Building Blocks for Developing High Value Digital Supply Chain Network™ Services
Base Platform Tools
NEO Platform provides an SDK with an IDE built on the Eclipse development tool. Developers using this tool have access to ONE Network’s multi party permissions IP for developing applications that can function securely and take advantage of the ONE’s business network.
Multi-Party Transactions and Multi-Party Data Management
ONE’s multi-party master data services build and maintain a single version of truth across the value chain. Master data is managed across end-to-end lifecycles spanning multiple companies and trading partners and across order management, supply chain, procurement, transportation and finance. This eliminates the need for messy integrations across companies; the data and transactions are maintained as part of a single representation all along.
Multi-Party Permissibility
With an award winning U.S. Marine Corps solution and numerous Department of Defense projects, you can be assured that ONE takes security seriously. Our patented multi-party permissions technology gives you precise control over what is shared with between trading partners and what is private. We eliminate latency and eliminate duplication while maintaining full autonomy over how each partner wants to run their business.

Agent-Based Computational Framework
The NEO Platform framework is designed to work with decision-making agents we call NEO agents. NEO agents can make incremental decisions on appropriate sub-networks at a time. If desired, NEO agents can autonomously run the business within prescribed limits. They sense events, make optimized decisions and generate transactions in real time across the multi-party, multi-tier network. NEO agents know when to escalate and ask decision makers for help. NEO agents can learn and adapt over time.
The NEO Platform provides building blocks to build your own powerful agents. These include a sub-net builder, a horizontally scaling grid, solver libraries, and pluggable solver frameworks for your own solvers. NEO Agents can and do use any type of algorithms including: LP, MILP, heuristic, statistical, Bayesian inference, dynamic programming, micro-simulations, greedy search, etc.
Powerful Design Tools (Platform Studio)
Leverage powerful design tools to boost productivity. Pluggable architecture based on industry standard Eclipse allows you to create your own design tools as well.

Robust UI Frameworks
The NEO Platform provides a robust set of frameworks to help you develop high impact user interfaces rapidly. Available tools and widgets include:
React-Based Framework: Developers can leverage the latest in web technologies when developing on the ONE Platform, including the Flux design pattern, the React framework, mobx, Javascript, HTML5, CSS and more.
Mobile & Responsive UIs: Use ONE’s framework to create UIs which can be run as mobile apps or and other devices. Responsive layouts allow UI pages to gracefully adjust from phones to tablets, through laptops & desktops and up through large television wall displays.
Command & Control Monitoring Dashboards: Users can get near-real-time visibility across all their enterprise data with configurable monitoring dashboards. Convert any operational report into a dashboard chart or KPI through the user interface.
User-Defined Pages: Allow superusers to create simple, intuitive forms using drag-and-drop tools in the User Interface. Avoid the cost and delay of relying on developers to create forms.
Timeline Views: Quickly create time-phased reports using configuration files with minimal development. “Bucketize” data using a Julian Calendar or a Fiscal Calendar, using either fixed or “telescoping” (e.g. 14 days, 4 weeks, 3 months) policies.
User Customization: Many usability affordances, including saved (and shared) favorites, Excel-like configurable grids, configurable dashboards and more.

Horizontally Scalable Transaction Grid Architecture
Increase capacity to meet virtually any demand. One Network’s platform employs a virtual and horizontally scalable architecture to support large complex problem solving and efficient storage and manipulation of huge structured and IoT data sets.
ONE’s Grid Dispatcher architecture breaks large tasks into smaller, independent chunks which can be executed in parallel across many application nodes. This enables unlimited scale, reduces cost, improves responsiveness, and boosts performance.
![Connect ONCE! You don't implement software, you join the Real Time Value Network, onboard quickly and get ROI fast](png/one-connect-to-the-network-600.png)
ONE Connect
Say goodbye to complicated and time-consuming integrations with our federated network and ONE Connect. You connect once to the network and you can begin business with all other parties on the network.

Multi-Level Customizability
ONE’s layered architecture enables customizability at any level while maintaining backward compatibility through public APIs. Developers can use module-defined fields, enterprise-defined fields, user-defined fields, pluggable workflows and pluggable state machines to realize unlimited flexibility with minimal impact to long-term cost-of-ownership.

Save
With traditional technologies you much choose between rigid COTS enterprise applications or building custom systems on bare bones cloud services, often with proprietary languages, from scratch. With COTS applications, one size fits none and you must make expensive modifications that are even more expensive to maintain and extend – hence negating the presumed benefits of COTS altogether. Custom solutions require expensive development effort and then you are stuck maintaining them at high cost. Our Platform technology enables you to build tailored yet supported solutions. We provide rich services, solvers, optimizers, transactions, rich data models, multi party permissions to enable you to solve complex problems. You get the solution fit advantage of custom solutions with the cost economies of COTS – a true best of both worlds.
