Why Now

Supply Chain Teams Need Defensible Communications

The gap between planning speed and communication speed is costing supply chain organizations millions in delayed decisions and misallocated senior talent.

73% of S&OP Cycles Still Run on Spreadsheets

According to Gartner, nearly three-quarters of supply chain planning teams rely on manual spreadsheet processes — creating bottlenecks, errors, and missed deadlines every month.

40–80 Hours Lost Per Month to Deck Prep

Supply chain leaders spend more time building presentations than making decisions. The Presentation Tax on a single monthly S&OP cycle exceeds a full work week of senior talent.

Teams with Automated Planning Are 2.5x More Responsive

Research from McKinsey shows that supply chain organizations using AI-driven planning respond to demand shifts 2.5 times faster than those relying on manual processes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: AI for Supply Chain Planning

How does AI improve supply chain planning?

AI improves supply chain planning by automating the data gathering, reconciliation, and presentation layers that consume most of a planning team's time. Instead of spending 40+ hours per month pulling data from ERP, BI, and SCM systems, AI agents handle extraction and synthesis. This frees planners to focus on exception handling, scenario analysis, and strategic decisions.

What supply chain use cases does Steerco support?

Steerco automates executive presentations across the full supply chain planning spectrum: S&OP cycle decks, monthly demand reviews, supplier QBRs, vendor operational reviews, procurement scorecards, and capacity planning summaries. Any recurring presentation that pulls data from multiple supply chain systems is a candidate for Steerco automation.

Does Steerco replace supply chain planning software?

No. Steerco is not a planning engine — it is the defensible AI workflow layer that sits on top of your existing planning stack. Steerco connects to Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, o9, SAP IBP, and 600+ other sources to gather their outputs and build executive-ready presentations. Your planning tools model and optimize. Steerco presents.

What is The Presentation Tax in supply chain?

The Presentation Tax is the cumulative time supply chain teams spend building slide decks instead of making planning decisions. For a typical mid-market organization, this exceeds 40 hours per month and $300,000 per year in fully loaded labor costs. Steerco eliminates The Presentation Tax by automating the entire deck-building workflow from live data.

How does Steerco connect to our existing supply chain tools?

Steerco connects to 600+ data sources via secure OAuth integrations powered by HotGlue. This includes ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite), supply chain platforms (Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, o9), BI tools (Snowflake, Looker, Tableau), and financial systems. Most supply chain teams connect their full stack in under 10 minutes.

Is Steerco secure enough for supply chain data?

Yes. Steerco is SOC 2 Type II certified with SSO/SAML support, role-based access controls, and end-to-end encryption. Steerco never trains AI models on customer data. All supply chain data remains within your security perimeter and is never shared across tenants. Enterprise organizations can deploy with their existing identity provider.
