CTB & Build Readiness

Know If You Can Build — Before It's Too Late

Build readiness shouldn't be a weekly meeting where someone updates a spreadsheet. Alora continuously connects part availability, supplier risk, and BOM structure to your upcoming builds — so you see shortages, at-risk customers, and revenue exposure in real time, not after the damage is done.

The Challenge

What teams deal with today

BOMs Are Too Deep for Spreadsheets

Multi-level BOMs with hundreds of parts across 5-10 levels make it impossible to manually track which parts block which builds. Spreadsheets break at this complexity.

Shortages Surface Too Late

By the time a shortage is discovered in a weekly review, the build schedule is already compromised. Recovery options shrink with every day of delay.

Revenue Exposure Is Invisible

Teams know a build is at risk but can't quantify how much revenue is on the line. Without revenue context, every at-risk build gets the same priority.

Customer Impact Is Disconnected

A part shortage affects multiple builds and customers, but this cascading impact is invisible in traditional ERP views. Teams don't see the full blast radius until it's too late.

How Alora Solves This

Built for this exact problem

BOM-Level Visibility

Connect part availability and risk directly to upcoming builds and projects.

Shortage Detection

Highlight shortages and bottlenecks at the BOM level before they block production.

Customer Impact View

See which orders and customers are at risk if nothing changes.

Revenue Exposure

Quantify revenue at risk before it becomes a crisis — act while you still can.

How It Works

From data to action

1

Map Your BOMs

Alora ingests your full BOM structure — every level, every part, every relationship. Multi-level BOMs with hundreds of components are handled automatically.

2

Connect to Supply Risk

Part availability and supplier risk data flow into each BOM node. When a PO line slips or a supplier scores poorly, the affected BOMs update immediately.

3

Assess Build Readiness

For each upcoming build, Alora calculates: which parts are ready, which are at risk, which customers are affected, and how much revenue is exposed.

4

Act on What Matters

Teams see at-risk builds ranked by revenue exposure — not by build date or project name. The highest-impact shortages get attention first.

Real Scenarios

How this plays out in practice

Hidden shortage cascades through 3 builds

Scenario

A capacitor supplier signals a 4-week delay on a standard component. The ERP shows the PO update, but nobody connects it to the 3 different assemblies that need this part.

With Alora

Alora immediately shows that 3 builds across 2 customers are impacted, with $1.4M in combined revenue at risk. The operations team reallocates existing inventory from a lower-priority build to protect the critical customer delivery.

Weekly build review replaced by real-time visibility

Scenario

The operations team spends 4 hours every Monday compiling build readiness data from ERP, spreadsheets, and email threads. By the time the picture is clear, half the week is gone.

With Alora

Alora provides a continuously updated build readiness dashboard. The Monday meeting drops to 30 minutes of decision-making instead of 4 hours of data gathering.
