01 / The 6 Systems

One control tower, six sources of truth.

WMS, TMS, IMS, AMS, IoT and AI don't replace one another — each feeds a specific piece of real-time steering. The control tower doesn't duplicate them, it extracts what triggers a decision.

The WMS drives the physical reality of the warehouse: receiving, locations, order picking, shipping, inventory counts. It's the source of truth on what's where, and what's left to do today.

In the control tower: In a control tower, the WMS doesn't report every pallet move — it feeds stock levels of critical SKUs, orders running late against their SLA, inventory discrepancies and the service rate per site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions, our answers.

A control tower is a command center that consolidates real-time data from your systems — WMS, TMS, inventory management, assets, IoT sensors — to detect deviations from plan, trigger alerts and prioritize decisions. It does not replace your software: it extracts what calls for action.

At Nextinotech, three tiers: Control Tower Mini from 135,000 MAD excl. VAT (4 to 6 weeks, 3 to 5 key dashboards), Control Tower Pilot from 330,000 MAD excl. VAT (2 to 3 months, 8 to 12 dashboards, alerts and steering committee ritual), Control Tower Pro from 840,000 MAD excl. VAT (4 to 6 months, multi-site, AI and executive mobile portal).

Those that trigger a decision: service rate and OTIF, stockouts and coverage of critical SKUs, late orders, delivery position and ETA, fleet availability and downtime, fuel consumption, cash tied up in inventory. Choosing the indicators and their thresholds is the first step of every tier.

Yes, provided you start small. The Mini tier covers 3 to 5 dashboards on the topics that cost the most (customer service, inventory, cash), using data you already have. You then expand the scope once the first alerts have proven their value.

Yes: the video and screenshots on this page show a transport control tower (real-time map, vehicle sheet, maintenance, tanks, planning), on fictitious data. The interactive WMS and TMS demos on the site show the source systems that feed it.

No. Nextinotech takes no vendor commission: we recommend and integrate whatever tools fit your context, whether Power BI dashboards, an off-the-shelf control tower platform, or custom development.

No, but it is the most efficient order. A control tower consumes data from your existing systems; without a WMS or TMS, it starts with a narrower scope (ERP, manual files), which limits the value of the first alerts. The Mini tier is designed to work even with still-basic source systems.

Integration technically connects your systems to one another. A control tower goes further: it adds alert thresholds, exception prioritization and the decision governance that turn that connected data into real-time steering.

The Mini tier (4 to 6 weeks) delivers an initial scope of 3 to 5 dashboards. The first visible return on investment, usually on transport costs, typically appears 3 to 6 months after the initial deployment ends.

No. A Mini or Pilot-level control tower runs on manually configured thresholds and alerts, without AI. AI (anomaly detection, automatic prioritization) is the most advanced maturity level, relevant once basic governance is stable.
