The Agentic Age
Leading a step-change in supply chain agility, productivity, and resilience
Supply chain leaders face a defining moment. While 2025 brings unprecedented uncertainty – volatile global trade, accelerating AI disruptions, and intense cost pressure – it also presents a pivotal opportunity to harness the transformative power of agentic AI. This isn’t incremental improvement; it’s a fundamental redesign that will separate tomorrow’s leaders from those left behind.
Organizations that fail to act decisively risk being caught flat-footed with inadequate roadmaps falling catastrophically short of their vision. Currently, only 5% of companies deploy agentic AI operationally, yet breakthrough implementations demonstrate extraordinary potential, with adoption projected to reach 20% by year’s end.
Zero100’s research reveals that first-wave AI adopters are embracing an expanded mission that dramatically increases supply chain’s business impact, including significant reductions in supply chain headcount per dollar of revenue. They are making meaningful progress on supply network transparency while infusing material, information, and decision-making flows with greater agility. And now, this same group is growing its lead, powered by agentic reinvention.
It’s tempting to bear down, hide, and ride out periods of mass disruption. Yet it’s this precise moment that calls for bold action. Get on the front foot or miss out on the productivity promise of the agentic age.
