What "automating supply chain planning with AI" actually means
Automating supply chain planning with AI is not a single product you buy. It is a workflow you redesign around AI as the operating layer. The agent handles the high-volume, high-structure tasks. Humans handle edge cases, exceptions, and trust-sensitive decisions. The system is instrumented to measure forecast accuracy, inventory turns, service level, and expedited cost and improve weekly.
What changes by industry is the systems the agent integrates with, the data it retrieves over, the controls it operates under, and the KPIs it has to defend. The architecture is similar; the integration and the controls are different.
The architecture we use for AI supply chain planning
- Frontier LLM — Claude, GPT-4-class, or Gemini. We benchmark candidates on a labelled test set during Discovery.
- Retrieval layer over your approved internal sources, with source citations on every output.
- Tool use for reads and writes against your operational stack (CRM, ERP, ticketing, data warehouse).
- Reviewer queue for low-confidence outputs. Confidence thresholds set per workflow.
- Evaluation harness — labelled test set, weekly accuracy reports, regression alerts.
- Versioned prompts and reviewer-action audit logs for traceability.

Frequently asked questions
How do you automate supply chain planning with AI?+
We map your existing supply chain planning workflow, identify high-volume and high-structure tasks, build an AI agent that handles those tasks, and route low-confidence cases to a human reviewer. The build connects to the systems your industry already runs on, runs against a labelled test set, and ships behind a reviewer queue before it sees production traffic. We measure forecast accuracy, inventory turns, service level, and expedited cost from day one and improve weekly.
What is the best AI agent for supply chain planning?+
There is no single off-the-shelf "best" agent for supply chain planning — the right architecture depends on the systems and data of your industry. We typically combine a frontier LLM (Claude, GPT-4-class, or Gemini) with a retrieval layer over your approved sources, tool-use for your stack, and a reviewer queue. We benchmark candidates against a labelled test set during Discovery and pick the model with the best accuracy/cost ratio.
What does AI supply chain planning cost?+
Three phases, billed separately. Discovery sprint: $6k. Build engagement: $20k–$28k. Run retainer: $2.5k–$4k / mo. ~$32k–$58k typical year 1 (60% take the run option for ~6 months). Pricing varies slightly by industry — see the industry-specific pages below.
How long does it take to deploy AI supply chain planning?+
Thin-slice in production in ~6 weeks after Discovery, full Build phase over 6-10 weeks. By day 90, forecast accuracy, inventory turns, service level, and expedited cost is instrumented and you have a baseline against which to expand to adjacent workflows.
Which industries do you build AI supply chain planning for?+
All 42 industries listed below. Each industry has its own scoped engagement page with industry-specific systems, controls, and KPIs. Common starting industries include Airlines, Airports, Hotels, Travel Agencies, Banking, and others.
What do we own, and what do you own?+
We own workflow design, prompts, retrieval architecture, evaluation harness, and weekly improvement. You own data access, policy, exception approval, and final commercial decisions. At the end of the engagement, every prompt, eval, and config is handed over — no lock-in.
