Digital transformation in supply chain planning is no longer a future ambition. For many organizations, it is an active response to disruption, uncertainty, and rising expectations across the supply chain.
In this partner testimonial video, Darya Basarhina from Valantic, a consulting company focused on end‑to‑end digital transformation, shares how her team helps organizations navigate this shift. From strategy through execution, Valantic works with customers to create a clear path forward as planning, data, and technology continue to evolve.
“Technology and humans will work in the future hand in hand together… AI will take on the boring and repetitive tasks, while controlling and assertive tasks stay with people.”

The challenge: navigating digital transformation in modern supply chain planning
Supply chain planners are operating in a period of sustained disruption. According to Valantic, uncertainty is reshaping how planning teams work and what tools they rely on.
Traditional planning methods, including heavy dependence on spreadsheets, are increasingly misaligned with the complexity planners face. At the same time, organizations are being pushed to address broader challenges that extend beyond planning accuracy, including:
Greater expectations for supply chain transparency
Increased focus on carbon footprint and sustainability
More stringent governmental and compliance requirements
Ongoing questions about how AI will influence planning roles and decisions
As Darya explains in the video, none of these pressures exist in isolation. Together, they demand better data quality, more connected processes, and a clearer path forward for how humans and technology work together.
How Valantic approaches supply chain planning transformation
Valantic approaches digital transformation by helping customers connect strategy to execution. Rather than focusing on tools in isolation, the firm works with organizations to define a clear direction and then supports them through the transformation process.
A key part of this approach is preparing planning teams for change. Darya highlights how the role of planners is evolving as AI becomes more prominent. The goal is not to replace human decision‑making, but to shift repetitive and manual work to technology, so planners can focus on control, oversight, and more assertive tasks.
The role of technology and partnership in digital transformation
Partnership plays a critical role in this digital transformation model.
In the video, Darya explains why Valantic was drawn to collaborate with e2open, citing alignment in culture, execution excellence, and shared focus on demand and production planning.
Together, e2open and Valantic aim to create more value for customers by combining consulting expertise with connected planning and supply chain technology. This collaboration supports customers as they rethink demand planning, production planning, and how decisions are made across the supply chain.
Results and business impact: preparing supply chains for the future
The video highlights several areas where organizations are seeing meaningful impact as a result of digital transformation efforts, which include:
A clearer path from strategy to execution
Stronger focus on data quality and transparency across the supply chain
Increased readiness to adapt as AI capabilities evolve
Better alignment between sustainability, compliance, and planning decisions
As Darya notes, these topics are not temporary trends. They will remain central to how supply chains operate and evolve in the coming years.
Looking ahead: the future of AI and human-led supply chain planning
Digital transformation in supply chain planning is still unfolding. For Valantic, the focus remains on helping organizations move forward with clarity, strong execution, and the right balance between technology and human expertise.
Through the partnership with e2open, Valantic continues to explore how connected planning, better data, and collaboration can help organizations navigate uncertainty and prepare for the future.
