The challenge
Supply chain planners and procurement teams need to understand changes in demand and supply quickly. However, when disruptions occur, teams must manually search multiple systems, exchange emails, and hold calls to diagnose root causes, leading to delays and inconsistent decision-making.
The solution
- Distyl built an AI-powered system that consolidates and explains demand-driven changes in natural language, reducing the need for manual investigation. By providing instant, standardized root-cause insights, the tool eliminates guesswork, ensures consistent decision-making across teams, and enables planners to focus on resolution rather than diagnosis.
- Distyl's Generative AI platform enabled our client to build an application within a quarter, translating raw data into actionable root cause insights.
