How ketteQ Is Leading the Adaptive Supply Chain Planning Revolution

Supply chain planning has long been stuck in a cycle of sameness and incrementalism. Companies swap out legacy systems for newer ones that promise improvement but deliver only incremental gains. The core issues remain: rigid architectures, reactive workflows, and planning systems built for a world that no longer exists.

At ketteQ, we didn't just recognize the problem; we lived it. And we knew there had to be a better way.

From Experience to Epiphany

Before founding ketteQ, I led Genpact's global supply chain practice and served as President of Barkawi North America. Alongside Chris Amet, ketteQ CTO, and other founding team members, we implemented hundreds of traditional planning systems across CPG, high tech, and life sciences.

What we saw was consistent: companies struggling with brittle logic, manual workarounds, high costs, and limited value. These systems weren't failing because businesses lacked expertise but because they couldn't adapt.

That experience led to an epiphany. We didn't want to build yet another planning tool. We wanted to flip the script and create something fundamentally different. We made it our mission to develop an AI-powered planning system built to meet today's challenges.

So we started fresh with a bold vision and a breakthrough agentic AI solver we now call PolymatiQ™.

PolymatiQ™: The World's Only Agentic AI Engine for Supply Chain Planning

At the heart of ketteQ is PolymatiQ™, the world's only agentic AI solver engine purpose-built for supply chain planning, determines the best question in thousands of scenarios, adapts to changing inputs, and proactively recommends actions. It doesn't just answer the question; it determines the best question. It's autonomous, goal-driven, and always learning. 

PolymatiQ™ transforms planning from a one-time exercise into a continuous, intelligent, and strategic capability in a world where constant volatility is a game-changer for resilience and performance. 

Built for a Simpler Time

Legacy systems and manual spreadsheet-based planning processes were designed for stability, not disruption. But today's supply chains face constant volatility: port strikes, tariffs, geopolitical risk, labor shortages, and natural disasters. These aren't edge cases; they're the new normal.

And those old systems? They weren't built for this. Planning must evolve. It must become adaptive. That's why we built ketteQ—and why PolymatiQ™ exists.

Built for Change, Built for Now

Flipping the script means more than just better UI. It means rethinking how planning is done:

• From Single-Pass to Multi-Pass: PolymatiQ™ runs thousands of scenarios to present a range of options—each tied to a business goal and confidence score.

• From Siloed to Connected: Built natively on Salesforce, ketteQ connects planning with sales, service, and finance for real-time collaboration.

• From Reactive to Proactive: PolymatiQ™ anticipates disruptions and surfaces actionable strategies before issues escalate.

It also works with your existing tech stack—no rip-and-replace required. ketteQ delivers real business value in months, not years.

Proven by Industry Leaders

Companies like Johnson Controls, NCR Voyix, Coca-Cola, Carrier, and Alliance Consumer Group are leading the way with ketteQ's adaptive planning approach. The results speak for themselves:

• Increased forecast accuracy

• More reliable promise dates

• Improved supply chain resilience

• Agile, informed decision-making

• Stronger cross-functional alignment

These aren't isolated wins. They're part of a broader shift across industries and worldwide where responsible and innovative companies choose resilience, adaptability, and speed over complexity and constraint. And ketteQ is at the center of that transformation. 

Why Now?

Doing things the old way is no longer slow; it's risky. Planning that once happened quarterly now needs to happen daily, even hourly. Most systems can't keep up.

Today's supply chains need systems that think, learn, and act at machine speed with human context. That's what PolymatiQ™ delivers: the intelligence to adapt and the confidence to act.

The Takeaway: The Time for Adaptive Is Now

Legacy systems weren't built for the pace of today's supply chains. They weren't built to flex. And they weren't built to last.

At ketteQ, we're not applying bandages to broken models. We're building something new—a platform that adapts, evolves, and delivers real-world business outcomes. 

PolymatiQ™ isn't just another AI engine. It's the world's first agentic AI solver for supply chain planning, and it's flipping the script. 

The companies that embrace this shift will be the ones leading tomorrow's supply chains.
