To support users uncover hidden risks, monitor upstream or downstream activities and reveal movement patterns across facilities worldwide at scale, Orbital Insight, the leader in geospatial analytics, has released its Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) solution.
SCI combines artificial intelligence (AI), multi-source data, and location analytics. It helps organisations detect connections between specific areas over time, including supply chains, global migration patterns, commutes, tourism activity, and anything else involving goods or people's movement.
Kevin O'Brien, CEO, Orbital Insight, said enterprises and government agencies make big decisions without a clear picture of what's happening in their own operations and external networks of business and societal connections. SCI enables them to quickly make sense of connection points and provide critical visibility while respecting people's privacy. 'Predicting change sooner helps our customers make smarter investments, avoid costly surprises and find new opportunities,' he added.
The level of visibility into the indirect supply chain, especially first-mile, is hard to achieve. However, the traceability feature of SCI supports companies to get industry supply chain transparency that can improve their sustainability, social and corporate governance efforts. Besides, it also adds new dimensions to existing GO capabilities, such as monitoring manufacturing downtime or disruptions in operations and assessing foot traffic in urban settings as employees start to return to office buildings. SCI will also benefit government agencies, the company added.
