Just-In-Time Data (JITD) refers to the availability of real-time, accurate data across the supply chain, allowing inventory decisions to be made promptly and proactively. The concept extends the principles of JIT inventory to data flows, ensuring that every stakeholder has the right information at the right time. For example, JITD supports demand sensing, real-time stock level monitoring, and supplier communication. In traditional systems, data lags lead to outdated decisions, stockouts, or overstocking. JITD ensures agility by connecting systems via APIs, IoT devices, and cloud-based platforms that provide live inventory updates. Inventory optimization powered by JITD allows platforms like Pull Logic to dynamically adjust reorder points, safety stocks, and replenishment cycles in real-time. JITD is foundational for AI-driven decision-making and responsive supply chains, reducing latency and enhancing resilience.
