MONITORING-AUTOMATION COVERAGE GAP

SupplyAlert

Enter how many critical stock, PO, and delivery conditions you monitor manually versus have an automated rule for to see your alert-coverage gap.

  • Uses your inputs in a transparent calculation
  • Instant result with practical next steps
  • No signup required

Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.

How it works

1

Enter your critical conditions and current coverage

Add the total critical conditions worth monitoring (like low stock or a late PO), how many already have an automated rule, how many are checked manually, and missed events last quarter.

2

We calculate your alert-coverage gap

The tool works out what share of critical conditions still lack an automated rule, combined with how often something was actually missed or caught late.

3

Get a coverage-gap score to prioritize automation

The result shows how much of your monitoring should be automated, prioritizing the conditions most linked to past missed events.

Frequently asked questions

Does SupplyAlert actually create or run alert rules for me?

No. SupplyAlert is not a live no-code alert-rule engine. It computes a coverage-gap score only from the figures you enter — it does not build, run, or trigger any real alerts. See how much of your monitoring should be automated before building or buying a rule engine.

What counts as a "critical condition"?

Any stock, purchase-order, or delivery situation where being slow to notice causes real cost — examples include stock falling below a safety threshold, a PO running late with no backup supplier, or a delivery missing its promised window.

Why do missed events last quarter affect the score?

A high gap combined with actual missed events signals real, demonstrated risk rather than theoretical risk — the score weights both so the result reflects urgency, not just coverage percentage.

What if I don't track missed events precisely?

Use your best estimate from memory or incident notes — even an approximate count meaningfully improves the score's usefulness over ignoring this factor entirely.

Should every critical condition eventually be automated?

Not necessarily — some conditions are rare or low-cost enough that a manual check is fine. Use the gap score to prioritize the highest-impact conditions first rather than aiming for 100% automation everywhere.
