• The Technology Gap: Why Supply Chain Execution Still Isn’t Fully Connected Yet

  23-02-2026 14:50 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  Supply chain leaders aren’t debating whether to modernize. They are debating whether their current architecture can support modernization without breaking everything around it.
  That’s the real technology gap.
  It’s not ambition. It’s not budget. It’s architecture.
  Execution systems were built to optimize within domains. Order management. Warehouse management. Transportation management. Each performs well inside its own boundaries. But none were designed to coordinat

• Burger King’s AI “Patty” Moves AI Into Frontline Execution

  26-02-2026 17:45 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  Burger King is piloting an AI assistant called “Patty” inside employee headsets as part of its broader BK Assistant platform. This is not a marketing chatbot. It is an operational system embedded into restaurant execution.
  Patty supports crew members with preparation guidance, monitors equipment status, and analyzes customer interactions for defined service language such as “please” and “thank you.” Managers can query performance metrics tied to service qualit

• AI and Enterprise Software: Is the “SaaSpocalypse” Narrative Overstated?

  26-02-2026 16:11 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  Capital is rotating. Growth has given way to value, and within technology the divergence is increasingly pronounced. While broad indices have stabilized, many software names have not. Since late 2025, software equities have materially underperformed other parts of the technology complex. Forward revenue growth across many mid-cap SaaS firms has slowed from prior expansion levels, net retention rates have edged down in several categories, and valuation multiples have compressed accordingly.

• From Hidden Inventory to Returns Recovery: Exposing Operational Blind Spots

  26-02-2026 12:24 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  The frenzy of peak season has passed, but its effects linger. For many organizations, the weeks following the holiday rush expose deeper inventory blind spots: returns pile up, inventory vanishes into processing limbo, and the hard reality that customer promises made under duress often slip through the cracks. Why does this cycle repeat, and what is really fueling these blind spots?
  To move beyond conjecture, we interviewed more than 215 supply chain executives from North America and Europe, exc

• What A2A Really Means in a Supply Chain Context

  25-02-2026 16:29 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  The Coordination Gap in Modern Supply Chains
  Agent-to-agent communication, or A2A, is beginning to appear in supply chain technology discussions. It is sometimes described as a feature of autonomous systems or as an extension of API integration. That description is incomplete. A2A represents a change in how coordination occurs across the supply chain. It is architectural in nature and affects how decisions move between functions.
  Most supply chains today operate across multiple systems and organ

• US Supreme Court Narrows Emergency Tariff Authority: Strategic Implications for Supply Chain Leaders

  In a 6–3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping global tariffs.
  Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, held that the Constitution assigns tariff authority to Congress and that IEEPA does not clearly authorize the president to impose broad import duties. The ruling invalidates the legal foundation for the administration’s emergency-based &ldquo

• The AI-Powered Operating Layer Has Arrived, and Your Supply Chain Is Where It Starts

  19-02-2026 11:09 via logisticsviewpoints.com
  A year ago, when people talked about AI in supply chain, they mostly meant chatbots that could answer questions about shipment status or generative models summarizing reports. Useful stuff, but incremental. That’s changed fast.
  What’s emerged over the past twelve months is a different class of AI altogether. AI agents can now execute multi-step workflows autonomously, coordinating across systems, making decisions based on real-time data, and acting on those decisions without waiting

  The conversation around AI in supply chain is evolving.
  We have moved beyond proofs of concept and isolated copilots. The central question is no longer whether an agent can summarize a planning report or respond to a transportation exception.
  The real question is this:
  Can AI systems operate across domains, under governance, and at production scale?
  That is not a model question. It is an architectural one.
  A layered approach built around Agent to Agent communication, A2A, and the Model Context
