AI IN SUPPLY CHAIN
“The next wave of AI in supply chain planning will be defined by context-aware intelligence”
Emily Nicholls, Vice President of Supply Chain Applications, Anaplan
The success of this type of strategy is already tangible. Walmart’ s recent results, including a 6 % climb in Q3 2025 revenue and a 27 % growth in e-commerce, are a result of its AI-driven agility.“ The mood music coming from the US’ largest retailer continues to be extremely upbeat,” says analyst Neil Saunders of GlobalData.“ Its focus and discipline in execution, especially around AI, set it apart.”
Whether it’ s empowering associates with real-time insights or giving customers the ability to shop conversationally, the fusion of AI, automation and empathy is reshaping how retail works behind the scenes.
The future of supply chain management and consumer experience rests on this delicate balance. supplychaindigital. com 111
