Smart Operations Dashboard

The challenge

A logistics company had operational data spread across 5 disconnected systems — their TMS, warehouse management, fleet tracking, customer portal, and financial reporting. Getting a unified view of operations required manually exporting and combining spreadsheets, a process that took 2 days and was outdated by the time it was complete.

Without real-time visibility, the operations team was constantly making decisions based on stale data. Delivery delays, inventory mismatches, and capacity issues were only discovered after they impacted customers, eroding trust and increasing operational costs.

Our approach

Built real-time data pipelines connecting all 5 source systems into a unified PostgreSQL data layer. Each connector handles different APIs, file formats, and update frequencies with automatic retry and conflict resolution.

Created an operations dashboard in React with role-based views — executives see KPIs and trends, dispatchers see real-time fleet positions, warehouse managers see inventory levels and incoming shipments.

Embedded an AI anomaly detection layer using OpenAI that continuously monitors data streams, flags unusual patterns, and generates natural-language explanations of potential issues before they escalate.
