Supply chain risk is out there, but Microsoft’s latest software Dynamics 365 Copilot can help
Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 Copilot software unveiled new artificial intelligence capabilities last week that is meant to assist shippers in flagging potential disruptions before they occur. In a wider push by Microsoft to offer AI-powered assistance to businesses, the software can analyze potential risks - including weather - and provide insight to the user.
Microsoft has potential to revolutionize the way supply chain management is done. AI-powered predictive software can help companies optimize their supply chain operations by analyzing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and predicting future demand and supply chain risks. With the help of AI-predictive software, companies can make better and faster decisions related to inventory management, production planning, logistics, and distribution. This can lead to increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved customer satisfaction. For example, AI-predictive software can help companies anticipate disruptions in the supply chain and take proactive measures to mitigate them, ensuring that products are delivered on time and in the right quantity. AI-predictive software can also help companies become more sustainable by reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of their supply chain operations. By analyzing data from suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors, companies can identify opportunities to reduce their carbon footprint and make their supply chains more environmentally friendly.
