# Supply Chain Event Management

*Last updated: 2026-06-26*

> Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) is the real-time monitoring and exception handling of deviations across the supply chain—transport delays, inventory discrepancies, quality failures, and damaged shipments.

Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) is the real-time monitoring and exception handling of deviations across the supply chain—transport delays, inventory discrepancies, quality failures, and damaged shipments. Where ERP and planning systems rely on aggregated periodic data, SCEM operates at the execution layer: carriers, warehouse operators, and shippers detect disruptions as they occur rather than in end-of-period reviews. Automated alerts and pre-configured escalation protocols trigger corrective action before customer commitments are at risk. SCEM platforms consolidate live data from track-and-trace systems, WMS, TMS, and IoT sensors into a single visibility layer, making them a practical complement to broader supply chain visibility tools.
