The Supply Chain Reset: Data Discipline, AI Adoption, and the End of Stability
How Wayfair and Easy Metrics are navigating unpredictable demand, fragmented data, and the real prerequisites for AI in fulfillment operations.
Overview
Supply chains aren’t just moving faster — they’re moving unpredictably. Demand spikes, rate dislocations, port disruptions, and tariff volatility have made stability a baseline assumption that no longer holds. In this environment, efficiency follows data readiness, not the other way around.
In this on-demand webinar from Emerj, Easy Metrics President & CTO Dan Keto joins Ajith Vasudevan, Head of Castlegate Fulfillment and Director of Global Fulfillment Planning & Analytics at Wayfair, for a candid conversation on what it actually takes to build a data foundation capable of supporting AI-driven decision-making at scale.
Drawing from real deployments and hard-won operational experience, they break down why organizations that rushed toward AI have had to step back, what data discipline looks like in practice, and how digital twins and scenario modeling are reshaping how fulfillment teams get ahead of disruption rather than react to it.
In this webinar you will learn:
- Why data unification must come before AI adoption — and what happens when it doesn’t
- How disconnected taxonomy across facilities blocks network-wide visibility
- What it takes to build the “golden table” that makes agent-driven decisions trustworthy
- How digital twins and scenario testing help teams fight fires four to eight weeks out
- Why cost modeling and accurate price discovery are the next frontier for fulfillment operations
