Scandiweb releases new version of OperaLayer to help retailers respond faster to supply chain disruptions
Scandiweb, an e-commerce and enterprise systems specialist, has announced the availability of a new version of OperaLayer - an operational layer framework that comes with the Stock and Shipment Control Cockpit and Exception Allocation app extending the framework directly into disruption response workflows, designed to help retailers, suppliers, and distributors respond to supply chain disruptions in real-time.
OperaLayer creates a fast, configurable layer above or between existing ERP, WMS and TMS platforms, consolidating data from those systems without replacing them. Both applications are delivered as working MVPs within 72 hours.
Scandiweb delivers OperaLayer within a controlled framework covering information security, cloud security and quality management. Any customer data made available to external AI services is explicitly defined and confirmed with each customer prior to deployment. In the disruption scenarios described above, no external AI data transfer was required.
The solution has been deployed by a number of retailers, including Puma, Läderach, Sports Group Denmark, Byggmax, Jollyes, and Macron.
The Stock and Shipment Control Cockpit has been deployed for a furniture, home and textile supplier whose legacy ERP system could not clearly distinguish between delayed, rerouted, blocked, or duplicated shipments. Sales teams were quoting outdated arrival dates, and planners were generating duplicate replenishment orders against stalled purchase orders. The cockpit consolidated open POs, warehouse stock, shipment updates, sales allocations and planner notes into a single operating view, with stock classified by status: available, allocated, at risk, or blocked for review.
The Exception Allocation app, meanwhile, was built for a distributor managing grocery, pharmaceutical and B2B supply lines. Its planning system was still running on unreliable standard lead time tables, with short-life products and critical stock tracked across ad-hoc spreadsheets. The app consolidated ERP orders, distribution centre stock, shipment delay signals, expiry data and forecast inputs into a ranked exception queue for human planners to review and approve.
