AI-Based Supply Signal Analyses Help Improve Supply Assurance Amid Uncertainty

Cars on production line in factory

E2open Supply Sensing uses real-time signals, artificial intelligence (AI), and market volatilities to predict supply shortages, so you can deliver better service and lower inventory costs.

Easily predict supply chain shortages and act decisively

Supply assurance is in jeopardy

Uncertainty is the new norm

Factory closures, labor shortages, and container delays have become all too frequent today. It seems like constant change is the only constant. That makes predicting supply shortages more difficult than ever, putting organizations in a constant reactive state and leaving many of their customers unsatisfied.

Use real-time data, artificial intelligence, and lead time variances to predict supply shortages and deliver better service.
