How it works
From operational signal to approved action.
Coswana sits above your existing systems. It reads what they already record, understands how those records relate, and turns that understanding into decisions your team can approve.
The operational graph
Context is what makes a recommendation trustworthy. Coswana maintains the relationships that let one supplier email become a specific, quantified production risk.

Traversal
A supplier ETA change on PO-2418 moves through material coverage, formula requirement, and production schedule to reach a customer commitment on Sep 8.
Eight stages, in plain terms
Stage 01
Connect systems
Coswana is designed to read from ERP, email, inventory, procurement, quality, compliance, supplier, and accounting systems without becoming the place your team has to work in.
Stage 02
Detect changes
Supplier ETA changes, inventory thresholds, QC releases, formula revisions, certificate expirations, and invoice mismatches are picked up as they happen.
Stage 03
Build operational context
Each signal is placed into a graph of suppliers, purchase orders, materials, formulas, production orders, customers, and compliance obligations.
Stage 04
Calculate impact
Deterministic calculations produce shortfall quantities, stockout dates, production risk, shipment exposure, and cost movement.
Stage 05
Recommend action
Coswana proposes the next best action with the reasoning and tradeoffs made explicit, along with the records it relied on.
Stage 06
Human approval
Consequential actions route to the right approver under your policies. Nothing meaningful happens silently.
Stage 07
Execute or prepare workflow
Once approved, Coswana prepares or executes the workflow, whether that is a sourcing request, an escalation, or a documentation request.
Stage 08
Monitor result
Coswana keeps watching the outcome and reopens the exception if the situation changes again.
What a resolved exception looks like

Stop finding problems after they become urgent.
Give your operations team a system that connects the signals, understands the impact, and helps decide what to do next.
