Oracle revolutionizes logistics with AI: the future of inventory is already here

By María Gamba – August 2025

Global logistics is undergoing a radical change. The growth ofeCommerce, the pressure on thesupply chainand the need for greater agility have led large technology companies to become key players in innovation. One of them isOracle, which with the launch ofOracle Fusion Cloud Advanced Inventory Managementseeks to transform the way inventories are managed, integratingartificial intelligence (AI)andcloud automation.

According to the global report“Reinvention of Supply Chains for 2030”from PwC, almost half of the world's organizations (49%)already use AI in their inventory processes. The reason is simple: to achieve greater precision, reduce errors, avoid shortages, and improve decision-making in an increasingly dynamic environment.

The end of obsolete processes

In logistics, inventories are the heart of the business. However, many companies still rely on manual systems, spreadsheets, or slow processes that generate:

• Frequent errors in counts.
• High storage costs.
• Delays in distribution and deliveries.

As noted bySrini Rajagopal, Vice President of Logistics Product Strategy at Oracle:“Organizations that rely on obsolete and manual inventory processes have difficulty adapting to current demands, which translates into errors, higher costs, and delays in deliveries.”

Oracle's proposal goes in the opposite direction: eliminate friction and automate most of the work.

The functions that redefine logistics management

The solutionOracle Fusion Cloud Advanced Inventory Managementis not just another inventory management software. It is anintelligent platformthat combines the cloud with AI to offer immediate benefits:

• Optimized task assignment→ fewer counting errors and greater speed.
• Simplified and real-time transactionsthanks to the cloud.
• Cross-docking alertsthat allow quick reactions to demand peaks.
• Intelligent grouping of shipments, generating savings in transportation.
• AI-powered storage recommendationsto better utilize every cubic meter.
• Automatic inventory replenishment, reducing dependence on the human factor.

This type of innovation not only reduces costs, but also makes companiesmore agile and competitive, something key in sectors such as health, manufacturing, and distribution, where precision is non-negotiable.

AI as a strategic advisor

One of the most disruptive aspects of this tool is thatAI not only executes tasks, but also analyzes data and proposes solutions. This allows logistics managers to make strategic decisions with reliable, real-time information: from moving inventory before it runs out, to adjusting transportation routes according to demand.

It is no longer just about operational efficiency, but aboutintelligence in decision-making.

Impact in Mexico and the role of Control Terrestre

In Mexico, where logistics faces additional challenges such asroad safety, urban congestion, and the growing demand for nearshoring, solutions like Oracle's can mark a before and after.

Companies likeControl Terrestre (CT)have a crucial role in this process. As a freight intermediary, CT understands that inventory management and logistics optimization do not only depend on moving products, but also on havingdigital tools and intelligent processesthat guarantee traceability, security, and efficiency.

By integrating advanced technologies and collaborating with strategic partners,CT can offer its clients the confidence that their operations are aligned with the best global practices, becoming an indispensable ally to compete in international markets.

Conclusion: the logistics of the future has already arrived

The launch ofOracle Fusion Cloud Advanced Inventory Managementconfirms something that is already evident: logistics is leaving behind the traditional model to fully enter the era ofintelligent automation.

Today, the difference between a competitive company and a lagging one lies in its ability to adopt these technologies. AI and the cloud are not a luxury, they are a strategic necessity.

In this new scenario, companies likeControl Terrestreare ready to guide their clients towards safer, more agile, and profitable operations, demonstrating that the future of logistics is no longer a promise: it is a reality that is built every day.
