“Planning is shifting from static forecasting to structured decision systems that improve with every cycle,” said Chakri Gottemukkala, Co-founder and CEO of o9. “The companies speaking at aim10x Digital are showing what that shift looks like in practice. From touchless planning and automated replenishment to unified planning foundations, the focus is on building operating models that enable faster and more aligned decisions across commercial, supply, and finance functions.”

aim10x Digital 2026 will address eight planning challenges, including agility, resilience, connected data and IT, post-game analysis, adaptive inventory management, and top-line growth.
