WEBINAR: From Numbers to Strategy: How Finance Drives Data-Driven Supply Chains
Businesses are collecting mountainous amounts of data, but few are using that data to make transformative change. Multiple departments, systems, and processes, often working in siloes with varying tasks, responsibilities, conflicts of interest, create a patchwork of data points. This makes it difficult for finance teams to access and analyze information that gives them both the ‘big picture’ and granular detail. With restricted visibility, effective decision-making across the supply chain becomes a challenge.
It’s time for finance to take a strategic standpoint, to create a more efficient, resilient, and cost-effective supply chain.
Join this session while we cover topics such as :
- The challenges and risks with financial data
- Why data is your single source of truth
- The strategic role of finance in the supply chain
- How to establish a data-driven supply chain

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.
