Typical Challenges StrataFlows Addresses
Frequent production outages due to material flow or other avoidable issues that cost thousands per minute.
StrataFlows eliminates production outages due to material flow and other sources of disruption that can cost $1,000s per minute while improving visibility and morale for those involved in the supply chain.
Limited visibility for managers/planners around potential shortages on the production line.
StrataFlows eliminates production outages due to material flow Mobile notifications and access from StrataFlows on iOS and Android provides real time visibility.
When working to avoid imminent impact or recover from an outage, communication, visibility, and coordination is critical.
StrataFlows’ workflow engine automates communication, visibility, and coordination.
Without a repeatable process in a modern automation tool, information that can enable root cause analysis (RCA) and continuous improvement (CI) is lacking.
StrataFlows provides repeatable processes that ease RCA and CI.
Current on premise tools do not facilitate communication and coordination across company boundaries.
From the cloud, StrataFlows facilitiates cross-location/organization communication.
Uncoordinated response and chaos result from unclear ownership of steps in the process; as a result, morale suffers.
StrataFlows’ processes ensure clear ownership and coordinated responses, helping keep morale up.
Existing supply chain solutions do not focus on how to handle cases where systems or processes have gaps or break down.
StrataFlows is all about handling the cases where existing processes or solutions breakdown or bridging process gaps.
Often ad hoc processes or antiquated tools are used to respond to potential outages. Phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets.
StrataFlows provides automated, repeatable processes.

Avoid disruptions due to part shortages by automating parts in the supply chain.
Automates the full process of expediting parts from a supplier–from submission, supplier communication, through delivery–providing visibility throughout.
Analyze the cause of missing parts with the Material Availability at Point of Use module.
Automates machine downtime tracking and defines the reason for each stop in your production.
Useful for cycle counts or one-off sampling of inventory in the warehouse or plant floor.
Automatically track issues impairing material flow to ensure resolution.
