Supply Chain AI Lab

Launch your first AI pilot on a real supply chain use case.

A hands-on, done-with-you engagement for supply chain leaders who want their first AI project to create capability, not dependency.

We help your team select one high-value operational problem, build a working AI prototype around your own data and processes, and decide what to scale.

Limited to 2-3 companies per year to keep every pilot senior-led and hands-on.
Why first AI projects fail

Most teams don't lack ambition. They lack a way to start that actually works.

Waiting for AI to "mature"

Leading supply chains already run AI in production. Waiting only widens the gap.

Delegating it to IT or vendors

Without business ownership, pilots stall and never reach the operation.

Trusting ERP "AI modules" blindly

Most AI promises collapse without data, process and adoption foundations.

Starting with tools, not problems

Tool-driven AI leads to complexity, disappointment and sunk cost.

No way to judge what's real

Decisions become buzzword-driven and disconnected from operational reality.

Pilots that never reach value

Demos impress, but service level and inventory never actually move.

The approach

Introducing the Supply Chain AI Lab.

A deliberate first step into AI, not a leap. Inside the Lab, we explore, prototype and pressure-test one real use case from your supply chain, alongside your team. You move from speculation to evidence, and decide what comes next from a position of proof, not hype.

What the Lab is
You walk away with a working prototype, real evidence on your own data, and the clarity to decide your next move with confidence, and the capability stays with your team.
What you'll achieve

Five concrete outcomes from your first engagement.

Build your first prototype

Go from idea to a working pilot on a real use case in weeks, not quarters.

Make your first tech choice

Decide build vs. buy vs. ERP module with a structured, vendor-neutral framework.

See your first real result

Put one use case to the test and get hard evidence on a real KPI, like service level, inventory or productivity, instead of opinions.

Demystify AI for your team

Separate real AI from buzzwords so your people judge use cases with confidence.

Pilot & steer AI

Learn to measure and govern AI in your supply chain, control, not technical mastery.

Ready to put a real use case on the table?
The AI success equation

AI value doesn't come from tools. It comes from alignment.

Weak in any single pillar, and the whole equation collapses. Our job is to help you align all four.

Data

Clean, accessible, trustworthy foundations.

Process

Clear, stable processes AI can support.

Model

The right model matched to the real problem.

Adoption

Teams that trust, use and steer the output.

AI Success

On the right workflow, AI can multiply execution speed. The Lab is designed to identify where that leverage is real, measurable, and worth scaling.

Included for every participant

The full AI Supply Chain Program™, bundled in.

While we build your project, your whole team follows our 7-module course, so everyone shares the same functional understanding of what AI can and cannot do in the supply chain.

How it works

A done-with-you path from idea to first win.

STEP 01

Apply & scope

A first call to qualify the project and pick a high-value use case.

STEP 02

Readiness diagnosis

We assess your data, process, model and adoption readiness.

STEP 03

Prototype sprint

We build the first prototype with your team, hands-on.

STEP 04

Technology decision

We help you choose what to scale: build, buy, or ERP.

STEP 05

First win & handover

You land a measurable result and keep the know-how in-house.

Who it's for

Built for B2B supply chain teams ready to explore AI on real use cases.

Not another proof-of-concept graveyard; a first real result, with the capability staying inside your organization.

Supply chain & ops leaders

launching their first AI initiative.

Teams under pressure

to “do something with AI” without a clear plan.

Companies wanting results

not yet another demo that never ships.

Organizations

that want the AI capability to stay in-house.

Why ABC Supply Chain

Automation is at the core of how we work.

It’s the heart of the AbcSupplyChain AI methodology, and the way we deliver today. With 15+ years of experience across tech and the supply chain, our approach has always been centered on optimization: mobile applications, big data, blockchain, machine learning and BI in live operations. Today that same discipline runs on embedded AI, so your first project is guided by people who do this every day.

Engineering heritage

15+ years of optimization-first delivery.

Under the hood

The stack we build your pilot on.

We meet your data and tools where they already are, then add the AI layer on top, combined with cross-functional supply chain knowledge, so what we build is practical, not theoretical. No rip-and-replace: we work with the platforms your team already runs.

15+ years of supply chain expertise, across every function.

It’s what makes the tools we build practical, automated and effective, not clever demos, but things your operation actually uses.

We doubled our project productivity from 2020 to 2024 with conversational agents, and agentic automation is delivering another ×5 today. A tenfold jump in how fast we turn an idea into a working AI prototype with your team.

We’ve been working with global brands since 2017

Take your first real step into AI.

We run the Lab with just 2-3 companies a year, so every pilot stays genuinely hands-on.
We hand you a real prototype and the proof to decide what comes next.
