How Exol scales robotic warehouse design with Lyric Studio

What does it take to model a brand new supply chain every single week? Teresa Viola, Senior Manager of Supply Chain Analytics at Exol, does exactly that for every prospective customer. Exol runs robot-powered fulfillment centers across major US markets, so every proposal means a fresh analysis of product characteristics, portfolio velocity and cost to serve. It used to run in Excel, unstructured and prone to error.

Teresa walks through the pipeline her team built in Lyric Studio:

• A customer sends raw data, uploaded straight into the platform
• Agents interpret it and surface portfolio insights automatically
• A full supply chain model gets built in a green note
• A handshake passes it downstream into the cost model
• Cost to serve comes out, and the proposal follows in days

She also explains why daisy chaining was the real differentiator, and why depth, breadth and speed no longer force a trade-off. "I think Lyric Studio is the platform to go with."
