Supply Chain Analytics
A complex world, with follow-the-sun supply chains, hyper-connected partners and expectation of an exceptionally responsive service has pushed organizations to redefine how they run and measure their Supply Chains. With top line growth plateauing, there is more scope for organizations to increase profitability by optimizing their Supply Chains and Analytics is fast emerging as a key enabler to do so. The use of business analytics in Supply Chain processes has become more prevalent over the years. Organizations want to get insights into their Supply Chains and make data-driven decisions, instead of working on best-guess operations.
How Locus IT Helps
Locus IT’s Supply Chain Analytics offering helps organizations optimize their Supply Chains to:
- Monitor and predict vendor risk and performance: With an increased reliance on vendors for success, manufacturers are using internal and external data to continuously measure vendor performance
- Optimize logistics and route operations: Consumer electronics manufacturers want to minimize inventory levels and push availability across a large swathe of markets
- Sense demand patterns: Retailers are using analytical models to ensure that problems like stock-outs and overstocking are avoided
- Match supply chain capabilities: Pharmaceutical & Medical Device manufacturers are using segmentation to match capabilities with the requirements of different products, markets and customers.
Our Supply Chain Analytics offerings have enabled global organizations to utilize business analytics to glean information from ever-growing collections of data.
From a Supply Chain perspective, here is how we help:
- Vendor Performance & Risk Assessment: As Supply Chains become more complex, the dependency on external suppliers/vendors becomes extremely critical. Moreover, there are several other external factors and sources of information that can affect the future performance of vendors. We offer a risk model based on external data and ongoing performance to efficiently evaluate and monitor vendor performance to mitigate future risk
- Demand Forecasting: With customers expecting immediate responses irrespective of location or time, you need to meet these needs rapidly, and cost effectively. We use predictive algorithms to better forecast demand based on various internal/external factors and ensure that your Supply Chain is well oiled to cater to these dynamic needs
- Spend Analytics: We leverage machine data analytics to help identify anomalies in direct/indirect spend. This solution uses analytical models on spend data to find anomalies that indicate potential savings, such as contract non-compliance, rate mismatches, duplicate invoices, and incorrect demand specifications
- Inventory Optimization: Our solution aids the monitoring of key indicators like stock churn, inventory costs and obsolescence across the supply chain, which is critical to optimize inventory levels while meeting customer demands and service levels
- Logistics & Routing Analytics: We help you optimize routing of both the components and finished goods across various nodal points in a global supply chain, which has a dependency on vendors and partners across the globe. Our customers in the transportation industry are specifically using analytical models to optimize vehicle/airline allocations across various sectors and routes
Cohort Analytics
Cohort analysis is a broad topic, and it has many variations. Let’s first give some basic definitions:
- Cohort – this is a group of people or events who share a common characteristic over time
- Cohort analysis – this is the study of activity / behavior of a particular cohort or a group of them over time (or other iteration).
In metacode, a cohort analysis is similar to this: ‘take a dataset which has uniquely identified entity (customer in this case), define unique cohorts by which the items can be grouped (in this case we will use the year and month of first purchase), and follow the behavior of the cohorts over time (in this case the sum of the OrderValue for each cohort per timeslice)’.
It may seem a bit complex at first sight: However it is straightforward in practice. In this case we are asking the questions: It may seem a bit complex at first sight: However it is straightforward in practice. In this case we are asking the questions:
- ‘How do our users behave as they get further away from their first purchase date?’
- ‘Do they keep buying equally a lot as they did in the first month of their activity, or do they phase out as time passes?’
- ‘Is there a pattern when we compare the first purchase months of different cohorts?’

Behavioral Analytics
To establish the foundation of customer knowledge
Figuring out how customers think starts with knowing – with great confidence and accuracy – what they’ve done, and that’s the typical starting point for behavioral analytics. Clarity in customer profiling is a requirement for the basic transactional insight about who bought what, when and through which channels. It’s also essential to gaining an accurate understanding of which products and customer types are most profitable. And knowing why customers act as they do, which requires the correlating of multiple factors, and is of course the next step along the value curve.
Better understand customer interactions and dynamics
But behavioral analytics can be more than just tracking people. It’s also about understanding the interactions and dynamics between processes, machines and equipment, even macroeconomic trends, which may yield new learning into operational risks and opportunities. When combined with rich insights about consumer behavior, companies gain a more nuanced, detailed and accurate picture of where markets are headed. And that gives them a huge advantage in directing to proactive investments to seize the best opportunities.
The largest of those opportunities maybe market-facing or customer-centric, but supply chain improvements or other operational enhancements first discovered by behavioral analytics may also lead to worthwhile performance gains.
Behavioral Analytics in Action
- Financial services organizations leverage behavioral analytics to identify suspicious and anomalous behavioral patterns as a means to strengthen anti-fraud capabilities; they also link demographic data and traffic patterns to customer profiles to figure out where to locate branches and ATMs
- Retailers closely track customer pathing across channels – when, where, how frequently and for which transaction types do customers use various channels (including bricks-and-mortars stores); how they respond to email campaigns, mobile couponing or even television ads
- Communications providers enrich customer information with external sources and network usage patterns to gain better views of subscriber behavior.
- eCommerce players specifically test scenarios and track every click to understand why customers abandon shopping carts or otherwise leave “the funnel” before completing check out.
