Supply chain performance and preparedness.
Connect infrastructure, organisations, supply chains and events in a living model of complex systems. Simulate scenarios, model cascading effects, expose vulnerabilities and let AI prioritise the actions that matter most. From defence and civil preparedness to business resilience and performance.
For companies improving supply chain performance and public authorities, municipalities and regions planning their supply preparedness.
For companies
Improve delivery performance.
Compare suppliers, stock levels and routes against production needs and customer orders. Find where inventory can be reduced and where a delay would hold up the whole operation.
Supply preparedness
Keep essential supplies available.
For municipalities, regions and authorities such as Myndigheten för civilt försvar. Map shared dependencies, test disruptions and compare reserves or alternative suppliers.

Planning tasks
Inventory and delivery performance
Reducing stock without missing orders.
A company wants to free up capital tied up in inventory. Compare stock levels against demand and replenishment times to see where reductions could work and where they would leave a shortfall.
Background and source
Toyota's production system describes coordinating replenishment with demand and keeping the parts needed to fulfil orders available without building up unnecessary stock. Toyota's explanation of its production system.
Current stockProposed stock Supply preparedness
Find the dependencies you share.
Several essential services rely on the same depot or transport link. Map that connection, test an interruption and compare where reserves or another supplier would help.
Background and source
Myndigheten för civilt försvar identifies the ability to prioritise critical flows and needs during shortages as part of Sweden's supply preparedness. Myndigheten för civilt försvar: supply preparedness.
Sites to supplyShared warehouse Continuity planning
See how long reserves will last.
A power cut affects several sites. Compare their reserves and backup capacity against demand to estimate which operations would stop first and where additional supplies are needed.
Background and source
A 2007 study by Krisberedskapsmyndigheten describes how failures in electricity supply can affect water, wastewater and district heating. KBM's study of municipal service dependencies, 2007 (PDF).
Reserve durationFirst to run out Shipment tracing
Trace a machine to its receiving site.
A manufacturer needs to confirm where an exported machine was received. Connect the shipment, recipient and delivery records, then identify the missing documents needed to verify the machine and its destination.
Background and source
The International Trade Administration describes the different information held in packing lists, invoices and transport documents. This example brings those records together and makes gaps in delivery evidence visible. International Trade Administration: common export documents.

How it works
Using Compass
- 01
Map the supply network
Connect suppliers, sites, routes, stock and demand. Combine your records with public data and check the assumptions.
- 02
Test a change
Change stock levels, a supplier or a route. Compare normal operations, then test a delay, outage or delivery stop.
- 03
Compare the options
Review supply coverage and interruptions against your delivery targets or preparedness requirements before changing the plan.
Deployment
Run the software on your own servers.
Compass, Shield and the AI models can run on your organisation's own infrastructure. Your administrators decide who has access, how long records are kept and when the software and models are updated.
