The problem
"Which orders could miss their date this week?" needs open orders from the ERP, stock from the warehouse, the production plan, transport capacity and customer commitments from the CRM. By the time a planner has pulled it together by hand, the answer has changed.

Logistics
Prices alternative transport and rebooks.
Credit control
Re-scores exposure on orders held for credit.
