Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG)

o9 EKG for
Industrial Parts Distributors

The o9 Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG) provides industrial distributors with end-to-end visibility, multi-tier supply chain optimization, and real-time scenario planning.

By integrating demand, supply, and inventory workflows, o9 enables faster, data-driven decisions, reducing lead times, improving availability, and optimizing costs.

Key Capabilities

Why Industrial Parts Distributors
choose o9

  • Driver-Based Demand Forecasting

    Move beyond historical data with ML models that learn from external drivers like macro and industrial trends, commodity prices, and promotions. Increase accuracy at the SKU-location-customer level to ensure mission-critical parts are available without ballooning excess stock.

  • Multi-Echelon Inventory & Service Level Optimization

    Balance high service-level commitments against working capital by optimizing inventory across your entire hub-and spoke network and long-tail SKU proliferation. o9's MEIO engine automatically sets time-phased safety stock targets based on lead-time variability and customer priority, protecting against stockouts on high-velocity items.

  • Constraint-Aware Replenishment & Supply Planning

    Replace reactive "firefighting" with an end-to-end Digital Twin of your supply chain. Model real-world capacity-from supplier lead-time variability and warehouse labor to specialized transportation modes -to generate fully executable replenishment and stock-movement plans.

  • Automated Buying Recommendations

    Transform complex procurement data into quick actions with AI-assisted scenario modeling. Compare the cost-to-serve and margin impact of different sourcing strategies-such as local vs. global or expedite vs. wait-side-by-side to choose the most profitable path forward.

  • Logistics & Load Optimization

    Maximize freight efficiency with a specialized solver that balances weight, volume, and complex industrial shipping rules. Automatically consolidate inter-branch transfers and supplier inbound shipments to increase truckload utilization and reduce premium freight costs.

  • Integrated Customer & Supplier Collaboration

    Connect directly with key accounts and Tier-1 to Tier N suppliers on a single planning platform. Align forecasts with customer project schedules and gain real-time visibility into supplier capacity to proactively mitigate disruptions and maintain superior service reliability.
