact early and compare practical mitigation options.
Procurement & Ops Teams
Get earlier material risk signals with clear priorities on what to expedite first.
What ShadowOps Does (and Doesn't Do)
✓ What It Does
- Scores job risk in real-time (which orders will slip?)
- Detects constraints (material, labor, machine, schedule)
- Explains root causes in plain language
- Recommends non-destructive actions
- Routes alerts to the right roles
- Maintains a complete audit trail
✗ What It Doesn't Do
- Automatically reschedule your jobs
- Replace your ERP or MES
- Change data without user approval
- Make promises it can't keep
- Add complexity to your workflows
- Require a 6-month implementation
Core Capabilities for Faster Decisions
Risk Scoring
Per-job and per-work-center risk scores updated continuously so teams know what is likely to slip next.
Constraint Detection
Automatic identification of material shortages, labor gaps, machine utilization, and schedule conflicts without heavy setup.
Root-Cause Narrative
Plain-language explanations of why a job is at risk, so operators can act without decoding complex dashboards.
Recommendations
Suggestions for procurement, rescheduling, or mitigation that your team reviews and approves.
Role-Based Alerts
Production managers, procurement, and customer service each get role-specific alerts.
Audit Trail
Complete record of alerts, recommendations, and actions for operational accountability.
ShadowOps vs. ERP Dashboards
Your ERP records history. ShadowOps gives operators earlier warning on what is likely to happen next.
