Accio's real-time data system contains three key modules:
- Dynamic Pricing Monitoring: Synchronize the price changes of mainstream suppliers every 15 minutes, especially for commodity raw materials (e.g. steel, fabrics) to provide price trend forecast charts.
- Inventory Visualization: Directly connected to the supplier's ERP system, displaying real-time inventory status accurate to the SKU level, avoiding the risk of out-of-stock after placing an order.
- Industry Opinion Analysis: Capture social media and news feeds to provide timely warning of negative supplier events (e.g., factory fires, trade sanctions, etc.)
The data is visualized in the cockpit dashboard: purchasing managers can see the "Hot Products List" to understand current trends, and the "Supply Chain Risk Map" to help avoid suppliers in highly controversial areas. However, the platform still recommends offline factory inspections for orders over a million dollars, and the data is for reference only.
