All Dataleo news, jobs, analyses and tutorials around ERP in Supply Chain and Operations.
The role is relevant to roadmap ownership, integration, data governance and translating planner needs into controlled enterprise capabilities.
The role is relevant to IBP architecture, master-data ownership and the boundary between advisory design and governed system implementation.
The role is relevant to materials availability, planning ownership, master-data quality and the link between production plans and execution.
The role is relevant to the operating boundary between planning models and execution, where scheduling rules, master data and manual overrides must be governed.
The role is relevant to parameter ownership, material availability, planning discipline and alignment between ERP data and operational decisions.
This job is a strong market signal for AI in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Planning. Sanofi is not only hiring for generic digital product management; it is looking for a Product Owner able to orchestrate AI agents inside real industrial workflows, across planning, operations, quality and performance.
The most interesting element is the blend of AI Agents, industrial systems and governance. In practice, this is the profile many large manufacturers will need: someone who understands the decision architecture between ERP, MES, QMS, planning tools and AI copilots, while remaining accountable for adoption, value and compliance.
MediumMediumMediumMediumHighHighHighHighMediumAGR published a comparison of inventory-planning platforms including RELEX, Slimstock, EazyStock and Netstock. The article reflects growing demand for dedicated forecasting, replenishment and inventory-optimization capabilities beyond spreadsheets and standard ERP functionality.
HighCognite has launched an AI-powered Integrated Supply Chain offering designed to connect production, procurement, distribution, logistics and execution. The offer combines industrial data contextualization, connectors to ERP, WMS, TMS and planning systems, semantic models and AI agents that can assess operational constraints in real time.
The announcement extends Cognite’s industrial AI positioning beyond plant operations into end-to-end supply chain decision support. Deloitte and FourKites are involved in the broader ecosystem, reinforcing the link between industrial data, logistics visibility and operational execution.
The value proposition is a more connected view of trade-offs across production performance, supplier commitments, inventory, logistics and customer service, rather than isolated optimization within each function.
This is relevant for Supply Chain AI because it points to a governed decision layer between operational data, planning platforms and execution systems. The critical issue will be ownership of semantic models, shared definitions and trade-off logic across OEE, OTIF, inventory and service.
Before scaling, companies should define which decisions agents may influence, how recommendations are validated and how data lineage is preserved across ERP, WMS, TMS and industrial systems.
HighSAP is positioning Joule Agents and Joule Assistants as context-aware AI capabilities for Supply Chain Management. The company describes these assistants as tools designed to understand business context and accelerate outcomes across logistics, manufacturing, product design, planning, and asset service workflows.
The SAP page highlights several supply chain-focused capabilities, including Logistics Assistant, Manufacturing Assistant, Product Design Assistant, Planning Assistant, and Asset & Service Assistant. This reflects SAP’s broader move to embed AI Agents directly into enterprise workflows rather than treating AI as a separate productivity layer.
More details are available on the official SAP page.
This is an important signal for Supply Chain Planning and enterprise operations teams because it confirms that the AI assistant layer is moving inside core business applications. SAP is not only promoting generic AI productivity; it is connecting Joule to operational domains where decisions depend on ERP data, process context, and business rules.
For supply chain companies, the practical question is how these agents will interact with existing planning architectures, including SAP IBP, ERP workflows, logistics systems, manufacturing execution, and asset management. The opportunity is faster analysis and better decision support; the risk is uncontrolled automation without clear AI Governance, permissions, and human-in-the-loop validation.
HighSAP has introduced its Autonomous Enterprise vision and a governed Business AI Platform. The strategy connects agents, business applications and enterprise data to automate workflows while maintaining enterprise controls.
The relevant test for supply-chain teams is whether autonomy remains bounded by decision rights, data lineage, validation and manual override across ERP and planning processes.
HighDENSO is moving global supply-chain operations to Oracle Fusion Applications to improve data accuracy, decision speed and access to embedded AI capabilities. The transformation aims to create a more consistent operating foundation across regions and functions.
LowLisa Anderson was named among the Top 50 Manufacturing Thought Leaders for 2026, recognizing her work across manufacturing, ERP, S&OP, resilience and operational transformation.
HighInfor and Kinaxis launched Kinaxis Planning One for Infor CloudSuites, bringing advanced concurrent planning capabilities to discrete manufacturers seeking greater visibility and agility.
