Operational Intelligence for Manufacturing
ShadowOps sits on top of your ERP as a read-only intelligence layer—surfacing risk, explaining constraints, and recommending actions without replacing your existing systems.
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
Risk Scoring
Per-job and per-work-center risk scores updated continuously. Know which orders are most likely to slip before your team feels the heat.
Constraint Detection
Automatic identification of material shortages, labor gaps, machine utilization, and schedule conflicts. No manual setup.
Root-Cause Narrative
Plain-language explanations of why a job is at risk. Not a cryptic dashboard—actual reasoning your team can act on immediately.
Recommendations
AI-powered suggestions for procurement, rescheduling, or mitigation. You review and decide—we never auto-execute changes.
Role-Based Alerts
Production managers, procurement, customer service—each gets notifications tailored to their responsibilities.
Audit Trail
Complete record of every alert, recommendation, and decision. Know who saw what, when, and what action was taken.
