LLegrandExecutive Cockpit

Tech Overview

The architecture under the cockpit — how data flows from many disconnected brand, plant and channel systems into one governed truth, how that truth becomes a decision, and how two 360s still deliver over real data gaps.

Under the hood

One governed brain over
many disconnected systems.

No big-bang migration. The platform federates each brand, plant and channel system, resolves it to one ontology, and serves a single trusted number — then turns that number into a decision, and the decision into an owner's action.

Technical architecture

The governed stack — eight tiers, federated not centralized

Each brand, plant and channel system stays where it is. The platform layers ingestion, master-data resolution, a shared ontology and a semantic layer on top, then serves one governed truth to the apps and AI. Data flows top → bottom.

Data flow

How one record travels — source to served truth

A single transaction's journey through the stack. A confidence flag and a reconciliation tie-out ride along with it the whole way.

1
Extract

Adapters pull each brand, plant & channel system's events on schedule / CDC.

2
Land

Raw records stored verbatim, with lineage + timestamp.

🧩
3
Resolve

Codes matched to one canonical entity.

🧬
4
Model

Mapped onto the ontology — classes & relationships.

📐
5
Define

Native fields → governed metrics; estimates flagged.

🔌
6
Serve

One metrics API; reconciliation gates the numbers.

🔭
7
Consume

360 views, exec briefs & AI read one truth.

🏷 A confidence flag (Actuals / Allocated / Region-only) and a reconciliation tie-out travel with every value — so a number is never shown without knowing how bankable it is.
From data to action · the decision flow

How one number becomes a decision

The governed truth doesn't sit in a warehouse — it routes itself to the right view, the right action, and the right owner.

The agentic layer

An agent on every value pillar

The four value-creation pillars don't just have dashboards — each has a standing agent that reads its governed data products and recommends the next move. Same ground truth, automated.

The hard part

Two 360s that work before the data is clean

Some brands and units aren't fully on the common SAP grain yet, so the unit→family mapping and plant-grain detail are incomplete. These views still answer — by resolving, allocating-and-flagging, then reconciling. The estimate is labelled, never hidden.

The gap
6 of 10brands not yet plant-grain

Some units report at their own grain — so the unit → plant → product family → legal-entity rollup is partly missing or inferred.

How the platform bridges it
1
Resolve. AI maps each legacy unit / plant / leader code to one canonical org node.
2
Allocate + flag. Where a unit isn't mapped, revenue is disaggregated from its geography on learned drivers — and marked an estimate.
3
Reconcile. Allocated parts must foot back to the family total; breaks are surfaced, not hidden.

The gap
10 unitsallocated or region-only

For units not yet on the common grain, plant-asset, software-&-services-revenue and revenue detail isn't available at plant grain — so the plant twin would otherwise be blank.

How the platform bridges it
1
Estimate. Plant figures are modelled to ~86% coverage from geography totals and plant-asset signals.
2
Flag confidence. Every estimated plant carries an Actuals / Allocated / Region-only badge and a coverage %.
3
Flip to actuals. As each unit cuts over to SAP, its plant grain rises and estimates become ledger actuals.
