Disruptive technologies, such as AI, in the supply chain are transforming the way they operate to serve businesses and the most demanding customers.

Today the concept of supply chain is becoming increasingly relevant in manufacturing, logistics and retail companies, due to constant commercial and political movements, but also because of consumer demands and the lack of clarity on how technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help on the road to better functioning supply chains and a more prosperous future for your companies. In this blog, we will share Blue Yonder’s vision on how supply chains should be managed; how to unleash the true power of AI; and how to achieve complete synchronization.

A holistic approach to solving supply chain challenges

The above challenges are not insignificant. Customers simultaneously face extremely volatile demand, ever-increasing consumer expectations, changing regulatory requirements and continuous disruptions throughout the supply chain. Disruptions are now the norm, making demand planning and forecasting extremely difficult.

The consequences of miscalculating inventory levels range from delaying production cycles, to jeopardizing availability to the end customer, to generating waste, to undermining both capacity and environmental goals.

For example, in demand planning, if advanced AI algorithms are applied, accurate demand forecasts can be obtained on an unprecedented scale, generating around 20 billion daily predictions through automation, as Blue Yonder’s platform already does. 

However, predictive AI is not limited to demand planning alone, but extends into other areas, such as predicting ETA for visibility and freight risk predictions in transportation management. This breadth and depth of predictive AI enables customers to better anticipate and respond to market fluctuations, with generative AI agents available to identify performance challenges and their impacts, enabling appropriate responses.

This integration is part of Blue Yonder’s unique value proposition, which goes beyond a “one-stop shop” by offering interoperability between traditionally separate domains such as Planning (Demand, Supply, IBP) and Execution (Transportation Management, Warehouse Management, Order Management).

Generative AI: a reinvention of the wheel

As it is logical, generative AI is a topic of great relevance in 2025, and the 10th America Digital AI, Tech & Business Congress Mexico 2025 will be the perfect opportunity to expose views.

Generative AI can be used as an orchestrator to elevate supply chain roles, enabling teams to leverage what we call “infinite intelligence” to make fast, data-driven decisions, while impacting the end customer by achieving greater loyalty and improved profits.

Its successful use and deployment in the supply chain context depends on a data-rich infrastructure, but when the stars align, the results relative to specific business processes, efficiency, productivity, availability, waste and revenue are hugely significant.

Blue Yonder’s end-to-end platform is designed to harness the power of AI to significantly improve all supply chain operations through its focus on end-to-end unification. Generative AI capabilities make it possible to automate complex decision-making processes, generate actionable insights and optimize various aspects of the supply chain.

Just as end-to-end automation has already relieved much of the manual burden on users, these advances allow users to focus even more on tasks that require their business expertise and creativity.
