Infios: 2026 Supply Chains to Prioritize Adaptability and Intelligence

In 2026, global supply chains are entering a new era where persistent disruptions will compel companies to transition from reactive measures to proactive adaptation. Infios experts forecast a strategic shift, moving the focus of supply chains from mere cost efficiency towards modularity, resilience, and intelligence.

Disruptions, stemming from sources such as climate events, geopolitical shifts, and fluctuating consumer demand, are expected to continue. Consequently, corporate success will increasingly be defined by the ability to detect changes rapidly and respond effectively. Eugene Amigud, Infios' Chief Innovation Officer, states that disruption is no longer an exception but the norm, requiring more agile and predictive systems.

The era of lengthy, traditional system implementation projects is drawing to a close. Instead, organizations are favoring modular, composable solutions that facilitate quicker value realization and continuous digital transformation. This approach aims to reduce unused investments and promote ongoing evolution rather than isolated transformations.

Technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), is identified as a crucial enabler, but its value is realized when it serves clear operational objectives. Infios emphasizes that AI should address tangible use cases, such as automating status checks or predicting exceptions, rather than being pursued as a mere trend. Connected and intelligent supply chains, operating seamlessly without silos, will be essential for future competitiveness.
