Frederic Laluyaux shared thisThank you, Florian Selch , for your invitation to discuss the impact of #decisionintelligence in #SupplyChain in The Masters of Supply Chain podcast! Big fan of what you do with your community of Supply Chain thought leaders and practitioners!Frederic Laluyaux shared thisWhat does it take to prove a new category of enterprise technology at scale? In his appearance on The Masters of Supply Chain podcast, Aera Technology CEO Frederic Laluyaux shared with host Florian Selch how the company approached the challenge of building a decision intelligence platform for the real world. Instead of starting small, we deliberately chose to work with the largest global organizations first, proving that decision intelligence could deliver value at the highest levels of scale, complexity, and operational intensity. As Fred explains: “We said, ‘Let's go after the most complex and the largest companies in the world first... to demonstrate that the companies you look up to can actually get value from that technology. So, we went and worked with some of the most advanced companies, and partnered with them to build the technology to where it is today.” By partnering with global leaders across industries, we developed Aera around real operational challenges, enabling organizations to orchestrate complex supply chains while automating decisions at scale. Hear Fred’s full perspective on building decision intelligence for the world’s most complex enterprises. https://lnkd.in/gyM6VJZb #DecisionIntelligence #SupplyChainInnovation #AgenticAI

Frederic Laluyaux liked thisFrederic Laluyaux liked thisCorey Battaglia of GALLO and Harrison Wickman of EY led an in-depth discussion this afternoon at the Aera Technology booth at the 2026 Gartner for Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo. Their conversation focused on how Gallo is building a connected supply chain with agentic decision intelligence, and the takeaways were practical and immediately applicable for the leaders in the room. Some of the best conversations of any conference happen well after the sessions end, though, and tonight we're continuing the dialogue at our networking reception with some of the sharpest minds in supply chain. The energy around agentic decision intelligence is hard to miss. One thing that has stood out so far: the questions have shifted from understanding the value to determining how quickly organizations can put it to work. We'll be back on the floor tomorrow to keep that momentum going. Stop by Booth #423 in Atlantic Hall to see it in action. #GartnerSC #DecisionIntelligence #SupplyChainInnovation
