Beyond the Control Tower: Orchestrating Food and Beverage Supply Networks with Agentic Decision Intelligence

About this webinar

The food and beverage industry in 2026 is caught between two forces pulling in opposite directions. Consumer demand is fragmenting rapidly, from brand consolidation to brand explosion, with healthier options, functional beverages, and niche competitors reshaping the shelf faster than most supply chains can respond. At the same time, margins are under pressure from rising ingredient costs, tariff volatility, and a market where the cost of a stockout or an oversupply event is immediate and visible.

The companies pulling ahead are not simply the ones with better dashboards or more visibility into their data. They are the ones turning that visibility into action, making faster, better decisions on inventory deployment, supplier allocation, and customer fulfillment, often autonomously and at the speed the market demands. In this webinar, Aera Technology and EY explore how leading F&B companies are moving beyond control tower visibility to decision networks that orchestrate end-to-end supply operations in real time.

Join us to learn how the fastest-moving F&B companies are turning decision velocity into margin protection. In this session, we’ll show:

  • How consumer fragmentation and cost volatility are raising the bar for F&B supply chain decision-making
  • How leading F&B companies are deploying decision intelligence to orchestrate distribution, supplier collaboration, and customer fulfillment
  • How to capture measurable ROI in the first 90 days and build a self-funding transformation model that scales

You’ll walk away with a clearer view of how agentic decision intelligence enables supply networks to sense change earlier, evaluate options faster, and act with confidence across the entire value chain.
