According to Kumar Anand, Associate Director at QKS Group, “Supply Chain Planning has evolved into a strategic control layer – one that connects demand, supply, finance, and risk in real time. The expectation is not for point solutions anymore, but AI-native platforms that are integrated with the ability to simulate constraints, model trade-offs and provide continuous decision-making at scale. Enterprise buyers have been assessing vendor maturity on not just the feature set but the architecture, interoperability, and the ability to operationalize intelligence across the network. The competitive edge lies with those platforms that embed planning within the business fabric – adaptive, explainable, and built for execution”.

According to Pruthvi Raj, Principal Analyst at QKS Group, “As supply chain planning evolves from static forecasting to intelligent orchestration, enterprises are demanding platforms that are not only agile and autonomous, but also deeply aligned with sustainability goals, data integrity, and user accessibility. The vendors leading this shift are those reimagining SCP as a connected, AI-driven ecosystem - one that empowers every function to plan in real time, adapt to disruption, and drive strategic outcomes across the value chain.”

According to Shivam Gupta, Analyst at QKS Group, “Effective supply chain planning now hinges on integrating real-time data streams, analytical engines, and structured collaboration into a unified platform that balances demand, supply, and financial objectives. Leading solutions provide continuous visibility into key metrics, enable scenario-based decision support, and automate routine adjustments, allowing organizations to identify and address disruptions swiftly, optimize inventory and capacity trade-offs, and maintain resilient operations in dynamic markets.”
