AI speaker · Logistics & Supply Chain

AI speaker for logistics & supply chain for your professional events.

An artificial intelligence conference tailored for logistics, transport and supply chain professionals. Romain Rissoan shows how AI sharpens forecasting, optimises routes and warehouses, and brings end-to-end reliability to your operations.

Why AI in logistics

The supply chain is an optimisation problem — the perfect playground for AI.

Volatile demand, rising transport costs, relentless pressure on lead times, environmental requirements: logistics and supply chain operate under continuous constraint. By nature it is one vast optimisation problem — which makes it an ideal domain for artificial intelligence, bringing visibility where uncertainty once reigned and genuine optimisation where rules of thumb once sufficed.

This AI conference dedicated to logistics illustrates concrete use cases, backed by real examples: demand forecasting, route optimisation, warehouse management, disruption anticipation, document automation. Romain Rissoan also stresses the prerequisite that is too often underestimated: data quality and availability, without which even the best models remain ineffective.

The talk addresses supply chain, transport and operations directors as well as front-line teams. The goal is a realistic picture: which use cases deliver quick value even with an imperfect information system, which ones require clean data first, and how to bring teams along in a continuous-improvement mindset rather than a technology project disconnected from the shop floor.

AI use cases · logistics

What AI concretely changes in logistics.

Use cases from forecasting to execution.

01

Demand forecasting

By integrating historical data, seasonality, trends and external signals, AI anticipates volumes with a precision that classical methods cannot match. Companies adjust stock levels, capacities and procurement more accurately, reduce both stockouts and overstock, and gain confidence when navigating demand volatility — turning reactive scrambling into proactive planning.

02

Route optimisation

AI calculates optimal transport plans by factoring in traffic, delivery time windows, vehicle capacities and operational constraints. Kilometres travelled, costs and CO₂ emissions all fall, load factors improve, and teams receive realistic, efficient routes that can be adjusted in real time as the day's disruptions unfold.

03

Warehouse management

From slotting decisions to order picking, AI optimises internal flows and operator movements. Preparation times shrink, errors decrease and warehouse productivity rises — while improving working conditions for operatives thanks to better-designed routes and processes.

04

Visibility and disruption anticipation

By cross-referencing data across the chain, AI detects and anticipates delays, stockouts and incidents before they become critical. Teams shift from reactive, fire-fighting management to proactive oversight: they receive early warnings, can reprioritise and reorganise, and limit the impact of disruptions on customers.

05

Document automation

Generative AI processes delivery notes, invoices, customs documents and declarations at scale: extraction, checking, reconciliation and data entry. Administrative lead times drop, errors fall and support teams are freed from repetitive tasks to focus on complex cases and relationships with carriers and clients.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a mature IT system before getting started?
The conference is candid on this point: for predictive use cases — forecasting, optimisation — data quality and availability directly determine results, and it is sometimes better to fix your data before investing in sophisticated models. That said, other use cases such as document automation or generative AI for support functions deliver quick value with no heavy prerequisites. The talk helps you distinguish between the two, so you can start where the value-to-effort ratio is most favourable.
Is the content relevant to both carriers and shippers?
Yes. The talk covers the full chain: transport, warehousing and overall supply chain management. For a carrier, the focus can be route optimisation and document automation; for a shipper or manufacturer, demand forecasting and end-to-end visibility. The conference tailors its examples to the audience's role and priorities, whether logistics operators, retailers or industrial supply chain directors.
Is a hands-on workshop possible after the keynote?
Absolutely. Following the conference, a practical workshop allows operations and support teams to work through their own specific cases: document automation, data exploitation, day-to-day generative AI use. Starting from real operational problems, participants build concrete, deployable solutions and leave with the methods and autonomy to implement them. The workshop runs in person or remotely.
