The era of the spreadsheet is over. The era of the Agent has begun.

In the high-stakes theater of industrial operations, your supply chain is bleeding. It isn't bleeding from the multi-million dollar strategic contracts you watch like a hawk; it is bleeding from the Tail Spend Trap-the thousands of low-value, high-friction transactions that clog your ERP, exhaust your procurement teams, and evaporate your margins.

For decades, the solution was to hire more people or enforce stricter rules. Neither worked. The data is too dirty, the volume is too high, and the legacy software is too brittle.

It's time to stop digitizing the past and start architecting the future.

The Agentic Supply Chain is not a book of high-level theory. It is a technical blueprint for the next generation of industrial intelligence. David Maiolo dismantles the illusion of digital transformation and provides a rigorous, ground-up guide to building Industrial Superintelligence-a system where AI doesn't just chat, it acts.

Inside, you will discover how to:

  • Escape the Data Trap: Move beyond Regex and fuzzy matching to build Vector Databases that understand the physics of your inventory, resolving millions of duplicate SKUs with semantic precision.
  • Build the Brain Architect advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) pipelines that can read technical drawings, parse messy invoices, and understand complex vendor relationships.
  • Deploy Autonomous Agents: Shift from passive chatbots to active Agents equipped with Tool Schemas, capable of executing transactions within your ERP using Human-on-the-Loop governance.
  • Automate Negotiation: Design agents that leverage Should Cost models and game theory to negotiate pricing with vendors in real-time, turning procurement from a cost center into a value generator.
Whether you are a CTO trying to integrate LLMs into a legacy stack, or a Supply Chain Director tired of Line Down events caused by bad data, this book provides the code, the architecture, and the strategy to build a machine that buys better than a human ever could.

Stop fighting the chaos. Build the intelligence that masters it.
