A late part gets expensive fast: premium freight, overtime, and customer orders that ship late. Cartograph catches it early, while the fix is still cheap, and does the chasing for you.
The later you find a shortage, the fewer options you have, and the more the fix costs.
Waiting on parts means moving jobs around the floor and paying overtime to catch up.
One late part can hold up a customer order, and with it revenue and the customer’s trust.
Cartograph checks every open order against when you need the parts, and flags the ones that will arrive too late, days or weeks ahead.
Scout Agent looks for the cheapest way to recover, by email or on the phone, and never agrees to a cost without you.
When a delivery doesn’t match the order, Cartograph opens a task right away, and Scout Agent asks the supplier how they’ll make it right.
Cartograph links each part to the customer orders that need it, so you know which late deliveries matter most, and work those first.

Read lessonCartograph compares when each open order will arrive with when its part runs short. When the order lands after that date, a readiness signal opens an expedite task. Cartograph doesn't predict delays. It works from the data already on your records.
Scout Agent follows your expedite playbook. The starter playbook measures how late or short each line is, checks the cheaper internal fixes first, such as other inbound orders or stock at another site, then asks each supplier for recovery options with cost and a new date, including an earlier date, a partial shipment, a split, alternate stock or a substitute. A person on your team decides. Your team can change the playbook.
Your team does. The starter playbook requests approval before the expedite goes ahead, and any email or call that matches one of your approval rules waits for a person. You can decline with a reason, such as asking the supplier to split the shipment first.
Another readiness signal opens a task when an order will arrive well before it's needed, so your team can delay or reduce it.
Yes. Once the date is approved, it's updated on the order in your ERP. You choose which fields Cartograph may update, and every update is logged.
Yes. The readiness signals for orders take exceptions, such as skipping orders from one supplier. Exceptions are read in order and the first match wins. Orders that match none follow the usual timing.
We'll look at your late and at-risk orders with you, and the checks you'd turn on first.
