The reality
Your supplier is producing. You're still missing material.
An industrial fire near a major transport route in northern Italy doesn't affect your supplier at first. But roads get closed, shipments get rerouted, and planned connections are missed. The goods are produced – but they don't reach your business in time.
That connection is often not obvious.
How SignalChain works
SignalChain doesn't look for more reports. It looks for the connection between them.
Reports say what happened. SignalChain shows what it could turn into.

An example
A fire. A closed road. A delivery problem.
An industrial fire near a major transport route closes roads and forces detours. Shipments are delayed, planned connections missed. Your supplier keeps producing – but the goods don't reach your business in time.
The fire doesn't hit your supplier.
His delivery route does.

Insight of the day
Two of three alternative routes are also more heavily loaded.
