  1. The signal

    A shipment of a critical clinical consumable is held at customs for a missing import document, with two weeks of stock on hand.

  2. The decision

    Broker files the missing document and releases the shipment.

    Approved · Supply chain manager
  3. The outcome

    The shipment cleared before stock ran out. The document requirement is now stored against the supplier and the item.

Systems commonly involved

Systems of record remain yours. Navisight reads from them, writes back only what you approve, and never replaces them.

Decisions and actions

What the Brain does, and what stays with your people.

Detects, explains, recommends and coordinates
  • Detects a critical consumable heading for stock-out across sites
  • Explains the document, supplier and shipment behind a hold
  • Recommends release, transfer or emergency purchase with the clinical and cost impact of each
  • Coordinates brokers, suppliers, stores and wards once approved
Requires human approval
  • Substituting an alternative product or brand
  • Emergency purchases outside contract
  • Transfers that leave another site short
  • Any change to a regulated product's handling
KPIs the Brain tracks
  • Critical item availability
  • Customs and document holds
  • Expired and obsolete stock
  • Contract compliance
  • Emergency purchase spend
Human control and regulatory boundaries

Every recommendation shows its source, its confidence and who decides.

  • Clinical decisions, product substitutions and recalls are made by clinicians and quality teams. The Brain surfaces the options and the evidence.
  • Regulatory records stay in their systems of record; the Brain reads them and never alters them.
  • Every material recommendation is presented with its evidence, its timestamp, its confidence, the alternatives considered and the decision owner. Nothing here is executed without that owner.
