optaire by 4flow included in Gartner® Coolest Vendor Innovations for Cross-Functional Supply Chain Technology (2026)

4flow was included in the Gartner® report “Coolest Vendor Innovations for Cross-Functional Supply Chain Technology (2026)” with its modular, AI-native platform for supply chain and logistics optimization, optaire by 4flow.

Chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) and their leadership teams are expected to deliver successful digital and AI transformation that reduces costs and improves supply chain resilience and agility. At the same time, these leaders must handle global and operational disruptions, fragmented data across digital systems and other constraints affecting the market. 

Intelligent, end-to-end AI platforms are here to help. Amid a quickly developing market, the Gartner report highlights innovations that “are positioned to address these challenges by creating AI-enabled intelligence layers.” 

By connecting data from multiple systems with operational execution, AI platforms like optaire by 4flow help teams improve agility and resilience in their supply chains – “connecting physical operations, enterprise systems and external signals above existing platforms” to improve speed, accuracy and productivity “without requiring full platform replacement.” The report continues: “The value comes from helping organizations sense conditions earlier, simulate options faster and then decide and act with greater confidence.”

“Our customers need to make fast, confident, data-driven decisions amid persistent volatility – without losing sight of service, cost and growth objectives,” said Natalia Andreyeva, Vice President Go-To-Market Strategy at 4flow. “Because disruptions cascade across the supply chain from end to end, they can quickly impact customer service levels and margins. Organizations already have much of the data they need to respond, but it is often siloed across disconnected systems. AI creates an opportunity to connect that data, identify what matters most and provide clear, actionable recommendations.”

optaire by 4flow is a modular, AI-native platform for end-to-end supply chain and logistics optimization. It integrates with existing digital landscapes and connects data through an ontology model, enabling AI to surface relevant insights on business impact, resolution options and recommended execution steps. This helps teams accelerate critical decisions and improve the speed of execution.
