As my client explains that they are delaying their project to build network interoperability due to complications with their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) upgrade, I tap my foot and sigh.

Getting started with AI in supply chain might not start where you think. Some try delving into deep learning or a crash course in generative AI (GenAI), but I don’t recommend starting there. Instead start with the foundation of your AI strategy, which should be an understanding of your company’s supply chain and your data. Second, avoid islands of isolation and limited impact by integrated AI into your supply chain so the results are aligned end to end.

That’s why there is a growing tension between data availability and data protection. Data will not disappear as a result of the enactment of privacy laws and regulations; however, privacy laws and regulations do make the collection, storage, and analysis of data more complicated.

In real estate, the mantra is “location, location, location.” In the finance world, we often hear that “cash is king.” But as a marketer in the supply chain sector, my experience is that there is a different mantra and another king, and that’s data. Data has emerged as the cornerstone of effective decision-making.
