Transforming Integrated Planning & Supply Chain Processes with Augmented Intelligence Capabilities

In conjunction with the announcement, o9 released an eBook titled, “Who Gets the Cheese?”

Aptly named after one of the greatest business books of all time (Who Moved My Cheese?), this resource details one of o9's systems for optimally allocating resources across initiatives and brands at consumer goods companies.

Founded by executives, practitioners and technologists that have led supply chain innovations for nearly three decades, the o9 team has been quietly developing a game-changing Augmented Intelligence (AI) platform for transforming Integrated Planning and Supply Chain processes.

The team has deployed the AI platform with select clients, including:

• Bridgestone Tires
• Asian Paints
• Restoration Hardware
• Party City
• Del Monte
• Aditya Birla Group
• Caterpillar
• Ainsworth Pet Foods

Speaking on behalf of o9 Solutions, Co-founder and CEO Chakri Gottemukkala said, “While executives we work with hear the buzz around technologies for data sensing, analytics, high performance computing, artificial intelligence and automation, they are also living the reality of slow and siloed planning and decision making because the enterprise operates primarily on spreadsheets, email and PowerPoint.”

“We saw the opportunity and are extremely pleased to see how the technology we developed is helping our clients achieve new levels of speed, insight and collaboration in planning and decision making.”

“This platform is truly amazing,” said Sanjiv Sidhu, Chairman and Co-founder of o9 Solutions.

“It models your enterprise's critical knowledge about your customers, markets, demand generation and supply chain operations, and it uses intelligent data sensing, analytics and matching algorithms to help spot risks and opportunities earlier, enabling smarter, better integrated decisions faster as a team.”

“And that translates to more effective utilization of resources - and more profits.”

“Our strategy has been to deliver a platform that can be implemented to deliver value in 30 to 60 days by focusing on one core process and then expanding from there in a rapid iterative fashion. Our clients are extremely appreciative of the speed and agility, as it is not something they have experienced in the planning and supply chain space before,” said o9 Solutions Co-founder and CEO Gottemukkala.
