  • Patent number: 11687880
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system for providing interfaces for visualizing and managing a supply chain includes an inventory readiness date system that is configured to generate inventory readiness dates for items in the supply chain. Inventory readiness dates can (i) be calendar dates on which the items are expected to be available for distribution at destination locations, (ii) be generated upon creation of orders for the items, (ii) be configured to remain fixed and unchanged for the items regardless of events affecting delivery of the items to the destination locations. The system can further include a supply chain data system that is configured to receive and aggregate supply chain information for the items from a plurality of supply chain data sources. The system can further include a supply chain tracking system that is configured to generate and present interfaces for visualizing and managing the supply chain.

  • Publication number: 20220207449
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system for tracking orders in a supply chain includes one or more processors; and computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations including receiving a request for an order metric for an order, wherein the order includes a plurality of items being distributed to a plurality of destination locations across a plurality of loads. The operations can further include identifying (i) inventory readiness dates for the items in the order and (ii) the loads transporting the items to their respective destination locations, wherein the inventory readiness dates specify predetermined first calendar dates on which the items are scheduled to be ready for distribution from the corresponding destination locations. The operations can further include outputting the order metric, wherein the order metric provides an aggregate view of the order's status across the plurality of loads transporting the items.

  • Publication number: 20220198391
    Abstract: An inventory readiness date is received that specifies a first calendar date on which an order of items should be ready at each items' respective destination location. For each item of the order, an arrival date before the readiness date is determined, the arrival date specifying a second calendar date on which the item should arrive at the item's respective destination location. A departure date before the arrival date is determined, the departure date specifying a third calendar date on which the item should depart the item's respective source location. For each item of the order, an inventory readiness metric is determined based on the item's travel based on tracking data for the item as the item travels from the item's respective source location to the respective destination location.

  • Publication number: 20220198382
    Abstract: For each of a plurality of orders, an inventory readiness date is received that specifies a first calendar date on which the order of items should be ready at each items' respective destination location. For each item of each order, an arrival date before the readiness date is determined, the arrival date specifying a second calendar date on which the item should arrive at the item's respective destination location. For each item of the order, a corresponding load that the item is a member of is maintained. For each item of the plurality of orders, an inventory readiness metric is generated based on the item's travel based on tracking data for the item's load as the item's load travels from the item's respective source location to the respective destination location.
