4flow NEVA® – rapid modeling and analysis of supply chain networks

Businesses dependent on transportation benefit from having an agile supply chain. However, agile network design requires visibility over the entire network – a challenge without suitable software. This is where the supply chain modeling software 4flow NEVA® (Network Exploration, Visualization and Analysis) can help. It enables quick and easy interactive visualization and analysis of your baseline network structures within a few minutes.

• 4flow NEVA® helps supply chain planners, analysts and consultants gain a better understanding of supply chain networks, enabling them to react quickly to changes and identify potential improvements.
• 4flow NEVA® supports decision makers as an easy-to-use starting point for fast and strategic decision making.

4flow NEVA® is a user-friendly web-based application suitable for all industries and all modes of transportation.

Early-stage transparency improves the quality of planning and contributes to better decision making.

With 4flow NEVA®, you can improve network transparency and update stakeholders on short notice thanks to the software’s quick creation of overviews of the as-is network. Well-suited for inbound, outbound or intercompany networks, the modeling software performs center of gravity analyses to identify optimal locations for hubs or warehouses.

4flow NEVA® helps businesses review their baseline supply chain networks and consider changes like supplier locations and shipment volatility over time. ​

With relevant metrics like costs, transportation utilization, throughput and inventory sizes, 4flow NEVA® gives you an overview of your transportation network and lets you review details for certain suppliers or customers. By reviewing KPIs for a given time period, you can draw on various network scenarios to compare options and make better data-driven decisions to adapt quickly to changing environments.

Businesses must continuously review and optimize their supply chains in today’s dynamic markets. Identifying weaknesses in as-is networks is a smart starting point for this network design process.

With 4flow NEVA®’s powerful visualization function, you can easily reveal risks to your supply chain network, such as changes in future demand. The software suggests tips to improve your network planning to prevent and protect against risks.

Soon, 4flow NEVA® will let you identify expensive or unsustainable modes of transportation to support continuous network improvement.

Carbon emissions are becoming an increasingly important metric in supply chain networks as governments implement regulations and standards for sustainability.​ ​

4flow NEVA® measures and tracks greenhouse gases, carbon emission intensities, exhaust emission and air pollutants. In addition, the software calculates, analyzes and models related external costs, such as climate change, exhaust emission, accident and noise costs. ​ ​

These functionalities provide a sustainability baseline that can be used to monitor and report progress towards sustainability goals, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and identify potential to reduce carbon emissions.
