AI doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. In this hands-on panel, supply chain leaders from both the provider and supplier sides share the most straightforward, scalable, and results-driven AI use cases they’ve implemented—without massive overhauls or seven-figure budgets. From predictive demand and supply planning to inventory visibility and order accuracy, these leaders will walk through what’s actually working in real-world settings, how they got internal buy-in, and where they’re heading next.
