Supply chain software vendor Deposco today launched a “Tariff Tracker Dashboard” which leverages real-time market intelligence from the company’s Bright Suite platform to help businesses proactively respond to the complex challenges posed by evolving trade policies.
According to Atlanta-based Deposco, the tool comes as businesses continue to grapple with significant supply chain adjustments following the recent implementation of tariffs. For example, the firm’s proprietary data recently revealed a dramatic surge in Days of Inventory on Hand (DIOH) between February and April 2025, as companies stockpiled goods ahead of new trade policies, significantly exceeding the inventory increase seen during the pandemic.
“This significant inventory build-up represents a strategic pivot by companies attempting to mitigate the impact of impending tariffs,” Reid Bishop, Vice President of Data Science at Deposco, said in a release. “Our new Tariff Tracker Dashboard empowers businesses to make these critical decisions with unprecedented visibility into real-time market dynamics rather than operating in the dark.”
Deposco says that unlike traditional forecasting tools, its Tariff Tracker is powered by actual warehouse transaction data, providing statistically significant insights.
“Companies are making a calculated bet that the added carrying costs of additional inventory will be offset by avoiding the tariffs,” Bishop explained. “Our platform data shows that businesses with sophisticated AI and data-driven supply chain tools are better positioned to right-size inventory levels appropriately while maintaining service levels.”
