Vendor Snapshot: SCM Market Leaders
SAP
SAP has accelerated from advisory copilots toward fully autonomous agents embedded across its SCM stack—including SAP IBP, EWM, Transportation Management, and S/4HANA SCM. At Sapphire 2025, SAP unveiled a production-grade agent network powered by its AI Foundation and Joule Studio layered into SAP Business Suite. Agents like maintenance planner, dispatcher, and logistics supervisor can autonomously detect disruptions, enforce sustainability constraints, and trigger cross-domain workflows—from planning to procurement—via declarative, low-code definitions. The roadmap emphasizes conversational interfaces and citizen-developer tools that democratize autonomous supply chain orchestration.
Oracle
Oracle’s Fusion Cloud SCM suite (including Warehouse, Order, Transportation, Inventory, and Planning modules) now includes role-based AI agents as core operational stakeholders. In Release 24D, Oracle introduced fulfillment risk agents, sustainability advisors, policy bots, and maintenance guides that autonomously execute tasks using embedded policy logic, multilingual chat interfaces, and Fusion AI with OCI infrastructure. These agents now handle order orchestration, margin resilience, and compliance workflows end-to-end—with oversight and traceability—reflecting Oracle’s strategic shift toward unified, autonomous SCM operations.
Blue Yonder
Blue Yonder is embedding agentic AI directly into its Cognitive Solutions platform, powered by Snowflake, to deliver operational decisions at machine speed across planning, logistics, inventory, and returns. With its rollout of five domain-specific AI agents (Inventory, Warehouse, Logistics, Network, Shelf Operations), the vendor is automating real-time corrective actions and scenario modeling amid disruption. Sustainability is also built in via carbon‑aware decision support. This agentic-first architecture amplifies human-led planning and extends into low-code usage as business users refine workflows with conversational prompts and agents that act rather than just advise.
E2open
E2open’s transformation into an AI-native trade and logistics platform integrates agentic agents across its supply management, visibility, and compliance suites. Post-acquisition by WiseTech, the platform now includes agents that autonomously interpret unstructured documents, classify goods, manage trade validation, and execute compliance workflows. Its networked data architecture supports a low-code agent builder and conversational trade dashboards, empowering users to define agent roles and orchestrate trade flows across partners with no coding.
WiseTech Global
With its mid‑2025 acquisition of E2open, WiseTech is evolving into a unified agentic trade and logistics operating system using its CargoWise, Microlistics, and optimization platforms. This combined architecture allows autonomous agents to span global transport, visibility, procurement, and compliance. The roadmap includes low-code orchestration interfaces for configuring multi-agent coordination—setting the direction toward intelligent logistics automation across multi-enterprise supply chains.
Manhattan Associates
At Momentum 2025, Manhattan unveiled LLM‑powered agents embedded within its cloud-native Active platform (WMS, Transportation, Supply Chain, Order Management, Inventory, and Scale products). These agents autonomously handle order orchestration, labor planning, fulfillment routing, and demand sensing. The Agent Foundry feature enables citizen developers to configure tailored agents using conversational interfaces and workflow triggers—supporting agile supply chain operations that adapt dynamically to real-world variability.
SPS Commerce
SPS Commerce, operating at the backbone of retail trading networks, is experimenting with AI-driven analytics agents that parse EDI transactions and retail data to automate exception detection, demand forecasting, and inventory insights. While still early in agentic transition, the roadmap now previews conversational dashboards and automated workflows driven by embedded agents that alert, explain, and recommend resolutions, paving a path toward end‑to‑end retail supply chain agents in future releases.
Verizon Connect
Verizon Connect is positioning its Verizon AI Connect platform—running on private 5G infrastructure at logistics hubs like Thames Freeport—as a backbone for agentic logistics orchestration. Though at early stages, its roadmap includes edge-deployed agents for predictive routing, autonomous dispatch, and context-aware route optimization via conversational interfaces for drivers and dispatchers. This vision combines real‑time sensing with agentic decisioning at the network edge to optimize fleet operations end-to-end.
Kinaxis
Kinaxis’s Maestro platform (including Planning One, Demand, Inventory, and Order modules) now houses a unified “Planning.AI Fusion” layer that blends optimization, heuristics, and autonomous re-planning. At Kinexions 2025, Kinaxis announced its new agentic AI framework, built on Databricks, which lets citizen developers create supply chain agents via natural language—such as agents that detect shortages or rebalance supply in seconds rather than hours. This dual human‑AI oversight model reinforces Kinaxis’s focus on proactive, resilient planning.
Descartes Systems Group
Descartes continues to leverage its Global Logistics Network, now used by over 24,000 logistics-intensive businesses globally, to drive AI‑infused insight across transportation, global trade, customs, and compliance workflows. These agents reduce false positives in denied-party lists, automate trade classification, and provide conversational multilingual trade compliance interfaces. Deployed globally, this shift represents a transition from rule-based workflows to agent-assisted trade intelligence that supports seamless, compliant cross-border logistics at scale.
