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.

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.
