Oracle has released new Fusion Agentic Applications as part of the latest updates to Oracle Cloud SCM. The cutting-edge features will increase inventory visibility, reduce supplier and operational impact, and improve manufacturing efficiency.
Oracle has unveiled four new Fusion Agentic Applications designed to help organizations improve supply chain performance through greater inventory visibility, enhanced supplier management, and increased manufacturing efficiency.
Integrated within Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM), the new applications use coordinated teams of specialized artificial intelligence (AI) agents that are outcome-driven, proactive, reasoning-based, and built for enterprise execution. Alongside the new applications, Oracle has also introduced additional inventory optimization capabilities aimed at helping organizations build more resilient supply chains.
“Supply chain leaders are under increasing pressure to improve service levels, control costs, and respond faster to disruption amid ongoing economic and operational uncertainty,” said S.Y. Shenoy, Senior Vice President, Fusion SCM development, Oracle.
“With the new agentic applications and inventory optimization capabilities in Oracle Cloud SCM, organizations can identify issues sooner, prioritize actions, and make faster, more informed decisions across planning, procurement, and manufacturing.”
As part of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, Oracle Cloud SCM provides a unified AI-powered platform that connects supply chain planning and execution processes, enabling organizations to respond more effectively to changing market conditions.
The platform includes embedded AI agents and agentic applications that support product design, manufacturing, procurement, order fulfilment, and logistics execution. Customers can also use AI Agent Studio for Fusion Agentic Applications to create, connect, and deploy AI automation and agentic applications using Oracle, partner, and external agents without the need for traditional application development.
FOUR NEW AGENTIC APPLICATIONS
Running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and powered by large language models (LLMs), the latest Fusion Agentic Applications are designed to move beyond AI assistance by executing routine tasks within Oracle Fusion Applications’ existing security framework. The applications can autonomously complete work within established guardrails while escalating exceptions, trade-offs, and decisions where human judgment is required.
The four new applications include:
Inventory Planning Command Center – Enables supply chain teams to improve inventory availability, increase service levels, and resolve stock shortages more quickly by replacing manual inventory tracking with an automated, business-focused workflow.
Supplier Qualification Workspace – Supports procurement teams by streamlining supplier qualification through a guided, risk-based process that helps reduce supplier risk, improve compliance, and accelerate onboarding decisions.
Production Readiness Workspace – Helps manufacturing teams improve production readiness by replacing manual checklists with proactive recommendations and prioritized actions that reduce setup errors and minimize production delays.
Kanban Administrative Workspace – Enhances kanban replenishment through proactive, exception-based optimization, helping manufacturers reduce shortages, limit excess inventory, and maintain production flow.
NEW INVENTORY OPTIMIZATION CAPABILITIES
Oracle has also expanded Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning with new inventory optimization capabilities designed to balance service levels with inventory costs.
The enhancements include multi-echelon inventory optimization, which recommends safety stock targets across complex supply chain networks by analysing demand patterns and lead time variability.
Additionally, interactive inventory network visualization provides planners with an integrated view of supply chain relationships, inventory levels, and service-level metrics to improve understanding of inventory performance and network dependencies.
Completing the update is the Inventory Optimization Advisor Agent, which helps planners identify inventory risks, understand the causes of service-level shortfalls, analyse inventory dependencies, and recommend adjustments to safety stock levels.
