Supply chain digital twin: from hub sorters to proof of delivery
A supply chain digital twin follows goods from hub to doorstep, and lets you test disruptions before they reach customers.
ALLINLET team
The challenge
Logistics data sits in many systems: sorters, warehouse management, carriers, telematics and customer portals. Without a joined-up view, planners react to problems instead of anticipating them.
The data sources
- Hub sorters and scanners: parcel volumes and throughput.
- Warehouse and order management: stock, orders and dispatch.
- Carrier and partner EDI: handovers and status updates.
- GS1 EPCIS events: where each item was, when and why.
- Fleet telematics and proof of delivery: the last mile.
How it works with ALLINLET
- Connect every system in the chain.
- Build a twin that follows each flow from sorter to doorstep.
- Simulate disruptions such as a delayed linehaul or a closed hub.
- Re-plan capacity and routes before customers are affected.
What changes
- End-to-end visibility of parcels and capacity.
- Earlier warning of bottlenecks.
- Tested plans for peak seasons and disruptions.
- Fewer late deliveries.
Getting started
Start with one hub and its outbound routes, then add partners and upstream suppliers.
