Microsoft now has an AI tool for supply chain managers

The new era of supply chain management:Microsoft has unveiled an AI tool for supply chain managers that can flag issues that can impact supply chain processes — like weather disruptions or issues with financials — as part of a suite of new AI tools, according to a statement. The tool can flag issues that happen across the logistics supply chain, from inventory to carrier and distribution networks, and help generate predictive insights based on the data, the statement said. Supply chain planners can also choose to have Copilot automatically draft an email to alert any impacted partners.
