Today's front-line teams face a growing volume of complex decisions that must be made quickly, with higher stakes for delays or inaction. Traditional planning methods and tools often fall short, lacking real-time data, visibility, intelligence, and automation to streamline workflows and enhance decision-making. With Aera Skills, composable capabilities built on the Aera Decision Cloud that address specific use cases with real-time predictions, decision recommendations and actions, supply chain planners can automate a majority of their operational decisions in the areas of logistics, demand forecasting, inventory, ordering, procurement, finance, and more.
"At PMI, our supply chain planners are part of a critical global team managing more than 25,000 materials across 40+ factories to introduce new products in new markets. This requires tremendous agility and the ability to make fast, accurate decisions and predict the impact of those decisions," said Gualtiero Cerrato, Supply Chain Director at Philip Morris International, a company building its future on replacing cigarettes with smoke-free products that while not risk-free are a better alternative than cigarette smoking, and rapidly transforming its product portfolio. "Aera Decision Cloud is simplifying the life of our planners and the positive user experience has been critical to adoption. We achieved 70% user adoption in the first year of our decision intelligence journey and this is enabling us to scale the technology to more functions across our value chain."
Market leaders are expanding their use of Aera Decision Cloud, unlocking significant benefits for their workforces. A fast-moving consumer goods company reduced planner workloads by 80%andlowered logistics costs while a life sciences leader saved over 40 hours per week by automating key processesthat improved backorder rates.
"Freeing people to do higher-value work is just one example of how we are helping companies operationalize decision intelligence to elevate the human potential and achieve real ROI with AI," said Fred Laluyaux, CEO, Aera Technology. "Aera Decision Cloud is purpose-built for decision intelligence that's actually people-centric, empowering workforces with innovative and intuitive AI technology that is enjoyable to work with and advances new ways of working to unlock greater value."
