The 2025 Gartner report on supply chain technology trends confirms a major shift: organizations are embracing intelligent simulation as a strategic necessity. As supply chains face rising complexity and volatility, simulation enables leaders to move from reactive decisions to proactive scenario planning and system-level optimization.
Gartner predicts that by 2028, 15% of logistics and manufacturing companies will embed intelligent simulation in operations. Technologies like agentic AI, autonomous data collection, and decision intelligence all depend on dynamic models to deliver real value. Simulation provides that foundation.
Cosmo Tech is already delivering this future. Our AI-Simulation platform helps organizations model entire supply chains, test strategies under uncertainty, and align investments with real-world constraints. Simulation isn’t a trend—it’s the control tower for navigating complexity. Download the Gartner report to see why forward-looking companies are investing in this critical capability now.
Gartner’s 2025 report on Top Trends in Supply Chain Technology delivers a clear message: the future of supply chain management lies in being not just digital, but intelligent, adaptive, and simulation-driven.
Across industries, leaders are grappling with complex, fast-changing environments. Traditional tools—focused on visibility and reporting—are no longer enough. Gartner outlines a fundamental shift toward systems that can simulate, predict, and respond in real time.
From agentic AI to decision intelligence, the most disruptive trends all converge around one core capability:
intelligent simulation.
By 2028, 15% of logistics and manufacturing organizations will embed intelligent simulation into daily operations. These simulations blend AI, machine learning, and analytics into traditional modeling, allowing companies to test “what-if” scenarios, evaluate alternatives, and adapt strategies before committing resources. Whether it’s optimizing warehouse design, anticipating transportation delays, or evaluating the ROI of capital investments, simulation empowers organizations to move from reactive decision-making to proactive orchestration.
This is exactly the advantage Cosmo Tech delivers. Our AI-Simulation platform builds holistic digital twins of complex systems—factories, logistics networks, or global supply chains—and uses them to explore thousands of possible futures. That means companies can go beyond monitoring disruptions and actually prepare for them. The goal isn’t just resilience—it’s readiness.
Other top trends in the Gartner report, like augmented connected workforces, ambient invisible intelligence, and autonomous data collection, gain real power when backed by simulation. Agentic AI, for example, needs environments to learn and act within. Decision intelligence relies on modeled outcomes, not assumptions. These capabilities flourish when grounded in dynamic, simulation-based frameworks.
As digital transformation accelerates, companies that combine data, intelligence, and simulation will be the ones that thrive. Simulation is no longer a future-looking experiment—it’s the infrastructure for better decisions, faster adaptation, and smarter growth today.
