Actionable Intelligence. You may have seen this term used on the BetweenMarkets site pre-acquisition, on the Inovis website since the acquisition, or on technology related websites. Actionable Intelligence is not a new term, but is widely used with a core meaning.
In military use, Actionable Intelligence means providing commanders and soldiers a high level of situational understanding, delivered with speed, accuracy and timeliness, in order to conduct successful operations. Essentially, this means having a good up to date understanding of your objective and the situation prior to action.
According to PC Magazine, Actionable Intelligence is “having the necessary information immediately available in order to deal with the situation at hand.” This is where Actionable Intelligence (AI) fits in the supply chain and logistics world. In the supply chain, AI can help improve the quality and efficiency of business processes. Think of it as your supply chain running through a microscope.
