Below are results from internal benchmarking and scenario-based validation.
INDUSTRY 5 offers more than theoretical innovation. i5 can deliver transformative operational performance.
RESPONSIVENESS: Time and effort savings in reacting to unexpected disruptions
Traditional systems rely on human intervention and batch updates, delaying response. i5 enables autonomous, real-time reaction, reducing exposure and improving fulfillment.
| Traditional ERP | + INDUSTRY 5 | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to reroute shipments | 36 hours | 4.2 minutes | -35.9 hours |
| Number of manual interventions | 7 | 0 | -7 |
| Inventory at risk ($ value) | $1.2M | $150K | -$1.05M |
| Fulfillment rate within SLA | 82% | 98.60% | 16.60% |
| This example illustrates how the i5 system vastly improves responsiveness to events like port closures or transit delays. | |||
COORDINATION EFFICIENCY: Speed and quality of resolution in distributed agent coordination
Centralized systems handle decisions sequentially. i5 uses a dynamic coordination graph allowing decentralized agents to negotiate solutions concurrently and efficiently.
| Baseline (central planning) | i5 Dynamic Coordination | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to resolve contention (avg) | 2.5 hours | 8.3 seconds | -2.49 hours |
| Number of iterations to convergence | 15 | 2.4 | -12.6 |
| Resolution quality (cost-minimized) | 88% optimal | 99.7% optimal | 11.70% |
| Demonstrates how quickly and optimally i5 agents resolve resource contention. | |||
ADAPTABILITY UNDER UNCERTAINTY: Real-time replanning during forecast deviation
Traditional APS tools lack feedback loops and are slow to adjust. i5 continuously learns and replans using real-time data, minimizing forecast-induced losses.
| Traditional APS | i5 System | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forecast deviation impact on cost | 18% | 3% | -15% |
| Decision latency | 2 days | Real-time | -2 days |
| Forecast accuracy improvement | N/A | 22% | 22% |
| Shows how i5 reacts to volatile conditions by adjusting decisions on the fly. | |||
PILOT RESULTS: Operational impact observed during a pilot rollout
Traditional systems require planners to chase issues and make manual adjustments. i5 reduces the need for interventions through real-time autonomy, leading to both financial and human efficiency gains.
| Before (Legacy) | After (i5) | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-time delivery rate | 87.20% | 98.10% | 10.90% |
| Working capital tied in inventory | $8.7M | $6.1M | -$2.6M |
| Planner workload (avg hours/day) | 10.2 | 3.4 | -6.8 |
| Exception rates (per week) | 54 | 11 | -43 |
| Summarizes improvements in delivery rates, planner workload, and inventory optimization after implementing i5. | |||
RESILIENCE TO DISRUPTIONS: Ability to recover from supplier failures in real time
In legacy systems, identifying supply disruptions and enacting recovery plans can take hours or days. With i5’s reasoning agents and live data ingestion, remediation is nearly instantaneous, preserving service levels.
| Traditional System | INDUSTRY 5 | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to identify root cause | 19 hours | 3.5 minutes | -18.4 hours |
| Alternate supplier engagement time | 48 hours | 12.7 minutes | -47.8 hours |
| Customer orders delayed | 1420 | 53 | -1367 |
| Total revenue loss | $3.4M | $210K | -$3.19M |
| Compares how i5 mitigates risk and revenue loss during a multi-tier disruption scenario. | |||
REAL-TIME REPLANNING: Financial and operational gains during demand spikes
Legacy approaches panic under demand shock, overspending to recover. i5 adapts immediately, preserving profit while delivering at scale.
| Without i5 | With i5 | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| % of demand spike fulfilled | 67% | 96% | 29% |
| Gross margin impact | -12% | 4.50% | 16.50% |
| Emergency logistics cost increase | 37% | 5.20% | -31.80% |
| Highlights how i5 maintains profitability and service levels during unexpected demand surges. | |||
HUMAN-AGENT COLLABORATION: Impact on decision load and planner satisfaction
Human planners shift from firefighting to strategy. The agent team handles the routine, while humans apply judgment only when needed.
| Manual-Only | i5 Hybrid (Humans + Agents) | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily decisions per planner | 26 | 112 | 86 |
| Planner decision fatigue (survey) | 4.3/5 | 1.1/5 | -3.2 |
| Override rate of agent suggestions | N/A | 3.70% | 3.70% |
| Time to analyze multi-scenario tradeoffs | 3.8 hours | 15 minutes | -3.55 hours |
| Evaluates how i5 agents enhance human productivity without displacing human oversight. | |||
PLANNING HORIZON COMPRESSION: Transition from episodic to continuous planning
Instead of recalibrating monthly, i5 updates plans continuously—reacting in hours instead of weeks. This dramatically reduces error impact and workload.
| Monthly Planning | Continuous w/ i5 | Δ Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning cycle frequency | 1x per 30 days | 4x per day | +119x/month |
| Forecast error adjustment latency | 25 days | 2 hours | -24.92 days |
| Decision backlog | 147 | 0 | -147 |
| Quantifies the shift in planning frequency and error response due to i5. | |||
Why i5?
When these capabilities come together, they create positive flywheels:
Speed drives accuracy, which reduces cost.
- Real-time orchestration minimizes latency.
- Faster decisions = more timely outcomes = less firefighting and loss.
Learning compounds value.
- Every run improves the next run.
- ROI isn’t static; it grows—like compounding interest.
Human-machine harmony creates leverage.
- Instead of replacing humans, the system amplifies them.
- Lower stress + higher decision quality = better outcomes and retention.
Security and trust enable scale.
- Trustworthy agent behavior means the system can scale safely, autonomously.
Cross-domain applicability means resilience and revenue.
- INDUSTRY 5 isn’t just a tool—it’s a new system.
- New verticals can adopt i5 without re-architecture.
Compelling ROI & TCO
- Most enterprise transformations die in the cost/complexity curve.
- i5 avoids this by augmenting rather than replacing legacy systems, meaning the value starts flowing immediately.
What makes the i5 approach unique isn’t just the presence of novel approaches.
It’s the coherence across layers.
Most systems get stuck optimizing a single axis (e.g., real-time vs. secure, efficient vs. flexible).
INDUSTRY 5 is a system that aligns:
- Architectural elegance
- Operational agility
- Human experience
- Business value
That’s rare. And that’s powerful.
