Scope, view, act: the operator’s path through Altana’s Value Chain Management System.
- Product design
- Information architecture
Altana maps global supply chains as one shared knowledge graph, used by businesses and governments alike. They brought KOPPER in to re-platform the product ahead of two launches: the Product Network, and a U.S. Customs program called Global Entry for Goods that fast-tracks trusted importers.
KOPPER had three months to land one information architecture across the whole organization. Scattered internal tools became a single system that frontline teams, suppliers, and customs officials navigate the same way.
One passport per product. Identity, surveys, production roles, and origin travel with the Catalyst 9300-48P. Publishing an update settles the diff, then pushes the new revision to every distributor downstream.
The chain is a graph. Five tiers, from Cisco’s distributor hubs back to mines and refineries. The lens traces the edges tier by tier, then lights the path where exposure enters: Penang, Kunshan, Maoming.
Lenses are saved questions. One workspace, 4,096 objects. Each lens reframes the same network: exposures, forced labor, HS classification, USMCA claims with live eligibility and duty savings.
