ID8 | AI IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT 2026 | SENIOR LEADER SURVEY

AI in Supply Chain Management 2026

Senior leader survey

ID8 is preparing a report on how organizations use AI across supply chain management and procurement: where it works, what it delivers, and what is needed to scale it. Your experience will help us test and improve the findings.

The survey has seven questions and takes about 15 minutes. We report responses in aggregate by industry and function unless you allow attribution at the end. Fields marked * are required.

Choose one stage per row. Leave rows blank for functions outside your responsibility.

For example: invoice matching, demand forecasting, supplier risk alerts, freight quoting.
