Logility Announces Publication of “The AI Compass for Supply Chain Leaders,” authored by Piet Buyck

Atlanta, GA - October 1, 2025- Logility, an Aptean company, and a leading provider of AI-first supply chain management solutions, today announced the upcoming release of The AI Compass for Supply Chain Leaders: How Generative, Agentic, and Narrow AI are Reshaping Strategy, Planning, and Execution.

Authored by Piet Buyck, SVP Solution Principal at Logility, the book offers supply chain professionals and executives a practical roadmap to move beyond static, numbers-based planning and adopt a dynamic, insight-driven approach powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

With global supply chains facing unprecedented volatility-from tariffs and geopolitical tensions to shifting consumer preferences and rising costs-traditional planning tools, such as spreadsheets and siloed systems, are failing companies when they need reliable insights most. The insights provided address a void supply chain leaders seek to fill with proven strategies to integrate AI solutions that deliver measurable results into their operations.

The AI Compass for Supply Chain Leaders introduces a bold new approach to supply chain planning where AI systems and human insight work together to drive faster, smarter, and more resilient decisions.

"For decades, planning remained a deeply manual and often painfully analog discipline, even as technology evolved. The challenge was never just about the math; it was about the people, the processes, and the implications of change," said Piet Buyck. "The AI Compass for Supply Chain Leadersis about rethinking how we plan, align, and communicate between systems, departments, and people. This book is for those who want to stop drifting-and start navigating with purpose."

Drawing on extensive research and real-world applications, the book reveals how organizations can thrive in uncertainty by adopting an AI-first strategy. Readers will discover how to:

• Replace outdated number-based planning with real-time digital insights
• Align cross-functional teams through natural language collaboration
• Use AI to sense demand, manage risk, and seize opportunity-before your competitors do
• Build a planning culture that's agile, transparent, and future-ready

For companies that effectively combine AI systems and human expertise, the results can be dramatic, often positioning them to outgrow their competitors'profit margins by 6%, create plans for as little as 30% of the cost, and achieve up to 20% higher forecast accuracy.

"This book is timely and essential; it doesn't just describe the future-it equips you to lead it," writes Nancy Haines, Senior Vice President at Aptean, in the book's foreword. "This is not about replacing human decision-makers. It's about empowering them with tools that speak their language and amplify their impact."
