ALOM BI data is aggregated and continuously measured over time to track the achievement of key customer performance indicator (KPI) results. Using the latest machine learning technology, ALOM BI aggregates vast amounts of customer supply chain data from multiple ALOM data sources such as inventory levels, orders received, orders shipped, shipments delivered, and returns received.
