Work Smarter: Agentic AI Sets a New Standard for Supply Chain Mastery
Your supply chain is more complex than ever. Between market volatility, partner complexity, and internal silos, you’re fighting an uphill battle every single day.
But what if you could have an intelligent system that thinks, adapts, and acts alongside your team – to do all the things you always wished you could?
That’s exactly what agentic ai for supply chain management delivers.
Your current supply chain challenges
Here’s what supply chain leaders are dealing with right now:
Obstacles inside an organization:
- Incomplete, inconsistent data
- Slow manual handoffs
- Siloed teams
- Outdated processes and systems
Obstacles outside an organization:
- Fast-changing markets
- Weather, politics, and global events
- Growing, complex partner networks
- Rising customer expectations
What makes agentic AI different than traditional automation?
Unlike basic automation that just speeds up pre-defined tasks, agentic AI creates intelligent agents that work together like a virtual team to transform your business processes. Think of them as experienced supply chain coaches who never sleep, never miss details, and can coordinate across your entire operation.
These agents can help you to:
Break down those frustrating silos
Your AI agents connect every team, partner, and process through one unified platform. Finally, everyone can work from the same playbook toward shared goals.
Spot opportunities you're missing
By monitoring your entire value chain, these agents find ways to cut costs, increase productivity, and identify growth opportunities that would otherwise slip through the cracks.
Make informed decisions that consider the whole picture
Instead of optimizing one piece at a time, you can see and act on cross-functional opportunities and problem solving that drive real business impact.
Focus on strategy, not busy work
Instead of optimizing one piece at a time, you can see and act on cross-functional opportunities and problem solving that drive real business impact.
Turn your wishlist into reality
True scenario planning, proactive risk management, real-time coordination – the capabilities you've always wanted are finally within reach.
How agentic AI works in your supply chain
Imagine this scenario: A severe weather event delays one of your key shipments.
With traditional systems, you’d probably find out too late, scramble to figure out the impact, and then manually coordinate a response across multiple teams and systems.
With agentic AI:
An event agent immediately detects the delay
A downstream agent evaluates the impact on customer orders
Another agent triggers inventory reallocation from other warehouses
A final agent updates affected customers with revised delivery estimates
Agentic AI built straight into your supply chain workflows
Here’s what makes e2open’s approach different: our agentic AI isn’t an overlay or add-on. It’s built directly into your supply chain applications, so you get cross-functional intelligence exactly where and when you need it.
Types of AI agents:
Orchestrator agents – A centralized agent that interprets what you need for goal-oriented outcomes and manages complex workflows across multiple systems.
Pre-built agents – Ready-to-use agents loaded with deep supply chain and industry expertise that can help with common, specific, functional tasks.
Custom agents – An agent built for your specific organizational needs. You can use these alone, or alongside pre-built agents. The choice is yours.
Decision-tree agents – Fast, efficient, rule-based agents used for deterministic decision-making.
Types of AI tools:
Agent builder – A no-code, low-interface tool that allows you to design custom agents depending on your business needs.
Digital assistant – An always-available expert that answers your questions and helps users at every skill level become more effective.
