PURIS - Predictive Unit Realtime Information Service

To maintain both efficiency and resilience in modern supply chains, a data-driven approach is essential. Decisions need to be prepared reliably so that they can be made quickly and in line with cost and sustainability considerations.

PURIS defines the service for the exchange of data between supply chain partners using recognized Catena-X standards. The content of the information to be exchanged is tailored to these standards and standardized in data models. This creates a common language as an important prerequisite for communication at eye level.

  • Standardized information objects: The foundation  to guarantee a fast, effective and scalable information exchange
  • Short-term focus: horizon of day 0 till 4 weeks ahead
  • Control and compliance: Catena-X date space as indispensable element to ensure an appropriate level of data sovereignty and security for participating entities
  • Control and compliance: PURIS uses the Catena-X data space to ensure the required level of data sovereignty for all participants
  • Access: PURIS offers a FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) reference implementation to ease up and motivate entry and collaboration especially for Small- and Midsized Enterprises (SMEs).
  • Objective: integrative view on supply chains
  • Daily data exchange: on demand date exchange of dedicated information
  • Greater accuracy: highest accuracy of information due to availability of planned and actual data through the use of current planned and actual data
  • Shared view: common view on supply situation, even in case of shortage
  • More efficient: more efficient planning thanks to an increased quality of supply chain forecast
  • Reduced costs: cost reduction due to maintaining smooth processes and regular turn-over
  • Increased delivery reliability: proactive risk management leads to high-level delivery performance
  • Catena-X data space is fundamental for interoperability
  • Digital Twins based on the Industry Core assures a better scaling through standardized communication between partners
  • Catena-X Governance Framework enables sovereign & secure data exchange

The following clip shows what PURIS means:

PURIS is the service that provides data to other applications:

  • on an equal basis - quid pro quo
  • bi-directional
  • based on the Catena-X data ecosystem
  • through standardised & certified data objects
  • from day 0 to 4 weeks in advance

most important goal: integrative view of the supply chain:
