5 Supply Chain ‘Emergencies’ That Are Really Just Reporting Problems in Disguise
Many supply chain “emergencies” are really reporting failures caused by siloed or delayed insights. Examples include carriers suddenly underperforming, key customers leaving, peak season bottlenecks, unexplained cost spikes, and rising complaints despite stable metrics. In each case, early warning signs were present but hidden in fragmented data, requiring slow manual analysis. The real fix is enabling teams to instantly query data across carriers, facilities, and customers to detect issues before they escalate. FourKites’ Intelligent Control Tower with natural language analytics provides this real-time visibility, turning crises into manageable adjustments.
