Ability to articulate and demonstrate the foundational AI concepts that make SCOS technically differentiated, not just as an agentic platform, but as an AI-native system grounded in structured intelligence. This includes hands-on familiarity with Ontologies (the formal supply chain entity and relationship models that agents reason over), Knowledge Graphs (how SCOS traverses multi-hop relationships across suppliers, inventory, demand, and logistics nodes using semantic graph queries), and Semantics (how meaning and context are embedded into data so agents can reason over intent, not just retrieve records). Ability to demonstrate why agents without a semantic foundation produce brittle, unexplainable decisions, and how SCOS's living ontology, which agents actively write back to with decision nodes and confidence weights, produces decisions that are auditable, improvable, and enterprise-grade. Deep functional knowledge of Supply Chain OS: Demand sensing and forecasting, inventory optimization, supply planning, procurement orchestration, logistics management, supplier collaboration and supply chain control tower. Ability to demonstrate SCOS across a representative supply chain scenario: Skill to run a compelling, end-to-end product demonstration across a realistic supply chain scenario: demand signal ingestion, forecast generation, inventory recommendation, supply plan creation, exception alert surfacing, and the management dashboard, tailored to the buyer's industry and pain points. Skill to scope a credible supply chain AI PoC: defining product families and planning horizon, configuring forecast models, running a retrospective accuracy test, and presenting results to a supply chain and finance evaluation panel. Design and present a SCOS deployment architecture: Ability to design and present a full solution architecture for SCOS deployment, including integration with ERP (SAP, Oracle), WMS, TMS, supplier portals, IoT sensors, and financial planning systems. Supply chain data requirements & quality: Understanding of supply chain data requirements: demand history, BOM, lead times, supplier performance data, IoT telemetry, and the data quality remediation typically needed before AI planning models can run reliably. Ability to scope a data readiness assessment. SAP IBP integration patterns & migration: Familiarity with SAP IBP integration patterns and migration approaches: how SCOS coexists with or replaces SAP IBP, data synchronisation design, and transition planning for supply planning teams — a critical objection-handling topic. Supply chain planning methodology: Understanding of statistical forecasting, machine learning demand sensing, multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO), constraint-based scheduling, and the S&OP process, enabling credible conversations with supply chain practitioners, not just technology buyers. Agentic supply chain decision-making: Familiarity with agentic supply chain design: autonomous replenishment agents, dynamic safety stock agents, carrier selection agents, including goal definition, tool use, constraint handling, and human-in-the-loop approval design for enterprise governance. Target Personas: Comfort navigating complex, multi-stakeholder technical evaluations where IT leadership, enterprise architects, and supply chain systems owners all have a vote. Ability to meet each persona at their level, from API integration detail with architects to planning methodology with supply chain teams to data governance with CDOs.
