Logility Reimagines Supply Chain Execution with New AI-First Solutions

AI-native software applications will optimize and automate order allocation and empower organizations to proactively flex their supply chain network.

Logility, a leader in AI-first supply chain management software, today announced two AI-native capabilities that will reimagine the way supply chain execution gets done. The first is Intelligent Order Response, an automated order allocation and optimization software application that uses AI to actively scan for and resolve demand-supply imbalances. The second is the next phase of enhancement for Logility’s Continuous Network Optimization capability, which will be expanded to provide AI-powered recommendations for incremental supply chain network adjustments and automate the realignment of the operating model. Both are scheduled to be generally available in the Spring of 2025.

As the newest addition to the Logility Decision Intelligence Platform, Intelligent Order Response applies an AI-first approach to automate and optimize order fulfillment based on near-term business goals. Eliminating rigid allocation rules and manual processes, it is designed to intelligently allocate available supply of on-hand and incoming inventory to satisfy demand within a defined business window and in accordance with defined business goals. As a result, organizations have an opportunity to optimize business outcomes while also lowering costly expedited logistics fees and supply chain fines, as well as improving customer satisfaction.

"At Logility, we’re committed to revolutionizing supply chain management with cutting-edge, AI-first solutions,” said Allan Dow, President and CEO of Logility. “Intelligent Order Response and the continued enhancement of Continuous Network Optimization reflect this commitment by addressing long-standing challenges in new and innovative ways. Traditional, manual, and subjective processes are giving way to strategies that democratize information, elevate human decision making, and allow organizations to rapidly build competitive advantage. We’re proud to help our clients transition from a “what happened” view of the world to one that focuses on what’s coming.”

Intelligent Order Response helps organizations overcome supply chain volatility with:

  • Intelligent Matching: Use of AI to automate the alignment of demand with supply and inventory to optimize the achievement of business outcomes.
  • AI-First Allocation Ranking and Resolution: Designed to leverage advanced optimization algorithms for high-speed, accurate outcomes.
  • Accelerated Insights: Empowers decision-makers with conversational UX, guided workflow, and prescriptive decision recommendations.
  • Continuous Monitoring and Optimization: Designed to actively scan for imbalances and suggest corrective actions with alerts and notifications.
  • Flexible Decision Support: Offers prescriptive guidance designed to optimize against varying business objectives with the option for manual overrides.

With Logility’s Continuous Network Optimization capability, companies can optimize their network design and flows as frequently as needed to improve supply chain execution. Serving as an “oil change” light for an organization’s network, the application is designed to continuously monitor network conditions and surface alerts when adjustments are needed to achieve defined business outcomes. Unlike traditional network design initiatives, which often take months or years, Continuous Network Optimization is designed to use AI to proactively and continuously identify incremental changes to optimize results. Users can accept or decline recommendations and use automation capabilities to execute the changes.
