Otiox Command · Explorer & Dependency Map

The ontology, opened to view.

Get startedView platform
Otiox is built on an ontology: every supplier, order, material, machine and customer is a thing in its own right, and every relationship between them is a recorded fact — created by the work itself, kept in time, and read by every other part of the system. The Explorer and Dependency Map let you follow those relationships from any record, and see what is at risk when one of them strains.

Relationships as facts, not drawings.

Any tool can draw a graph. What matters is what the graph is made of. In Otiox every connection is created by the work itself — a receipt, a reservation, a schedule — kept in time, and used by every other part of the system to reason.

Any record at the centre

Suppliers, purchase orders, manufacturing orders, customer orders, products, materials, customers, machines and invoices — any of them can be the starting point.

Begin wherever the concern lies

One step, or two

Direct relationships, or two steps out to find the less obvious ones: the customer behind the order behind the material behind the supplier.

Exposure no one had accounted for

Dependencies, with risk

From a supplier, material, product or purchase order, the full tree of what depends on it — every record at risk flagged, and the revenue involved.

Consequences understood before they arrive

As of any date

Relationships are kept in time, so you can see them as they stood on a past date — the context in which a decision was actually made.

Missing links, surfaced

Because relationships are expected, their absence is visible: orders without a supplier, lots without a source, invoices without a receipt.

Gaps closed before they matter

The same facts, everywhere

The relationships you explore here are the ones the Predictive Engine, the Causal Map and the Rules read from. One model, not a separate diagram.

No drift between picture and reality

If this supplier slips, what follows?

The Dependency Map follows recorded relationships downstream from a single starting point — every purchase order, material, manufacturing order and customer order that depends on it, with those at risk marked.

Following a relationship

A few steps from a concern to an answer.
  1. 01

    Choose a type

    Supplier, order, material, machine, customer…

  2. 02

    Find the record

    By name, number or any field

  3. 03

    Extend

    One or two steps, open records only, as of a date

  4. 04

    Follow a thread

    Select any related record to continue from it

  5. 05

    Act

    Open an investigation or rehearse a scenario from there

04

To know a business is to know its relationships.

The Explorer is how a team comes to understand its own operation: from a supplier to a purchase order, to the manufacturing order it feeds, to the customer who waits — each step a fact on the record.

The idea, applied.

Scenarios from the demo workspace, walked through step by step — on the same data you receive when you sign up.
01

Supplier slip impact

Everything downstream of one late supplier.
02

Proof of origin

An auditor asks where one unit came from. The answer, in minutes.
03

Lot recall

A supplier flags a bad lot. Contained in minutes.
06

One ontology, seven ways of seeing it.

Every Command view reads the same things, the same relationships and the same history. An answer found in one becomes evidence in all the others.
01

Predictive Engine

Risks, forecasts and what-if scenarios, explained
02

Accuracy & Calibration

Every prediction frozen and judged against what happened
03

Investigations & Causal Map

Why things happened, with evidence for and against
04

Decisions & Interventions

Who decided, on what evidence, and whether it worked
05

Time Machine

Any record or stock exactly as it was on a date
06

Rules & Controls

Company rules monitored, with attested control runs

Questions

01What is an ontology ERP?
An ERP that models the business as real things — suppliers, materials, machines, orders, customers — and the relationships between them, rather than only as rows in separate tables. Relationships become first-class facts the system can reason with.
02Do I need to build the relationships myself?
No. They arise from everyday work in Otiox and from connected systems: raising a purchase order, reserving material, scheduling a machine, invoicing a customer.
03Which record types can be explored?
Suppliers, purchase orders, manufacturing orders, customer orders, products, materials, customers, machines and invoices.
04Can I see relationships as they were in the past?
Yes. Set an 'as of' date and the Explorer shows the relationships as they stood, from recorded history.
