Near-Term Updates and Roadmap (2026–2027)

Updates

Recent investments in Supply Chain Management show a clear shift toward AI-driven planning, automation at execution points, and tighter commercial and regulatory control. Collectively, these updates prioritize decision quality and operational resilience over incremental feature expansion.

Roadmap

A central theme for the future of SCM is the deeper use of AI-based analytics in demand planning. The analytic features provide generative insights and expanded forecasting models that move planning from static historical analysis to adaptive, signal-aware forecasting. Key is the way they incorporate external factors such as inflation and weather, allowing organizations to better anticipate volatility and improve forecasts.
