Technology Roadmap

Roadmap Overview

Inventory management system is a critical component of business operations' supply chain management that ensures efficient flows of materials and products from vendors to customers.

‎Key Goals of the SCM – inventory management system are:

  • Providing timely, complete, and accurate inventory levels to managements
  • Minimizing carrying costs while ensuring product availability.
  • Reducing stockouts and overstock situations.
  • Enhancing supply chain visibility and responsiveness.
  • Streamlining operations and reducing inefficiencies.
  • Lowering costs while maintaining service levels.
  • Meeting customer demand accurately and on time.
  • Adapting to changes in demand, supply, and market conditions.


Effective management systems provide the right products at the right time and place to meet growing customer demand. It is a critical aspect of modern business operations and plays a crucial role in achieving profitability and customer satisfaction.

Figures of Merit (FOM)

The table below show a list of FOMs by which can assess a Payment System:

Class Figure of Merit Units Metric
Performance Value of transactions processed per annum [US$] Monetary value of all transactions processed per annum.
Productivity Number of transactions processed per annum # of transactions processed per country, per individual or business client type Count of the number of transactions processed per annum.
Machine learning accuracy Weighted False Positive ratio <math>\sum_{i=1}^{Systems} Weight_i \frac{FalsePositives_i}{(FalsePositives_i + TrueNegatives_i)} </math>
Efficiency Average cost per transaction [US cents] The total Earnings Before Interest and Tax (Tax) divided by the Number of transactions processed per annum
Transaction settlement period [Seconds] The time lag between the payment initiation of the payment order and its final settlement.
Sustainability System downtime per year [Seconds] The seconds in a year is that the system is not online and processing successfully, i.e., not “up and running”.
Payment conversion rate [%] # of settled transactions per annum / # of attempted transactions per annum
Fraud prevention [%] # of fraudulent transactions / # approved transactions
