Three Phases to Operational Intelligence

From data to decisions in 2–3 weeks. Read-only by default. You stay in control.

Phase 1: Connect

Bring Your Data

ShadowOps plugs into your ERP and plant-floor systems. 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

Phase 2: Model

What Happens Automatically

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

Timeline: Week 2 (Happens in background while you review early alerts)

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 based on role and responsibility:

  • ✓
    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%
