The Digital Supply ChainThe Digital Supply Chain is best defined as transforming the traditional exchanges of information from document-centric to data-centric, as it relates to the Construction supply chain. The Digital Supply Chain includes work process integration throughout the entire Project execution. In the same way aspects of EPC construction have moved upstream (i.e., modular construction), the Digital Supply Chain Program moves digital creation of inbound asset information upstream and enables Suppliers to publish asset data at the point of origin. This functionality removes data entry from the Project Site and transfers ownership back to the Supplier (or the original source of information) about the material and equipment being supplied. This improves Project visibility into the physical structure of materials arriving at the Jobsite and provides a better understanding of the supply chain, translating into a deeper understanding of constructability.
The value of utilizing auto-ID (RFID/barcodes) is well documented. By increasing the auto-ID footprint on the Project and moving this work upstream, the downstream benefits of transactional efficiency gains and improved material control are optimized. A solid Digital Supply Chain Program is not limited to just the use of auto-ID hardware and software but also includes Supplier Integration Instructions, Contract Requirements Language, and Requirements Compliance Monitoring to ensure Supplier participation is achieved.
The Digital Supply Chain opens a direct line of engagement with the Suppliers, resulting in tighter integration of Supplier information. Having Suppliers tightly coupled into the Project’s Work Plan allows for a healthy environment as well as an ease of information sharing between all parties.

How to Use Digital Supply Chain ProfessionalsOur Jovix Digital Supply Chain professionals specialize in monitoring data-centric workflows, enhancing communication and collaboration, and improving visibility into material flow to Construction at each point in the Digital Supply Chain. The Digital Supply Chain Team ensures the Jovix platform is used to capture data about material location and availability digitally, and in real time, which enables more consistent and efficient communication and collaboration across multiple Project Team members. With coordinated efforts over the entire supply chain lifecycle, the Digital Supply Chain Coordinator (DSCC) connects digital data to physical material movement. As a result, the Project has the real-time, actionable information needed to make informed decisions. We call this Material Readiness®.
The Digital Supply Chain Team’s responsibilities include:
1. STRATEGY DEVELOPMENTDeveloping a Digital Supply Chain doesn’t happen overnight. The strategy must be developed at a corporate level and incorporated in all future supply chain methods for Project execution. The Jovix DSCC aids in creating strategies at Corporate and Project levels to prepare organizations for the transition to a Digital Supply Chain execution model. With a focus on efficiency gains and maximizing productivity, our team develops an execution plan that covers the what, how, who, and when.
2. IMPLEMENTATIONThe on-site DSCC is responsible for a smooth implementation of the Jovix Material Readiness system and is accountable to the Client’s Site Material Manager for day-to-day outcomes. The DSCC is there to maximize the value of the system and work processes, beginning with upstream Supplier tagging and ending with Construction Crews having the right material, in the right condition, at the right time...every time.
3. PROJECT SUSTAINMENTWhile the Project is underway, our team maintains cross-departmental coordination to advise and direct priorities, based on readiness. Our dynamic industry requires accurate and informed decision-making with both quick responses and thoughtful change management control.
4. CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT & IMPROVEMENTThe Jovix Digital Supply Chain Team operates with a forward-thinking mindset to anticipate and mitigate change. As scopes of work evolve and create shifts in demand, the supply chain infrastructure must be synchronized and fluid. We focus on building and maintaining the program with a very dynamic mindset while collaborating with Project departments and teams to build infrastructure for short-term and long-term success.

Virtual Learning Management System tailored for each Project, including remote training capabilities for multiple locations, Contractors, Suppliers, etc.
Identify the various roles of Jovix Users, and generate appropriate training criteria for their specific roles.
Shadow Users and conduct on-the-spot training to correct any identified deficiencies.
Provide a detailed Training Plan for Jovix Users that requires participation and confirmation of knowledge acquisition to ensure User proficiency.
Certify Jobsite Coordinators through an all-encompassing Jovix Training Program, when directed by the Client.
Develop a Transition Plan when the DSCC is to de-mobilize and a Client Coordinator is to take over the Jovix system management.
Ensure ongoing adoption of the Jovix Train Station for continued training and the Jovix loyalty Program.
The contractual requirement for Suppliers to participate within a Digital Supply Chain Program creates additional focus on the Supplier’s Quality Control Program. Enforcing a Digital Supply Chain Program in which Suppliers must tag assets with either RFID or barcodes allows for greater visibility and precision through Digital Packing List creation. The increase in focus on Supplier data quality improves accuracy, which can be monitored through digital reporting metrics to quickly identify Supplier Program health.
A Digital Supply Chain Program promotes the digital assignment of all assets to a parent tag and/or Work
Plan (CWP/IWP). This prevents an environment of unmanaged “Ship Loose”, which often leads to inefficiencies regarding proper management of the assets. Additionally, being able to understand all components related to CWP and/or IWPs prevents improper issuing of assets to the Construction Crews. Correctly issuing IWPs keeps crews productive and Foremen/Superintendents in the field managing work rather than chasing missing materials from incomplete issuances.
“I was surprised at how user-friendly and
simple the process of RFID-tagging is with
the mobile application. The online training
ensures even new team members are
familiar with the process, and the training
material is always there for us to reference..”

Jovix Insights is a suite of standard and customized reports that provide valuable business intelligence for the Digital Supply Chain Program. Harnessing data captured in Jovix and through Integrations with Client and Supplier systems, Jovix Insights exposes the key metrics that are critical to Digital Supply Chain Program quality and Project performance. The Jovix Insights platform empowers Users to visualize and explore Project data with the ability to quickly assess overall Project performance or drill down to a specific data point for deeper analysis.
DIGITAL TOOLS
WHAT REPORTS ARE INCLUDED?Supplier Engagement: This report helps Users to monitor the progress of upstream tagging activities by Suppliers. Top Left: Shows the number of tagged Purchase Order Delivery Line items which have been placed in Shipping Units (i.e., box, crate, pallet, container, etc.). Bottom Left: Shows the breakdown of tagged items per Site. Top Right: Identifies the number of materials tagged by each Supplier. The value driven from this specific visual is knowing if tagging efforts are taking place or if Suppliers who are supposed to be tagging require additional attention/support. Bottom Right: Users can see by Purchase Order how many line items have been tagged by the Supplier. This can be beneficial as it helps Users understand if there will be any tagging required upon receipt,
or if they need to direct the Supplier to complete tagging activities before shipping.
SRN Status: This report allows Users to quickly determine the delivery status of a given Shipment Release Notice (SRN) as the shipment progresses from location to location. When a gate reader detects RFID tags on a shipment, it updates the associated PODLs with the name of the reader and the date/time of the read. On the “SRN View”, the date/time displayed on the SRN is the date/time of the most recently read PODL associated with the SRN.
Project Material Status: The Project Material Status Report is used to assess material management performance and identify stagnant transactions that could affect Construction productivity. Resolving stagnant transactions is critical since materials on incomplete transactions are often not visible in Jovix for Construction planning. For example, materials that have physically arrived on-site from a Supplier but do not exist on a completed receipt in Jovix will not show as available inventory to Workface Planners. Additionally, the report provides transaction cycle times and performance trend analysis for the Project.

Quantity Summary:
This report provides Users with a snapshot of material quantities across different statuses. This is beneficial both for understanding the current state of material quantities and for how quantities are changing over time. The data is broken out by discipline and unit of measure and can be displayed by either total quantity or total weight per material. When viewing by weight, the User can switch between kilograms and metric tonnes, as desired.
Project KPI Status
Through the Jovix Insights reporting, Owners have the ability to manage Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across the entire Project and its global supply chain from the Project Site through the Mod Yards and Fabrication facilities. Jovix Insights gives the Owner the ability to view KPI metrics at an entire Project level or drill down to specific work areas, an EPC’s General Contractors, or Project locations to identify bottlenecks and address schedule issues before they affect the craft in the field.
Forecasted Material Runway
This is a dashboard that provides visibility into Work Package material availability by Contractor and Construction work area, based on Required-At-Site (RAS) Dates.
Material Skyline Report
This report outlines where there are material deficiencies within the Project plan. Allows Users to quickly assess whether there are material deficiencies for a specific job. Using this visual, Users can drill down and see the respective Work Packages which are directly affected, and even further down, they can see which materials are specifically deficient and either need to be procured or obtained from other jobs. This report can quickly identify bottlenecks within the Construction Schedule
and pinpoint what Users need to address in order to meet their schedule. Additionally, this report can help Users understand what is truly completable, in the event they need to rearrange scopes of work to keep Construction Crews productive.
MORE REPORTS FROM JOVIX INSIGHTS...
Work Package Soft Allocation:
This report imports information from across the supply chain, including:
EPC procurement information EPC BOM (CWPs)
General Contractor procurement information General Contractor FIWPs
Construction Schedule information Supplier upstream tagging
It imports Logistics information from Fabricators, Suppliers, Mod Yards, and Off-Site Laydown Yards.
It imports Jobsite and Mod Yard information such as Receipts, Picks, Issues, OS&Ds, and Inspections.
DIGITAL TOOLS
Late Inspections: This report identifies the status of incomplete Inspections. Inspections can be an integral part of Construction, and it is vitally important that certain assets are inspected regularly and on schedule. In some cases, there can be liability and cost implications with missed or failed Inspections. Top: This visual breaks down incomplete Inspections and identifies if they are upcoming, late, or do not have a due date assigned. Bottom: This breaks down the incomplete Inspections by Inspection Template, which can provide Users with an order or priority which they need to execute.
