The AI supply chain planning software map

49 companies sell AI to supply chain, planning and operations teams. This map shows what each one sells across the five stages of supply chain planning, and 102 dated events since May 2025: 74 product launches, 33 of them agents that do multi-step work or run on their own. Each event links to its source.

We read each company’s own site, press releases and changelogs, and the trade press, between 7 November 2026, and logged what shipped between 1 May 2025 and 7 November 2026. Nothing here is a ranking: a launch count measures how much a company announces, not how good its product is.

Each bar counts the AI product launches we dated to that month. Assistive AI drafts, ranks or suggests when a person asks. An agent completes multi-step work on its own once a person sets it going. Always-on AI runs continuously without being asked. Recent months are better covered than older ones, because a vendor’s newest pages are the easiest to find, so read the trend with care. November 2026 runs to the 7th.

01What we’re seeing

Five things the data shows, from 49 companies and 74 AI launches between May 2025 and early November 2026. Every claim links to its source.

Planning vendors now sell agents that watch the plan

Of the 74 AI launches, 33 (45%) are agents or always-on AI, and 18 companies have shipped at least one. Always-on AI runs without a prompt and watches the plan continuously. OMP's UnisonIQ runs always-on agents, and a person directs them and sets how far they act alone. ToolsGroup's Decion monitors supply chain conditions and executes approved actions within guardrails. A person defines the guardrails and approves actions beyond them. In Logility's Orchestration Center, agents evaluate, decide and execute within guardrails, and a person sets the guardrails and handles escalated cases.

Customers can also build their own agents. Kinaxis launched Maestro Agent Studio, a no-code builder for supply chain teams, in February 2026. OMP added an agent library and studio in November 2026.

Many agents still wait for a person to approve

Most of the agent and always-on launches name the role a person keeps. In many of them, that role is approval. StockIQ's Edison can create purchase orders and adjust planning parameters. The team reviews and approves each action before Edison executes it. At Flieber, a person approves each decision that commits cash. Anaplan's Supply Chain Analyst surfaces risks and opportunities and runs scenarios, and a person approves changes before the agent executes them. Syspro's Torque, in beta, lets the customer choose how much to delegate, from approving every action to letting Torque run trusted workflows.

ERP vendors added planning AI of their own

Planning AI also comes from the ERP. The 11 ERP and MRP vendors on the map made 19 of the 74 AI launches, and 4 of them shipped an agent or always-on launch. Katana now turns sales history into a 12-month demand forecast and a draft purchase or manufacturing order. Epicor added an MRP Log Agent that analyzes MRP output logs, so users can see why MRP made its recommendations. Acumatica's 2026 R2 release added AI agents built from plain instructions, MCP servers for outside AI tools and a new advanced planning and scheduling engine. Infor says its Industry AI agent library passed 100 agents in April 2026. Fulcrum made Builder available to every customer. A customer types what it wants, and Builder makes an app on live data.

Some vendors began running planning math on GPUs

Two planning vendors reported large speedups from NVIDIA's cuOpt solver on GPUs. o9 says cuOpt on B200 GPUs solved a production-representative linear program of about 30 million variables in 57.4 seconds, against 661.7 seconds on a CPU solver. o9 says clients can access it today for linear programs. The mixed-integer solver is still under development. Kinaxis is at an earlier stage, and its result is a preview. In testing on a semiconductor planning model with nearly 50 million decision variables, Kinaxis cut total calculation time by up to 12 times, from more than three hours to about 17 minutes. The release gives no availability date.

Supply, finance and workforce plans are joining up

Kinaxis announced a partnership with Workday in September 2025. The two will combine an AI-enabled, agentic framework across Maestro and Workday Adaptive Planning. Kinaxis says customers see the finance and workforce impact of supply chain events in real time. Anaplan, Board and Pigment, the business planning platforms on this map, also appear on our workforce planning map. Anaplan announced its acquisition of Syrup Tech, an AI-native supply chain platform for retailers and inventory-intensive businesses.

Deals also tied planning to execution. Aptean bought OpsVeda, an AI-powered operations command center, to add an agentic execution layer to Logility's planning software. One suite changed hands. WiseTech Global completed its acquisition of e2open in August 2025, at an enterprise value of $2.1 billion.

05The deals

Every acquisition and funding round we dated in the window, newest first.

06Method and data

Who is on the map. A company earns a row if a business can license its AI to plan demand, supply, inventory or production: demand forecasts, supply and inventory plans, replenishment, material requirements (MRP) and production schedules, sales and operations planning (S&OP), and the decision tools that model a supply chain. The map stops at the plan. Running the plan is left off: transportation and freight, warehouses and fulfillment, and plant-floor systems such as MES, quality and maintenance. Buying from suppliers is on the procurement map. An ERP earns a row only for AI in its planning, inventory or manufacturing modules. A name in a roundup is not a tool: every row rests on the vendor’s own site, or on dated trade press where that site would not open for us, and the data marks those rows as reported. The map covers companies we found, not every company that exists. Corrections and additions are welcome.

One category per company, one row across maps. Each company sits in the category its own headline sells. Suites sell far more than one thing, so the five stage columns and the capability list carry the rest. A company that is already on another Newsprint map keeps that map’s row: its name, site, category, scale and funding come from there, and the row links to it (“Also on”). Anaplan, Board and Pigment come from the workforce planning map. What each row says it sells, its stages, its capabilities and its events are this map’s own.

What counts as an event. A product launch, a funding round, an acquisition, a partnership, a rebrand, a shutdown, or published research, dated between the window’s first and last day. Every event links to a page we opened that prints its date, preferably the vendor’s own release, blog or changelog, otherwise the trade press. No date is inferred. A date marks the first time we saw a capability launch in the window, not the first time the company ever offered it. Some launches were announced before they shipped; those carry a status (announced, preview or beta).

How autonomous a launch is. We label each AI launch from the vendor’s own description of it. Assistive AI drafts, explains or suggests when a person asks. An agent completes multi-step work on its own once a person sets it going, such as rebuilding a replenishment plan or drafting purchase orders. Always-on AI runs without a prompt, such as watching demand and supply for exceptions. Vendors use the word agent loosely; we used it only when the vendor names a step the software completes without a person. Where the page says a company shipped an agent or always-on AI, a launch the vendor has only announced does not count. A launch in beta does.

Who it is built for. Two flags, each set only from the vendor’s own pages: manufacturing (built for companies that make what they sell, with production planning, bills of materials or scheduling) and commerce (built for retailers, distributors or online brands that buy finished goods to resell).

How it was made. Research agents worked one segment each from a written spec and returned structured rows. An editor merged them. A second pass re-opened the source of every event and the headline page of every company, fixed dates and claims that did not hold up, and dropped duplicates, launches with no AI in them, and companies that have shut down or been absorbed. Where a vendor’s own site would not open, we cite a dated copy of its release in the trade press or on a wire service; news aggregators and search summaries do not count. Funding figures come only from the company’s own release or a named report. Nothing here is a ranking: the stage cells show what a company sells, not how well it sells it, and a launch count measures how much a company announces.
