This service harnesses the power of 09’s Digital Brain platform as well as its advanced network planning modelling capabilities. Offered as a subscription, the planning-as-a-service offering provides a flexible engagement model that enhances a company’s return on investment in its digital transformation initiatives. This is particularly beneficial as enterprises navigate the challenges of volatile macroeconomic pressures in today’s market.
With Genpact’s deep consulting and process expertise, the planning-as-a-service offering provides end-to-end supply chain and scenario planning.
“Amid mounting market pressures, companies embedding data, technology, and AI to redefine their supply chains will emerge as leaders,” said Katie Stein, Chief Strategy Officer and Global Business Leader, Enterprise Services and Analytics, Genpact. “Our cutting-edge joint offering will provide strategic business value to help clients accelerate their transformation journey and foster agility and meaningful growth in a fast-evolving world.”
New business models and transformation initiatives represent table stakes to compete.

Additionally, 75% say their companies respond by transitioning from traditional linear to autonomous supply networks.
