AI is reshaping supply chain operations—but many organizations still struggle to turn insights into action. Citwell and RapidCanvas are hosting a joint webinar to explore how supply chain expertise and AI-native technology can help close the gap between strategy and execution. In this session, we’ll discuss how companies can:
- Combine domain expertise and AI-native technology to build working solutions in weeks, not months
- Define clearer priorities, constraints, trade-offs, and governance
- Move from dashboards and reporting to faster, AI-supported decisions
- Attendees will also view a live demo of how Citwell and RapidCanvas developed a working Control Tower example that turns supply chain methodology into actionable intelligence.
Led by Ray Hsu, Vice President and General Manager at RapidCanvas and Pierre Abou Hamad, Partner and Country Manager at Citwell USA.
