LOBSTER FOR ORCHESTRATION
Dashboards show what’s broken, but won’t fix the problem. Lobster helps you see what’s ahead, set up checkpoints, and react to supply chain disruptions.
20+ years of experience supporting 2,000+ supply chain companies
Bring in trading partner data, set up transformation rules, and get real-time alerts and notifications. Without having to worry about black-box logic or your data security.
Have teams and partners interact with data and react to it in real time. While keeping workflows easy to understand, optimise, and maintain.
Build lightweight portals for suppliers, logistics partners, and customers. Automate data mapping, including complex field alignments, transformations, and format conversions, and have portal input trigger workflow actions.
Automate communications with supply chain partners, from status updates to booking delivery slots. Add check-in points in complex processes, so that team members can review them instead of doing manual updates.
Visualise and audit data flows, pull in data into charts, and schedule reports. More importantly, set up alerts and notifications to flag wrong order quantity, delayed deliveries, or format errors in real time. So that your team can act on them.
Your built-in AI companion that helps create, troubleshoot, and optimise integrations. No technical skills required.
Lobster is designed for complex, high-volume data flows. Even if you're connecting 10+ apps across your supply chain, you won't have to change the way you work.
Lobster makes any data setup possible. So you can remove bottlenecks now and roll out new connections as you need them. Every step stays easy to inspect, audit, and maintain.
In Lobster, you can combine automations with checkpoints for data input and team check-ins. Find out more about using our platform for data orchestration and see common questions answered below.
Several reasons.
First of all, with Lobster, adding customers, suppliers or carriers to your data flows can be done without custom coding or manual setup.
Secondly, Lobster can handle data exchange, data validation and data mapping across multiple formats and standards.
Lastly, even team members without IT experience or coding knowledge can set up data workflows through visual data mapping and even add data transformation and validation steps with our AI Copilot. While being able to check, audit, and update each of those steps.
Lobster supports integration with a wide range of systems and databases. You can pull in legacy systems data, data from trading partners, CRM or ERP data, and more.
You can add data input checkpoints for customers or partners, with automated workflows for team alerts or sending out communications, such as shipping status updates, triggered based on their input.
With the Trading Partner Manager, you can skip back‑and‑forth communication, manual data entry, re‑testing, and risky certificate updates.
Instead, you set up a portal and invite your suppliers to go through a guided workflow with validation checks to share endpoints and certificates. You can track partners’ progress and move configurations from test to production.
No, you don’t need to be able to code to use Lobster for orchestration.
Instead, you can build out workflows with out drag-and-drop functionality and create web-based forms for partners’ input or dashboards and notification automations for customers.
You can also use Pathfinder AI to help with orchestration setup for more complex data flows.
Lobster orchestration can be used to set up rule-based alerts across email, SMS, Slack, and more, to process or escalate orders, invoices, and shipments.
Users can also set up dashboards and visualisations (pie charts, line graphs, bar charts, and maps) to share real-time data with your trading partners.
Dashboards can pull data from internal databases, third-party databases, APIs, and integration profiles and more.
Internally, all data flows are recorded as a part of the process map and can be viewed to understand full workflow context and dependencies. Additionally, Pathfinder AI supports smart process map search to speed up updates for complex workflows with multiple dependencies.
