SUPPLYMAVENHow SupplyMaven Creates Value
Collect. Analyze. Notify.
The product is not the dashboard.
The product is the alert that arrives before the disruption hits.
SupplyMaven operates in three layers. Each builds on the one before it. Together, they form a continuous early-warning system that detects supply chain disruptions before they impact your operations and delivers that intelligence directly to the people who can act on it.
Monitors 7+ data sources 24/7 across ports, grids, borders, commodities, and weather
No operator can watch all of this. No AI agent will build pipelines to replicate it.
Scores, normalizes, and synthesizes raw data into the GDI, SMI, and AI intelligence briefs
Proprietary methodology that cannot be replicated without the same domain insights.
Delivers SMS alerts, weekly digests, and on-demand AI answers to the right person
Where the financial value is created. The text message is where the decision starts.
COLLECT
Continuous Monitoring Across 7+ Data Sources
No individual operator can watch all of this. No LLM agent will build automated pipelines to do it. SupplyMaven runs 24/7 without anyone logging in.
The collection layer eliminates the manual work of monitoring fragmented data sources. Every data point is timestamped, stored, and available for baseline comparison. This is the foundation everything else builds on.
ANALYZE
Proprietary Scoring That Turns Data Into Decisions
Raw data is available to anyone. The methodology that converts it into actionable risk intelligence is not. This is where SupplyMaven's defensible value lives.
Global Disruption Index (GDI)
Composite 0–100 risk score synthesizing four pillar indexes — Transportation, Energy, Materials, and Macro — plus AI-analyzed news signal boosting. Each pillar uses z-score normalization against calibrated historical baselines. One number tells you the state of global supply chain risk. Pillar drill-downs tell you why.
SupplyMaven Manufacturing Index (SMI)
PATENT-PENDINGWeather-adjusted electricity demand analysis across 8 US power grid regions. Strips heating and cooling noise from electricity consumption to isolate the industrial signal, detecting manufacturing output changes within hours of onset — weeks before government reports like ISM PMI (monthly, first business day) and Fed industrial production (monthly, mid-month). There is no daily government manufacturing output report. The SMI is the only near-real-time manufacturing signal available.
AI Intelligence Briefs
AI-generated natural language analysis of what is changing across each pillar and what it means operationally. Briefs are generated from live data, cached for performance, and updated as conditions evolve. Index movements translated into plain-English context any supply chain professional can act on.
Five-Level Risk Classification
Every score maps to LOW, ELEVATED, MODERATE, HIGH, or CRITICAL, providing a consistent escalation language. Teams map their own response protocols to each level, creating a standardized playbook triggered by objective thresholds rather than subjective judgment.
Personalized Risk Index
Configured during onboarding, the exposure profile filters global disruption signals through your commodities, regions, and transportation modes. Eliminates alert fatigue by ensuring only disruptions that would actually affect your operations surface to your attention.
The analysis layer is what separates SupplyMaven from raw data access. Calibrated baselines take months to build. The SMI methodology is patent-pending. The composite scoring synthesizes signals no single data source provides. This cannot be replicated by pointing an AI agent at public APIs.
NOTIFY
The Right Alert to the Right Person at the Right Time
A dashboard you have to check is surveillance. An alert that reaches you before a disruption hits is intelligence. This is where the financial value is created.
SMS Alerts via AI Advisor
Tell the AI Advisor what you care about in plain English: “Notify me if port congestion at Long Beach crosses ELEVATED.” The system creates the alert, monitors continuously, and sends a text when the threshold is crossed. 60-minute cooldown prevents duplicates. No configuration menus. No setup complexity.
Weekly Intelligence Digest
Every Monday, subscribers receive an AI-generated email briefing covering GDI movements, pillar-level changes, port conditions, energy market shifts, and border status. Context for the week ahead without logging in. Leaders stay informed. Teams stay aligned.
AI Advisor (On-Demand)
The built-in AI Advisor interprets live SupplyMaven data and answers natural language questions about current conditions, regional risk, commodity trends, and historical comparisons. Contextual intelligence immediately, regardless of analytical skill level.
Where the Money Is
Three scenarios where SupplyMaven's three layers convert directly into financial value. Each one has been experienced by every supply chain professional reading this.
Port congestion builds at a destination port. A shipment is on the water. The delivery window is closing. The logistics manager finds out late, panics, and books an air freight expedite at 5–10x the ocean rate. Half the time, congestion clears two days later and the expedite was unnecessary.
The manager received a text alert 3–5 days earlier showing congestion building. They made a calm decision — reroute, wait, or expedite with full information.
A manufacturer depends on materials from a supplier in the PJM or ERCOT region. ISM or Fed industrial production data won’t reflect a manufacturing output decline for 2–6 weeks. The production planner has no early warning.
The SMI detects declining manufacturing output in that grid region within hours of onset. The production planner gets a window to call the supplier, confirm status, pull forward from an alternate source, or reschedule production lines before the gap arrives.
Electricity consumption across ERCOT drops in a pattern weather cannot explain. ISM is monthly, Fed G.17 is monthly with a mid-month lag. No one on a trading desk knows yet.
A commodity trader positioned in energy, metals, or industrial inputs sees that signal weeks early and can adjust positions before the market reprices.
The notification layer is where monitoring and analysis convert into dollars saved or earned. The dashboard is where you do analysis. The text message is where the decision starts.
