Supply chain modernization for faster business change

Systems supporting supply chain operations tend to become increasingly complex after years of ongoing use and enhancement. At the same time, responding to changing business environments requires the ability to produce personalized products tailored to customer preferences within shorter timeframes and through high-mix, low-volume production models. What is needed is not simply modernization. Organizations need a system foundation that can continuously and rapidly adapt by incorporating changing business requirements and requests from customers and ecosystem partners in a timely manner.

Wayfinders helps define the future business model while taking existing operations into account. Based on this vision, data, application, and infrastructure architectures are redesigned to support greater business agility. At the same time, an approach that maximizes the use of existing assets helps address accumulated technical debt efficiently. Development processes are transformed through CI/CD practices, and AI-driven development capabilities are embedded into the delivery lifecycle, significantly shortening development cycles and accelerating the implementation of business change.

By applying AI to labor-intensive testing activities, which often account for nearly half of system enhancement efforts, and fully automating them through CI/CD-based processes, some organizations have achieved approximately 30% improvements in development and maintenance productivity within these activities. In addition, API-enabling high-change areas such as user interfaces and integrations with internal and external systems helps localize the impact of changes on core functionality. In some cases, this has reduced development timelines by approximately 20% compared with typical enhancement cycles. As the scope of AI adoption continues to expand, further productivity improvements and shorter response times can be expected.
