Most planners want technology that works faster, but the bigger prize is technology that tells you what to ignore. That is where Neil Marchant lands after 25 years planning for some of the biggest names in consumer goods. Technology’s real job in planning is focus. React to the few things that matter, not every line in a spreadsheet. ▶️ Watch the full video interview with Neil and Benjamin Jones: https://lnkd.in/em_MHtws 📚 Read the article for the top takeaways: https://lnkd.in/eTk9aDhC

Global schedule reliability hit its lowest point since September 2022, and ships that ran late arrived an average of 6.81 days behind schedule. When vessels are arriving almost a week late, planning around the carrier ETA gets expensive. Most operations teams are still working out which dates they can trust, long before automation is on the table. Orchestration projects go wrong when they start with autonomous decisions and AI agents, build them on data nobody fully trusts, and end up making the wrong calls faster. At Moddule we build it up one layer at a time, on top of all the systems that you already run. We start with visibility, our core foundation solution, build trust into the data, and finally deploy autonomy when the gains are clear and measurable. Learn how it works: https://www.moddule.com/

What will the supply chain team look like by 2030? That’s the question we asked enterprise supply chain leaders. Some answers were uncomfortable. Leaders admitted that some of their KPIs are 50 years old and that basic process failures still happen. They were open to AI, on one condition: people keep the final decision. October's Moddule Monthly highlights key insights from the evening, with a link to download the full report. Read it below and subscribe to Moddule Monthly to get each issue directly to your inbox.

You’ve heard the buzz about orchestration in logistics. But what does it actually look like to automate your operations? It’s more than another dashboard offering partial visibility, or an AI agent layered on top of a dated system. Watch our 90-second explainer video to see how Moddule OS sits above the systems you already run, from TMS and WMS to ERP and carrier data, and acts the moment something changes. It amends bookings, re-times deliveries, and sends the decisions that need a person to the right desk, with the full picture attached. Your team decides how much it handles on its own, and that grows as it earns your trust. No rip-and-replace. Not one system acting alone. Your whole operation moving together. That’s orchestration, and that’s the future of logistics.

This week, Moddule brought senior supply chain leaders together at the Royal Automobile Club in London for our first Global Supply Chain Forum. The question of the night: what will the supply chain team of 2030 actually do? The leaders in the room represented a multitude of industries, from retail, food and drink, fashion, automotive and healthcare, yet their hopes and worries for the future of supply chain were remarkably consistent. Leaders want supply chain recognized as a strategic function rather than a cost centre. They're open to AI, but they want to see it proven before it scales, and they want to keep the final say. They want supply chain judged on the value it creates, not just the costs it cuts. Thank you to everyone who joined us and spoke so openly.

There’s a belief that visibility in supply chains has been entirely solved. In theory, it is. The amount of data has increased, as have the technology providers supplying it. But when it comes to how your operations team works day-to-day, and especially when there’s a critical shipment at stake, most operation teams still struggle with inefficiencies. You might find that the process is still surprisingly manual because of the lack of a single, unified view and the trust gap that exists between seeing the data and actually acting on it. If you’re still struggling to get a unified look at your entire operation — without needing to rip out any of the underlying systems that are already working for you — there’s a better way than spreadsheets and manually reconciling conflicting data. Moddule is the agnostic visibility layer that sits above all your existing systems, giving you visibility and improved data quality today while preparing you for orchestration tomorrow. It takes your team from “seeing” to “solved”, freeing up an average of three to four full-time employees’ time to reallocate to more strategic tasks.
