AI in Logistics: 78% of Supply Chain Leaders Are Moving Without a Plan


New research on 215 supply chain leaders reveals 78% have no documented AI plan. Get the data and the five-question framework.

AI capabilities aren’t proof of vendor innovation. Here’s our take on evaluating AI in a logistics technology selection, and what to demand from vendors as proof.

We recently asked 215 supply chain leaders about their AI initiatives. We found that only 7% set a baseline, 11% set success criteria, 3% check results afterward. Here’s what a defensible ROI case requires.

Why do AI pilots fail in supply chain? New survey data from 215 supply chain leaders points to a root cause: no business case, no governance, no accountable owner.

WMS implementation failure usually traces back to five questions nobody asked. Brian Carlson of Cornerstone Edge explores what separates the projects that work from the ones that need rescuing.

Read enough industry coverage right now and autonomous AI sounds like a settled outcome: robots in warehouses, agents running freight networks, a shrinking workforce to match. For most shippers today, that isn’t the operating reality, and nothing in the current generation of tools points to it becoming the reality next year either.

When an intelligent capability influences a technology decision, its requirements matter as much as its functionality.

Ask anyone who’s run a warehouse for the last twenty years and they’ll tell you the job used to be simpler. Receive inventory. Pick orders. Ship them out. The systems supporting that work matched the simplicity of the work itself. That era is over, and it isn’t coming back.
