Data Analytics
and Visualization

AOR Logistics leverages the design work of partner QuantumS3 in representing and deploying meti ™ – a data mining and visualization software that enables real-time management and predictive analytics of critical supply chain and inventory management status and projections. meti ™ is an open-source designed software and can be easily customized and scaled across an enterprise without paying expensive license fees or royalties.

Military, homeland security, and first responder personnel utilize tactical displays to fight, survive, and win on a multi-dimensional battlefield. Tactical displays use information provided through visualization to enable situational awareness. Situational awareness leads to accurate and timely decision making. Sound decision making leads to mission success and the achievement of operational efficiencies. meti ™ is the Logistician’s tactical display.

meti ™ is a data Dashboard tool. The name meti ™ is derived from the Latin word for “measure” or metior. meti ™ uses state-of-the-art machine language and artificial intelligence to seamlessly and securely work with data sources to derive insights that enable thoughtful and informed decision making and actions.

meti ™ incorporates data analytics and predictive forecasting by mining data to limitlessly produce custom visualizations. meti ™ equips decision makers with organizational overviews of their logistics and supply chain operation, providing a virtually unlimited array of visualizations.

meti ™ provides data visualizations that are fully interactive and designed to help show situational awareness into status, trends, and emerging results. meti ™ can quickly provide real-time insight into the status and progress of maintenance efforts, critical supply inventories and shortfalls, and management oversight of transportation assets designed to keep an operation moving forward. meti ™ reduces the need for labor-intensive, costly, and error-prone manual data entry associated with trying to bootstrap charts and tables out of common tools such as MS Excel.

meti ™ is built from cutting edge, open-source application design software. No need to pay expensive commercial software royalty fees and licenses. meti ™ can easily be connected to one or many data sources and assimilates, efficiently cleans, and precisely selects desired data quickly. meti ™ can be easily launched and operated from a computer, tablet, and mobile device.

meti ™ includes an “Ask the Expert” interface that messages our software team to update or provide additional visualizations as desired. meti ™ includes Human Capital Management (HCM) that displays program personnel data, gaps, and activities. And, meti ™ has a geospatial feature that maps physical locations of assets, personnel, suppliers, and events.

meti ™ can be applied to a single program site or to an enterprise.
