Blue Agave's ActiveResponse applications enable organizations to predict, understand, and respond to a variety of issues before they impact the business. In the retail and consumer products industry, this means preventing stock-outs before they occur, diverting excess before it reaches the store, or addressing stores-not-scanning on the first day of a promotion or new product introduction.

In any industry, reality doesn't always unfold according to plans or forecasts. With the mountains of information available to organizations today, issues often remain hidden until it is too late to take meaningful action. This is where ActiveResponse comes in. Guiding users step-by-step through the actions they need to take in order to effectively address "surprises," ActiveResponse enables organizations to improve performance and minimize operational interruptions.

ActiveResponse offers:

• Real-time, automated analysis of huge volumes of disparate data — from both internal and external sources, including point-of-sale and RFID


• Anticipation, identification, and prioritization of critical issues, based on your organization's business rules


• Resolution recommendations based on your organization's best practices and current business conditions


• Exposure of the root causes of each issue


• Context that provides crucial background information for every issue


• Workflow that guides users and provides the tools necessary for collaborative problem-solving


• Tracking of every action taken


• An intuitive web-based visual environment that keeps users informed and organized
