Transforming E-Commerce: Insights from the K5 Conference Our colleague Sebastian Burgmeier attended the K5 - Future Retail Conference on behalf of paretos and returned with some compelling insights that we’re eager to share. 🔍 Key Takeaways: 1. Market Sentiment: The market is tense for many companies, but there are signs of slow improvement 2. Shift from B2B to D2C: This shift is poised to transform existing business models 3. Competitive Landscape: Temu and SHEIN are seen as serious competitors, yet there’s a limited willingness to tackle innovative issues and build tomorrow’s business models 📈 Insights on Competitive Advantage Sebastian highlighted that SHEIN’s on-demand business model gives them a decisive edge. They significantly reduce overcapacity through small-batch manufacturing, data-driven merchandise planning, and on-demand production. Here’s something many don’t realize: you don’t need a 100+ person engineering team to be data-driven. At paretos, we focus on enabling every company to reduce overcapacity and undercapacity through AI-based demand forecasting and mathematical optimization. 🤝 The Need for Clear Ownership A crucial point that emerged is the need for clear ownership of decision intelligence and data-driven optimization. Who should take responsibility? The E-Commerce department, Merchandise Planning team, IT, or Supply Chain department? The answer: It’s a cross-departmental initiative. We need doers who are ready to take ownership and build the business models of tomorrow today. Let’s take the initiative and shape the future of e-commerce together! A big thank you to Sebastian for bringing back these valuable insights! 🙌 #ECommerce #DecisionIntelligence #AI #DemandForecasting #paretos #K5Conference

🌟 Balancing Supply Chain Cost and Sustainability: A New Era with paretos and PwC 🌟 We are excited to share our latest collaboration with PwC Deutschland, exploring the dynamic interplay between supply chain cost and sustainability. 🌍📈 In the face of changing customer demands and increasing sustainability requirements, businesses are under immense pressure to maintain profitability while incorporating ESG considerations. Together with PwC, we’ve crafted a comprehensive article that addresses these challenges and presents innovative solutions for modern supply chain management. Here are some highlights from the article:   🔍Today’s Supply Chain Challenges: • The complexity of supply chain planning is heightened by the need for sustainable and fairly sourced products. • New legal requirements, such as the EU Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains, add another layer of complexity to the traditional trade-offs of cost, service level, and inventories. 🚀 Modern Optimization Technology: • Leveraging our Decision Intelligence platform, paretos enables businesses to balance traditional supply chain considerations with ESG-related constraints. • Our platform utilizes state-of-the-art AI algorithms, machine learning models, and automated monitoring to provide optimal trade-off planning, supporting decision-making with Multi-Objective Optimization. Together with PwC’s proven transformation approach, we support organizations in integrating ESG factors seamlessly into their supply chain planning, ensuring transparency, visibility, and optimal decision-making. We are grateful to the team at PwC for their collaboration and expertise, especially Marisa Seth, Florian Sämann, and Johannes Splietorp, for their invaluable contributions to this project. ✨ Curious to learn more?

🌟 How is AI Revolutionizing the Supply Chain? Exciting Insights from our colleague Dr. Christoph Andersch! 🌟 Last week, our colleague Christoph attended the event “Is Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizing the Supply Chain?” organized by BVL - Bundesvereinigung Logistik and PwC Germany in Stuttgart. The event was part of the “Ladies in Logistics” series and provided a fantastic platform for discussing the latest developments and challenges in AI-driven supply chain management. 🚀 Here are some of the key learnings Christoph brought back: 1️⃣ Strategic Importance of AI: The significance of AI for supply chain topics and long-term success is increasingly recognized. 2️⃣ Early Stages of Implementation: Many companies are still in the early stages of AI adoption. In many cases, Excel spreadsheets are still used for manual data consolidation and planning decisions. 3️⃣ Business AI vs. Generative AI: There needs to be more discussion about business AI applications – not just generative AI applications – and their successful implementation in the supply chain. 4️⃣ Long-term Success of AI: For AI to be successful in the long term, user acceptance, process adaptation, and ease of use of such solutions are crucial. We thank BVL - Bundesvereinigung Logistik (Martina Weihing, Torsten Mallée, Thomas Scherner, Katja Wiedemann) and PwC Deutschland (Eva Lenz, Anja Eilers, Thomas Schnur, Nele Steigerwald) for organizing and facilitating the great exchange at the event. At paretos, we are proud to be part of these important discussions and to bring our expertise in AI-driven supply chain optimization. Together, we are shaping the future of logistics! 🌍 #SupplyChain #AI #DecisionIntelligence #DataScience #Innovation #paretos
