Helios 2.0 has arrived 🎉
Hi everyone, we have exciting news: Helios 2.0 has finally arrived! Here at the Helios headquarters, we’ve been calling Helios 2.0 a love letter to procurement analysts - the unsung heroes of the global food industry.
As most of you saw this week, we were thrilled to announce the launch of Helios 2.0, a drastically improved version of our AI platform that helps predict and mitigate agricultural supply disruptions. All of the work we did, and the improvements you see, were informed by and in service of our core users: the oft-forgotten Procurement Analyst.
We began our journey at Helios with a simple mission: to predict and mitigate agricultural supply chain disruptions using cutting-edge AI technology. With the world facing more and more unpredictable climate events and catastrophes, our goal has always been to empower you, the backbone of the global food industry, with the tools you need to navigate these challenges. To get ahead of these disruptions and your competitors. And so Helios 2.0 isn't just an upgrade; it's a transformational leap forward, designed to enhance your user experience and supercharge the predictive capabilities of our platform.
So, what's different? Three core things:
#1 - Automatic Weekly Reports
Introducing weekly reports sent directly to your email. We understand that your time is precious, and monitoring your dashboard daily can be a daunting task. These weekly reports summarize key insights, including overall risk trends, which suppliers are moving up or down, and pinpoint the riskiest suppliers, commodities, and countries in your supply chain. This ensures that you're always informed and ready to make proactive decisions, without the need to constantly check in on the platform.
#2 - Notes and Document Hub
You asked for it and now it's here - the ability to upload notes and documents for each of your suppliers, keeping all essential information organized in one convenient location. This functionality not only streamlines your workflow but also enhances collaboration within your team. Sharing insights and important documents has never been easier, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and can act swiftly when the situation demands.
#3 - Custom Global Dashboard Settings
Finally, you can tailor the platform to meet your specific needs. Whether you prefer Imperial or Metric units, need to adjust for custom growing seasons, or have other unique requirements, Helios 2.0 adapts to you. This level of customization not only improves the relevance of the data presented but also enhances your analytical capabilities, enabling more accurate and timely decision-making.
As always, reach out with any suggestions, concerns, ideas, or just a virtual shoulder to cry on. We know everyone depends on you when things go wrong and often ignores you when things are great, but we want you to know that we're here for you. Even if it's just to talk about that weird frost that wiped out strawberries in Egypt, or the warm winter that took out mangoes.
Because we know how awesome you are. Always.
Yours truly,
The Helios Team
