- o9 and Prewave integrate AI-powered risk intelligence for proactive supply chain management.

Global supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions—from geopolitical instability to labour strikes and supplier insolvencies. A new partnership between enterprise AI software provider o9 and supply chain intelligence platform Prewave aims to address these risks by integrating real-time risk data into decision-making processes. This collaboration enhances supply chain visibility, allowing companies to anticipate disruptions and take preemptive action.
A Unified Approach to Risk Management
The integration of Prewave’s multi-tier risk intelligence into o9’s Digital Brain platform provides a single source of truth for supply chain vulnerabilities. By combining external risk signals with AI-driven scenario planning, businesses can assess alternative sourcing options and mitigate potential disruptions before they impact operations.
“Modern, global supply chains are more complex and prone to disruption than ever before,” said Harald Nitschinger, co-founder of Prewave. “Companies need solutions that not only detect risks but also enable a rapid response. By partnering with o9, we are delivering an end-to-end, unified approach to supply chain risk management.”
Turning Risk into Opportunity
Clients leveraging this new capability gain access to real-time risk alerts organised into 200+ categories—including regulatory changes, natural disasters, and supplier financial distress. This empowers procurement and operations teams to quantify revenue at risk, run “what-if” scenario analyses, and implement mitigation strategies tailored to their unique challenges.
o9’s CEO Chakri Gottemukkala highlighted the transformative impact of this partnership: “By integrating Prewave’s AI-powered external risk intelligence with o9’s planning and optimisation capabilities, clients benefit from an advanced workflow that enhances visibility, strengthens supplier collaboration, and ensures business continuity in times of uncertainty.”
Strategic Risk Management as a Competitive Advantage
Companies that proactively integrate risk intelligence into their Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) workflows gain a competitive edge. Predictive analytics, supplier collaboration tools, and AI-driven insights help organisations navigate volatility, optimise inventory levels, and prevent costly disruptions.
With the increasing complexity of supply chain ecosystems, intelligent risk management is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Through this partnership, o9 and Prewave are equipping enterprises with the tools they need to stay ahead of risk and build a more resilient, responsive supply chain.
