Amazon announced November 28 that Amazon Web Services (AWS) had launched four new features for AWS Supply Chain. The new tools include AWS Supply Chain Planning, AWS Supply Chain N-Tier Visibility, AWS Supply Chain Sustainability and Amazon Q.

Amazon said AWS Supply Chain Planning will help customers predict and plan for supply chain disruptions. N-Tier Visibility will help customers publish forecasts and confirm orders with multiple tiers of suppliers, the company claimed. AWS Supply Chain Sustainability will allow consumers to request, collect and audit sustainability data. Amazon Q operates as an AI-powered assistant that can highlight potential supply chain risks.

“Customers are excited that we're making our extensive supply chain experience available to them as a managed service,” said Diego Pantoja-Navajas, vice president of AWS Supply Chain. “With AWS Supply Chain, our customers have been able to increase inventory visibility and execute on insights to mitigate supply chain risks, reduce cost, and improve customer satisfaction.”
