Customers just want to know where their stuff is and when they’ll get it. But your business demands more. An intelligent control goes beyond visibility-driven approaches to add a layer of strategic thinking, orchestration, workflow processing and optimization to address much more specific and business-critical questions, from “how to protect margins” or “how to prevent out-of-stocks and maintain service levels” to “how best to deliver against ever-changing customer expectations.” It’s about constantly uncovering better business practices and shopper experiences. 

How does a digital brain work?

A digital brain can answer these challenges by sitting above existing systems where it can spot and solve role-based use cases by:

• Continuously sensing and understanding in real time
• Providing end-to-end visibility​
• Leveraging artificial intelligence and optimization models to predict business outcomes
• Proactively engaging decision-makers and recommending specific actions
• Automating particular use cases and scenarios to run autonomously
