THOUGHTSPOT FOR SUPPLY CHAIN
Navigate hidden costs, inventory gaps, and compliance risks before they hit your bottom line with AI analytics.


THE CHALLENGE
Your OTIF dropped three points last week. But inventory lives in your WMS, shipments in your TMS, supplier data in your ERP, and carrier updates in email. By the time your analysts reconcile this information into an exception report, the penalties are already accruing. The lag between disruption and decision is where revenue dies.
MEET SPOTTER
Ask why OTIF dropped. Ask which suppliers are trending toward a breach. Ask where you're exposed heading into peak. Spotter reasons through your WMS, TMS, and ERP data the way a senior supply chain analyst would. Your analysts move upstream, your operators move faster, and your decisions outpace disruption.

SUPPLY CHAIN USE CASES
Pinpoint which carriers, lanes, and SKUs are driving OTIF misses and drill from aggregate service level to specific shipment exceptions in seconds—before penalties hit or reconciliation reports catch up.
Sharpen demand planning with granular sales forecasts, and translate them directly into inventory optimization, surfacing imbalances across distribution nodes before stockouts or excess holding costs compound.
Analyze carrier performance, lane economics, and service-level trade-offs to optimize your transportation network by shifting volume between carriers or modes based on cost, speed, and reliability.
Improve supplier collaboration on procurement, orders, delivery, lead times, and quality by embedding agentic analytics directly in your supplier portal.
Proactively drive cost savings using agentic insights and automated workflows to help manage POs, invoices, and spend by category, material, supplier, and more.
Easily cross-reference supplier attributes, carbon data, and compliance certifications across data sources for auditable, real-time reports that minimize regulatory risk and help meet sustainability requirements.
PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

OTIF means different things to different regions, and fill rate definitions vary by site. Spotter Semantics ensures your supply chain metrics are defined once, governed everywhere, and scoped by role, region, and customer, so everyone is working from one version of supply chain truth.
EXPLORE SPOTTER SEMANTICSInventory, shipments, supplier lead times, and order updates live in disconnected systems. Spotter Connectors unify this fragmented landscape so your team can ask questions and get answers that span the entire supply chain—without waiting for data engineering to build another pipeline.
EXPLORE SPOTTER CONNECTORSBuilding dashboards to track carrier performance, lane economics, and inventory positions used to take weeks and multiple revision cycles. SpotterViz generates them tailored to the most complex use cases in minutes—no backlog, rework, or waiting required.
EXPLORE SPOTTERVIZEnterprise AI Trust makes every insight explainable, auditable, and secure. Row-level security restricts visibility by region or site, column-level controls protect pricing and contract terms, and bring-your-own-LLM offers flexibility with zero data retention.

INFRASTRUCTURE
You can layer row-level security on top to ensure regional managers only see their nodes while maintaining consistent metric definitions enterprise-wide. The semantic layer also handles edge cases through Spotter Instructions, where you teach the AI how your organization defines terms in natural language.
For example, you can specify that "on-time" means delivery within the customer's requested window, not the carrier's promised date, and Spotter applies that logic consistently across every query. This eliminates the reconciliation meetings where different teams argue about whose numbers are correct because everyone is working from the same governed source of truth.
