Artificial intelligence can be used to quickly gather and analyze massive amounts of data flowing from a large number of sources. As a result, AI in the supply chain is a prime candidate for the tech investments that can move the needle in improving business performance.

There’s no shortage of AI logistics use cases, whether it’s through demand forecasting, enhancing warehouse efficiencies, or improving route planning. In all of these cases, AI in the supply chain can translate to streamlining, predicting, and automating key aspects of logistics operations.
