What is ITV?
In-Transit Visibility
ITV is the ability to track the identity, status, and location of materiel and units as they move through the distribution pipeline. It turns a shipment from a black box into a known, queryable object, which is the basis for accountability and planning in a theater.
ITV is a constant requirement in deployed logistics; gaps in it directly drive lost materiel, duplicate orders, and readiness risk.
In FORGEFORGE pairs ITV with edge data so a part's location and a work order waiting on it are connected, not siloed.
Common questions
Why is in-transit visibility important?
Without it, units re-order materiel already inbound, can't plan around arrivals, and lose accountability of high-value items — all of which raise cost and degrade readiness.
