When organizations face the critical decision of whether to build or buy AI capabilities, they often weigh the benefits of control and customization against the speed and convenience of ready-to-use options. This dilemma is especially relevant in the enterprise AI landscape, where the right approach can drive digital transformation and sustainable growth.
Building an in-house AI system provides complete control, enabling businesses to tailor every aspect to their specific needs and data assets. However, this approach is resource-intensive, requiring specialized expertise, significant investment, and ongoing maintenance. For many organizations, the costs and complexity of developing their own AI framework are not feasible.
On the other hand, purchasing off-the-shelf AI systems offers a quicker, simpler path. These pre-designed frameworks are ready to deploy and often come with features that simplify integration. However, they may not fully align with an organization’s unique needs, potentially limiting long-term scalability and flexibility.
Planning in a Box – an AI platform – addresses the build vs. buy dilemma by offering a built-in model with ample flexibility for customization. It provides businesses with a strong foundation for AI adoption while allowing them to tailor the solution as their needs evolve. This enterprise AI accelerator empowers companies to harness advanced AI capabilities quickly, with room for future growth.
At the core of Planning in a Box is Pi Agent, genAI assistant. Pi Agent elevates planning from traditional forecasting to proactive, intelligent decision-making. Businesses using Pi Agent gain access to insights 10x faster and more accurately, automating decision-making processes that would otherwise require extensive manual input.
Planning in a Box goes beyond individual AI capabilities by supporting a collaborative, multi-agent approach with specialized AI agents—Ron, Kassy, and Alex—each dedicated to a critical area of supply chain management. Ron, the Demand Agent, forecasts product demand by analyzing sales data and market signals, ensuring that planning aligns with customer needs. Kassy, the Inventory Agent, optimizes inventory levels, making sure the right products are available in the right place at the right time to prevent stockouts and overstocking. Alex, the Financial Agent, tracks the financial impact of supply chain operations, analyzing costs related to inefficiencies, delays, and market fluctuations. Working together, these agents provide a more comprehensive and accurate view of business operations, enabling smarter decision-making and enhanced efficiency.
Planning in a Box redefines how businesses approach the build vs. buy dilemma. By combining speed, scalability, and transparency, it enables companies to adopt AI rapidly, without compromising on customization. With Pi Agent and multi-agent collaboration, businesses can unlock the full potential of their data, driving smarter decisions and sustainable growth.
