Thinklytics helps manufacturing and logistics leaders build a data foundation for supply chain visibility, OEE metrics, and operational analytics.

Data foundation for supply chain visibility, OEE metrics, and operational analytics.

Your supply chain visibility platform is live. Nobody trusts it.

Thinklytics builds the data foundation that connects your ERP, WMS, TMS, and carrier feeds into a single governed layer your operations team can act on.

If you’re leading Operations or Supply Chain, we get what you’re juggling every day.

We team up directly with the IT folks running ERP and WMS systems.

We team up with analytics folks to connect carrier and warehouse data. The goal? Make those two data sets actually talk to each other so you get the full story.

If you’re a COO planning to launch a supply chain visibility platform, we’ve been there. It’s a big step. We help you skip the noise and get straight to real-time insights that actually matter. No filler, just the data that keeps your operations humming.

Here’s how long it usually takes us to build a solid supply chain dashboard.

We’ve tackled a bunch of projects in all sorts of industrial sectors.

We take messy dashboards and fix them with clean, organized data.

We create tools that show exactly what’s going on in real time. No guesswork, no old data, just the facts as they happen.

We put together a supply chain tool thinking it’d simplify things. Instead, it kept showing shipments in the wrong places, threw alerts for problems we’d already fixed, and gave ETAs based on data that was 18 hours old. So yeah, the ops team lost faith in it less than two months after we rolled it out.

We get our hands dirty with ERP data that usually leaves everyone else scratching their heads.

We’ve dealt with it all. Like that time one carrier rolled in using three different codes. Or when the warehouse and transport systems just can’t agree on location names. And don’t get me started on those field names that got changed in the upgrade two years ago but never made it into the reports. That kind of mess? We clean it up every single day.

We build dashboards that ditch manual exports. Forget copying and pasting data. Our dashboards update automatically, giving you real-time insights with zero fuss.

Our operations dashboard is just a spreadsheet that gets updated every Monday morning. If the person who updates it is out, the whole dashboard goes dark for the week.

We’ve all seen AI projects that never get off the ground. The ones that stall before they even begin. That’s exactly where we step in.

Looks like your team wants to add predictive maintenance or demand forecasting. But the data science crew has been stuck for six months because the data isn’t clean or organized enough to get going.

A 6-week engagement that builds the integration and governance layer your supply chain visibility platform needs to produce outputs your operations team will actually act on.

We pull together all your carrier and lane data into one simple view. Doesn’t matter where it’s coming from, we make it easy to see it all at once.

We set up a shipment event pipeline that cuts out duplicates and double-checks the data. It makes sure every event matches up before we take the next step. Simple, solid, and keeps our tracking sharp.

We dig into past transit times to find any odd delays or hiccups. Think of it like setting a baseline from the history, so we know what’s normal, and then flag whatever sticks out.

We create data pipelines that send info in real-time, no more waiting for batch exports. Data flows as it happens, so you get fresh insights right away, no delays, no guesswork.

We create a simple data dictionary and set up governance to keep things manageable as you grow.

Got a supply chain visibility platform but feel like it’s not working? Nope, it’s not too late. We’ve helped teams turn these systems around all the time. Let’s figure out what’s missing and make it actually useful.

Nah, we usually step in once the system’s already running. Our thing is fixing the data layer so the platform finally delivers the results it was supposed to from day one.

So, are we actually thinking about ditching our ERP or WMS? Let’s unpack that before jumping in.

Nope. We’re not here to swap out your systems. Instead, we add a layer that grabs data from all of them and makes it easy to understand.

Here’s how we run our Supply Chain Visibility Data Foundation project. It takes about 6 weeks from start to finish. We start with a 2-week deep dive into your data to really understand what’s going on. Next, we spend 3 weeks building the actual solution. The final week is all about testing everything and handing it over to you, ready to go.

Still on the fence about which platform to pick? We’ve been there. It’s not a simple choice. Let’s hash it out together.

Frankly, the sooner we jump in, the better. We kick things off with a quick data readiness check to see what integration work is actually needed before any platform can do its thing. Doing this upfront usually saves you 3 to 6 months of scrambling to fix issues after launch.

Data Foundation Sprint is where we jump in and get your data sorted, fast. We dig into the chaos, clean it up, and set a solid base so everything else just works. It’s like laying the tracks before the train takes off. Usually takes a few weeks, but it saves you months of headaches later.

Let me break down how we get your data right and make everything talk smoothly.

Alright, here’s how we do the Analytics Truth Audit. We jump into your data, sift through the noise, and figure out what it’s really showing. We spot the gaps, highlight where the numbers don’t line up, and keep it simple. Think of it like a check-up for your manufacturing and logistics data, so you’re not just guessing, but actually making moves based on solid facts.

First, we jump right into your current analytics setup. We dig in to figure out what’s actually working and what’s just taking up space.

Logistics means moving stuff without messing around. We get into the details of how things actually travel from one spot to another. Using data from real shipments, warehouses, and delivery times, we dig out where delays pop up, which routes kill it, and how to cut costs. Bottom line: we help make logistics faster, smoother, and cheaper. That’s it.

Here’s how we work with logistics and supply chain teams to keep things running without a hitch.

Supply Chain Visibility Starter We help you see what’s really going on in your supply chain. No more guessing or waiting on updates. We dig into your data, pinpoint where things get stuck, and show you the full picture, from raw materials to finished goods. It’s about making your supply chain clearer and easier to manage, so you can fix problems before they snowball.

We’ll spend about 8 weeks with you, connecting your ERP, WMS, and carrier feeds into a single, clean data layer. No more wrestling with spreadsheets. Instead, you get a real-time dashboard that shows exactly what’s going on across your operations, right now.
