Cutting Supply Chain Planning Time by 70% with AI-Powered Decision Intelligence
Overview
Supply chain decisions are becoming more complex as data volumes grow and business conditions change rapidly. A global technology leader sought to move beyond slow, manual planning and enable real-time, AI-driven decision-making. Applexus partnered with the organization to build a modern data and AI foundation that allows users to interact with their supply chain and receive instant, actionable recommendations.
The Challenge
Planning processes relied on multiple systems, manual analysis, and static reports. Teams needed to evaluate different scenarios, but this took time and often resulted in delayed decisions.
By the time insights were available, conditions had already changed. The business needed a faster, more dynamic way to assess risks, evaluate scenarios, and make decisions.
The Solution
Applexus enabled an AI-powered supply chain platform built on Databricks. The solution combined large language models, optimization engines, and a unified data platform integrating SAP and non-SAP systems.
Users can interact with the system using natural language and receive real-time recommendations. The platform evaluates thousands of scenarios instantly and provides clear guidance for decision-making.
