Every few years, a shift happens in technology that forces industries to rethink how they operate. In the 90s, it was ERP. In the 2000s, it was advanced planning. In the 2010s, machine learning and automation began to take root. Today, the next major shift is already underway—and it’s AGENTIC.
The Agentic AI Supply Chain isn’t a new layer of dashboards or a more advanced planning module. It’s a fundamental rethinking of how execution decisions are made, who makes them, and how quickly they can respond to real-world change. In this new model, each function—demand planning, production, warehousing, transportation—is wrapped with an intelligent agent powered by generative AI. These agents make decisions, execute tasks, and coordinate with one another, creating a living, adaptive supply chain.
