C.H. Robinson Unveils Agentic Supply Chain

C.H. Robinson launched Agentic Supply Chain, an intelligent ecosystem that continuously thinks, learns, adapts and acts by understanding context, making decisions in real time and self-optimizing global supply chains at scale. 

“Companies in every industry are under increasing pressure to employ AI or get left behind,” says Arun Rajan, chief strategy and innovation officer. “But many are uncertain where to start or how to invest. There’s no better place to start than your supply chain. With even the most sophisticated shippers, we see supply chains hindered by slow manual processes, disconnected systems and untapped data that AI could turn into action. Plug into C.H. Robinson and your supply chain immediately becomes an Agentic Supply Chain.”
