Blog / Supply Chain Disruption? Meet Pi Agent on Google Agentspace

The global supply chain has fundamentally changed. Once predictable, it now faces ongoing disruption due to the pandemic, geopolitical instability, tariffs, and trade wars. For supply chain leaders, traditional strategies no longer work. What’s needed is a smarter, faster way to redesign supply chain networks—and the answer lies in AI.

What’s at Stake: Over 10% Margin Loss Due to Inefficiencies

Studies from McKinsey, BCG, and Forrester confirm that U.S. companies risk losing 10% or more in margins due to supply chain issues like:

• Excess inventory from demand unpredictability
  
• Lost sales from out-of-stocks and delays
  
• Rising logistics costs due to fuel prices and port congestion
  
• Tariff fluctuations impacting landed costs
• Trade wars disrupting global sourcing and increasing supplier risks

The scale of today’s supply chain problems demands more than optimization—it requires transformation.

What Modern Supply Chains Need to Survive and Thrive

Modern supply chains must be:

• Resilient to absorb shocks
  
• Agile to respond to shifting demand
  
• Visible across the entire value chain
• Efficient through automation and smart planning

To survive and thrive, companies must adopt AI-driven supply chain platforms.
