SyncAlert software instantly notifies manufacturers of disruptions in production, greatly reducing downtime. The software can connect to any data source to receive event signals from any part of the manufacturing facility and across multi-site environments. When an alert ticket comes in, SyncAlert software sends an email or text message to identified responders, such as quality and maintenance engineers, and begins tracking response time. Issues are then escalated up through the notification chain, as necessary.

The closest any manufacturer can get to the magic bullet of efficiency (collaboration) is through greater supply chain visibility. According to Synchrono, the leader in demand-driven manufacturing software, supply chain visibility means all partners get access to – and share data - in real-time. Visibility to all orders allows suppliers to proactively respond to demand signals. Poor visibility often results in parts shortages and expenses associated with unplanned downtime and expedited shipping methods to get the part back on the shop floor quickly. A real-time view of parts on hand allows a supply chain manager to take action before there is a stock out, eliminating frustration and added costs.
