Delivery Intelligence Platform

On-time delivery. Guaranteed.

Stop paying the "Late Order Tax." PatternLab uses live machine reality to synchronize your production rhythm and eliminate Working Capital Drag.

Adaptive Planning: Live

There's the schedule in your ERP.
And the real one on somebody's whiteboard.

ERP Schedule
Order #1042 Ships Mon
Order #1043 Ships Tue
Order #1044 Ships Wed

All on track

What's actually happening
Order #1042 Ships Wed +2d
Order #1043 Waiting on material
Order #1044 Ships Fri +2d

3 of 3 at risk

The gap between these two schedules is where every late delivery is born.

What if your planning system showed the real schedule before you promised the customer?

From sensor to commitment in 4 steps

PatternLab builds a live digital twin of your factory's real capacity, then uses it to drive every decision.

01

Capture

Plug-and-play sensors attach to your machines and measure real behavior: cycle times, idle patterns, changeover durations. All without disrupting production.

02

Learn

Our Capacity Engine converts raw machine data into actual, usable capacity, not the theoretical numbers your ERP assumes.

03

Map

Every order is mapped against real capacity with material checks, routing constraints, and multi-strategy scheduling to find the best plan.

04

Adapt

Plans continuously adapt to live changes: rush orders, machine breakdowns, material delays. Intelligent ripple analysis showing full impact.

From raw signal to delivered promise.

Three stages. One frame. This is how PatternLab turns machine behavior into capital you can use.

Product

The Pulse

PatternClip sensors capture raw machine signatures: cycle times, idle gaps, changeover patterns. Without touching your ERP.

Process

The Brain

Adaptive AI generates a schedule that accounts for real-world machine health, material constraints, and actual routing, not ERP theory.

6 strategies finite capacity scheduling
Outcome

The Payoff

Orders ship on time. DSO drops. Working capital trapped in WIP and AR is liberated back into your business.

94–97% on-time delivery

Built for how factories actually work

Every feature is designed around real manufacturing workflows, not academic models.

Constraint-Based Scheduling

Multi-step routing with machine eligibility, changeover matrices, and transit times between process stages.

MPS Gating Workflow

Jobs pass through material and capacity checks before entering the Master Production Schedule. No more blind commitments.

Rush Order Analysis

Before confirming a rush, see exactly which orders get displaced, which go late, and by how much. Full ripple visibility.

Interactive Gantt Chart

Custom SVG-based schedule visualization with drag-and-drop rescheduling and real-time ripple cascade.

Material Intelligence

Real-time RM position tracking, shortage detection, supplier options, and AI-assisted procurement planning.

Multi-Tenant & Configurable

Feature flags, per-client configuration, and industry-agnostic setup. Works for packaging, pharma, food, automotive, and any discrete or process manufacturer.

Built for manufacturing. Any manufacturing.

Flexible Packaging

Printing, laminating, slitting, pouch-making with multi-step routing with changeover optimization.

Pharma & Life Sciences

Batch scheduling with regulatory compliance, material traceability, and equipment qualification constraints.

Food & Beverage

Continuous and batch processing with shelf-life constraints, allergen changeovers, and seasonal demand.

Automotive & Metal

Complex BOM structures, multi-level assembly scheduling, and just-in-time delivery requirements.

Walk through the math. See what on-time delivery unlocks.

A five-step series. Each step explains where the number comes from,so the total at the end is one you can defend.

Step 1 of 5 · Scale

What's the pool we're working with?

We size everything as a fraction of your annual revenue. A manufacturer missing 20% of deliveries is losing real money. We just need to know how much.

/ yr
Revenue pool $50M/yr
Step 2 of 5 · Reality

How much of that is flowing through late?

Be honest. Most ERPs mark orders "on time" when they ship, not when they arrive at the customer's dock. If your internal dashboard says 92%, the number your customer actually sees is usually 8–12 points lower. Drag the slider to the on-time rate your customer would recognize.

78%
Typical range for mid-market manufacturers: 75–85%
Revenue flowing late $11M/yr
Step 3 of 5 · Where it bleeds

Where does that late revenue actually hurt you?

Late orders cost you three ways. Here's the math behind each, built from PatternLab pilot data and public ops-research benchmarks. No black box.

1

Working capital drag

Late orders sit in WIP and AR ~21 days longer than on-time ones. That's cash locked up instead of deployable.

$11M × (21 / 365) = $633K
2

Expediting tax

Air freight, overtime, rush material at premium prices. Recovery averages ~3% of the late revenue.

$11M × 3% = $330K
3

Churn exposure

Chronically-late customers quietly shift share to competitors. ~5% of late revenue is at annual churn risk.

$11M × 5% = $550K
Today's annual cost of late $1.51M/yr
Step 4 of 5 · Target

Where could PatternLab get you?

PatternLab customers average 94–97% on-time after activation because schedules are built on real machine behavior, not ERP assumptions. Pick a realistic target and we'll show you what it claws back.
