What is Supply Chain monitoring and alerting?

Supply chain monitoring and alerting uses a control tower to aggregate data, provide real-time visibility, and send actionable alerts across procurement, manufacturing, transportation, and fulfillment. Control tower software integrates information from multiple systems and gives users up to date views of inventory, shipments, and orders. It tracks shipments in real-time and triggers alerts if routes deviate, inventory drops below thresholds, or production issues occur. Advanced analytics, dashboards, and collaboration tools help teams diagnose issues and coordinate responses. Effective monitoring depends on integrated data, clear escalation rules, and the ability to prioritize alerts to avoid overload.
