The working capital tied up in raw-material inventory
Some of your inventory is real demand cover. The rest is buffer you hold because supplier arrival dates cannot be trusted. Holocene reconstructs the real dates from the emails you already get, so you can safely hold less and release the cash, proven against what actually landed. No supplier onboarding.
Inventory clarity that delivers results.
Holocene cuts through uncertainty, helping you act sooner, hold less, and prevent shortages — all without forcing your suppliers onto a platform.
The fastest way to fix what slows you down.
Most teams manage raw material inventory by reacting late or overstocking early. Holocene replaces guesswork with real-time signals and smart guidance — so action happens before issues grow.
The real problem.
Most inventory planning is reactive. Teams fall back on buffers and rush orders to stay afloat — but that safety net drives cost, delay, and constant catch-up.
- Safety stock is misused as a substitute for real visibility
- Data is delayed, partial, or decoupled from execution
- Demand shifts aren’t reflected upstream in time
- Teams operate blind when inventory hits a tipping point
How do we solve it?
EPOCH senses mismatches early and recommends fixes fast — linking plans to reality without waiting on clean data or perfect sync.
- Fix misaligned demand and supply early
- Reduce buffer dependence without increasing risk
- Link planning to execution with real-time adjustments
- Keep teams aligned as plans shift downstream
Raw material issues spread fast.

Without EPOCH
- Missed or late supplier updates
- Bad data or unconfirmed POs
- Inventory misaligned with demand
Alternative solution
- Tracks shipments, not material readiness
- Needs clean data and full integration
- Misses demand-based supply mismatches
With EPOCH
- Agents detect delays via signals
- Logic validates and heals inputs
- System syncs flow to actual need

How to Release the Working Capital Trapped in Your Inbound Supply Chain
The buffer you hold against unreliable arrival dates is working capital you are financing. Reconstruct real arrival dates from the supplier emails you already receive, hold less safely, and release the cash. Operational, not financing.
Visibility That Thinks
Today we are launching Meridian, the Working Capital Advisor inside Epoch. It is the first supply chain intelligence that not only shows where goods are, but understands what they are worth, recommends what to do next and backs every recommendation with traceable mathematics.
Your Buyer Is Already Living the Case Study
A planner opens their inbox to 73 exception alerts. Three suppliers shifted delivery dates overnight. Two shipments show delivered but never arrived.
Closing the Gap from Supply Chain Awareness to Decisive Action
Over the past decade, the industry invested heavily in tools that promised transparency across complex, multi-tier networks. Those investments paid off.
