Find out how you can use Silico to generate foresight for better planning under uncertainty
Globalisation has driven a dramatic increase in the complexity of supply chains. Recent improvements in understanding big data sets has seen rapid growth in Supply Chain Analytics, as businesses have sought to deeply understand the relationship between supply, demand, and operations.
In many marketplaces the challenge for large businesses is to model what happens when there are changes to their supply chains, for example if a geo-political event is likely to make changes that have no historical precedent. Understanding how to deal with these changes and trying out different strategies can be challenging.
The answer is Silico and our framework for testing supply chain sensitivities. With the Silico software you can rapidly build dynamic models of your entire supply chain. Our graphical interface ensures that your model can reflect the real structures present within the physical world, creating a ‘digital twin’ that can be used to test alternative scenarios.

Silico lets you run millions of scenarios in the blink of a eye
Advanced AI crunches through scenarios to plan optimally and deliver ROI to the business.
Understanding the dependencies in a supply chain is not easy. It is too complex to easily understand in a spreadsheet and is too dynamic to spend the time coding into a data science notebook. With Silico, our powerful no code easy to understand interface, enables senior decision makers to fully understand any relationships or assumptions that their business analysts have made, enabling your business to have visibility into vulnerabilities that are not readily apparent using traditional analytics tools.
Taking the Silico approach allows you to use the data you already have to answer a range of questions including:
Using the type of advanced analytics that Silico provides is a simple way of enhancing all your current tools. You can think of Silico as a sandbox that you can use to link together different supply chain strategies and analyse supply chain risks. If you are the type of organisation that already has a range of supply chain analytics, then Silico can reach across the silos and bring those analytics together.
