Landed cost is an estimate
Freight, duty, handling and inventory carrying cost live in different systems, so true lane profitability is reconstructed after the fact.

Planning, ERP, logistics and supplier data each tell part of the story. SCIKIQ resolves them into one governed Supply Chain 360 — so landed cost, disruption risk and service level are one number, not three estimates.

Today’s brief
Landed cost per lane is 4.6% below plan across the network.
Freight normalised on the Asia–Europe corridor and duty reclassification held. Service level is stable, though one supplier slipped and two lanes are now carrying the risk.
If only one decision is made today, qualifying the alternate supplier on the priority lines is expected to protect the most service.

AI reasoning — why qualify now?
- Primary supplier missed OTIF on two consecutive priority runs
- Alternate already holds qualified stock at the regional node
- Qualification takes four days; the buffer covers six
- 27 comparable qualifications avoided an expedite in 24 cases

02The problem
What the Supply Chain Leader actually deals with
Disruption is discovered late
A supplier slip or port delay shows up when the shortfall hits the plant, not when the signal first appeared.
Supplier risk is anecdotal
Spend, performance and risk data sit in procurement, AP and ERP separately, so supplier decisions rely on relationship memory.
03What changes
One governed view,
and four things follow
01
Resolve SKUs, lanes and nodes
Planning, ERP and logistics resolve into one governed record per SKU, lane and node, so the same shipment is not counted three different ways.
02
Make landed cost one number
Freight, duty, handling and carrying cost roll into one governed definition, making lane profitability comparable across the network.
03
Trace disruption to cause
The knowledge graph connects suppliers, lanes, orders and events, so a copilot can explain what caused a service miss and what it costs.
04
Recover automatically
Agents reallocate inventory across regions and raise urgent purchase orders when service drops below threshold, with every action logged.
04What it runs on
Built on Supply Chain 360
This role runs on Supply Chain 360 — landed cost, disruption risk and service level — assembled over your existing systems with no replatform.
- Supplier 360 — spend, risk and reliability per supplier
- ECU Worldwide study — 2,400 trade routes across 180 countries

Frequently asked questions
Can SCIKIQ handle a global network with many source systems?
Yes. ECU Worldwide, one of the largest less-than-container-load shippers, unified 2,400 trade routes across 180 countries and roughly 40,000 port pairs into a single governed view.
How is landed cost calculated?
Freight, duty, handling and carrying cost are brought under one governed metric definition, so every lane is computed the same way and each component traces back to its source system.
Does this replace our planning system?
No. SCIKIQ reads from planning, ERP and logistics systems where they already run and adds the governed layer on top, so the planning system stays in place.
