WEBINAR: Can AI be the Unexpected Ally for Demand Planners?

Today’s ecosystem is fraught with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (vuca) brought on by 2+ years of COVID, the war in Ukraine and multiple socio-political factors. Demand Planners carry the huge responsibility to navigate their organization through these difficult times but are left with traditional tools, starting from the assumption that the past will repeat itself. However, research conducted over the past two years indicate that demand forecasting investments made in AI-based platforms can return up to 6 times greater benefits over investments made in traditional planning systems.

 

This raises a few questions:

Should planners autonomously embrace these new technologies to guide their organization through change?

What changes can AI bring to an organization’s planning environment?

How will it impact demand planning roles, and will humans be able to stay in control?

 

In this webinar, experts from Garvis will discuss this topic together with Robert Byrne, the inventor of “Demand Sensing”. They will bring more clarity to these questions and talk about the potential behind a new generation of AI planning solutions.

How to Solve Three Common Peak Season Challenges

Stories of supply chain disruption have dominated the headlines and confirmed that modern supply chains must be built on a more resilient foundation.

As a result, data accessibility and visibility of supply chain processes have become critical. However, many businesses remain stuck in a maze of outdated legacy systems and siloed information. As we move from a linear supply chain model to a more dynamic, digital, and collaborative model, shouldn’t your data framework act in the same way?
