What happens in a company when tariff rates change every other day? Is it viable to change suppliers? Can we modify the mix of critical raw materials that go into the products we make? How can supply chain leaders adapt continuously yet create stability as tariffs keep shifting the ground beneath them?

Last week, Avathon CEO Pervinder Johar joined Livingston International CEO Robert Smith and CSCMP President Mark Baxa to discuss the many rapidly evolving challenges of tariff and supply chain management and explore how strategy and AI can help organizations navigate uncertainty more confidently.

Many companies have taken the view that the best course of action is to pause and await a more stable trade environment. But relentless dynamic changes in the tariff landscape demand that leaders adapt rapidly to the latest regulations and process changes. In a world fraught with trade risks and tariff uncertainty, it’s important to maintain this agility in the face of relentless instability. AI provides the tools to ensure that agility.

If you’d like to discuss one-on-one the ways in which AI can help your organization navigate the fast-changing trade and tariff environment, reach out to us at info@avathon.com.
