Vector, the AI Supply Chain Planner
Vector sits on top of ERP systems, spreadsheets, supplier data, and planning tools to turn materials records into a ranked queue of shortages, risks, and recommended actions.
Field notes
Vector describes a pilot-first workflow rather than a system replacement: a team sends exports containing purchase orders, inventory, demand, suppliers, and bills of materials, then reviews a ranked queue of exceptions. The sample command center uses a 21-day horizon and shows 8,421 parts, 17 critical shortages, 31 supplier risks, and 46 recommended purchase-order actions. The page also presents natural-language questions as an interface for investigating coverage, suppliers, and overbuying.
