ABI Research Survey Finds 80% of Supply Chain Leaders Plan AI Deployment in 2025
NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Organizations are rapidly exploring and deploying AI-enabled solutions within their supply chain operations. According to a recent survey by global technology intelligence firm ABI Research, over 80% of respondents plan to use some form of AI for applications such as demand forecasting, inventory management, and supply chain network design.
"In most network design and optimization cases, traditional AI or Machine Learning (ML) remains sufficient to run necessary analysis, but Generative AI is beginning to play a role in creating more intuitive interfaces for users to interact with system data," said Ryan Wiggin, Senior Analyst.
To support AI adoption, organizations are increasingly moving their systems to the cloud. Two-thirds of respondents are either in the process of rolling out or have fully implemented public cloud infrastructure for their applications. Private clouds are also receiving interest, but over 60% of respondents remain in the consideration or Proof-of-Concept (PoC) stage.
"Less than half of respondents currently have the capability to perform prescriptive and predictive analytics, highlighting a gap between ambition and readiness. Agentic AI systems are beginning to deliver more predictive insights, but usage remains in the early stages. Data management and model customization will be crucial for organizations to unlock the value of AI agents," concluded Wiggin.
These findings are from ABI Research's Supply Chain Survey 2025: Plans for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use in Supply Chain Software and Supporting Cloud Infrastructure market report. This report is part of the company's Warehousing & Fulfillment research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.

AI Adoption Surges in Supply Chains as Companies Prioritize Network Intelligence
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BizCard, an AI-powered digital business card platform designed for distraction-free, in-person networking, announced that during its recent Product Hunt debut, it was ranked #2 Product of the Week for the first week of January 2026, and #1 Product of the Day on Dec. 29, 2025.
The recognition reflects a broader shift among professionals toward networking tools that prioritize presence, particularly for real-world environments such as conferences, trade shows, and professional meetups.
BizCard combines a physical, E-ink business card with AI-driven profile management, voice-based AI assistance, and intelligent note-taking—allowing professionals to exchange information naturally in person, without phones, QR codes, or app switching.
Rethinking Networking in a Phone-First World
Each year, more than 32,000 expos take place globally, attracting over 60 million unique attendees. Yet despite the scale of in-person events, networking experiences have become increasingly fragmented. Traditional paper business cards are static, wasteful, and difficult to manage. QR-code-based exchanges require participants to unlock phones, navigate apps, and momentarily disengage from face-to-face conversations.
As AI tools become more powerful, in-person interactions have quietly become more distracted.
BizCard was created to address this tension by enabling information exchange without interrupting human presence.
A Distraction-Free Offline Networking Tool
At the core of BizCard's offline experience is a distraction-free E-ink business card, paired with optional NFC-enabled accessories such as wristbands. With a simple tap, users can share their professional profile, links, and notes without unlocking a phone or breaking eye contact.
Profiles can be updated digitally and customized for different events, industries, or audiences, eliminating the need for reprints while keeping the physical interaction intentional and focused.
AI That Works After the Conversation
While BizCard emphasizes screen-free experience at the moment, its platform is powered by AI designed to enhance communication efficiency after the exchange.
After each interaction, BizCard's AI can automatically organize contacts, capture structured conversation notes, generate summaries and reminders, and support personalized follow-up workflows, including voice-based assistance.
By shifting AI-driven capabilities to after the conversation, BizCard allows professionals to stay present during interactions while reducing the administrative burden that typically follows events.
"As AI and automation accelerate, the real challenge is not adding more technology to human interactions, but knowing when to remove it," said Jack Kam, Co-Founder of BizCard. "BizCard is designed to keep in-person moments human, while letting AI handle the work that happens after the conversation."
During its Product Hunt launch, BizCard engaged actively with the global maker and professional community, answering questions about hardware design, product philosophy, and real-world usage at live events.
Early feedback highlighted strong interest from professionals who are seeking more present, human-centered ways to network and follow up meaningfully after in-person interactions.
