Decklar pioneers Real-Time Decisions AI with Unified Visibility, reshaping the supply chains of Global 2000s to be transparent, automated, and sustainable. Within weeks, these enterprises transform key processes like replenishment, goods receipt, revenue forecasting, quality release, security, and asset management into dynamic, risk-informed operations. Despite over $25B spent globally on planning, TMS, and visibility tools, supply chains still stall: 60% of shipments arrive late, disrupting inventory plans; 17% face quality issues; and 76% of reusable assets go underutilized. Planning/TMS tools remain Systems of Record, relying on static or manual data. Visibility tools lack business context. Decklar closes this gap. Built on 10+ years self-enriching supply chain visibility data, the Decklar’s AI-native platform fuses real-time shipment and asset signals with Decision Intelligence — delivering precise execution and planning recommendations for Supply Chain, Logistics, Quality, Security, Operations, and Finance — functioning as a System of Action. Decklar’s Real-Time Decisions AI now powers over 90% of global MRO flows, 42% of U.S. pharmaceutical shipments, and about a quarter of global CPG shipments — measurably boosting top and bottom lines.
