You may have come across the phrase “Decision Intelligence” recently. It is starting to appear more often as organisations look beyond dashboards and automation, towards systems that help teams make better operational decisions.
For us, labour is the obvious place to start.
In warehouse operations, labour is often the first lever pulled when demand changes, productivity shifts or availability tightens. But decisions about how many people to commit, where to deploy them and when to adjust still sit outside the systems built to run the operation.
That is where Labour Decision Intelligence comes in. That’s where Predyktable comes in.
We help warehouse operators make improved decisions that enable better execution downstream and drive optimised cost and service outcomes.
It’s an area of growing interest, drop us a line if you’d like to know more.

AI in supply chains is forecast to grow significantly as businesses look for better ways to manage disruption, demand volatility and cost pressure. Worth a read if you’re thinking about where AI can move beyond dashboards: from demand forecasting and inventory management to logistics planning and real-time decision intelligence. (4 min)
A useful example of AI creating value beyond efficiency alone. This piece looks at how better replenishment decisions can help balance sales, availability, waste and ESG goals, exactly the kind of trade-off operational teams face every day. (3 min)
Drone delivery has been talked about for years, but this feels different. Amazon’s Darlington launch is a commercial UK service operating from a fulfilment centre, with autonomous drones delivering selected small parcels within a 7.5-mile radius, a useful signal of where last-mile logistics could be heading.

Anthropic’s move toward a US IPO is another sign that Enterprise AI is moving from hype cycle to long-term business infrastructure. Worth a scan for what it says about the scale, scrutiny and investment pressure now building around frontier AI and why leaders need to separate practical value from noise. (2 min)
A strong read on why successful AI adoption depends on trust, context and practical usefulness. The best operational AI projects are not built around replacing expertise, they are built around helping teams make better decisions with it. (5 min)
AI is moving deeper into everyday discovery and decision-making. Google’s Search updates show people moving beyond keywords into conversational, agent-led journeys, something retailers and supply chain teams should watch closely. Because changes in how people search, compare and choose can quickly become changes in demand signals. (9 min)
A positive example of AI being used in public infrastructure, not just business software. Councils are using live traffic data and digital twins to predict congestion and adjust road networks in real time; helping people spend less time stuck at busy junctions. The technology uses live traffic data to create a virtual replica – or “digital twin” – of the road network and predicts where jams will occur. (2 min)
We’re looking for a strong Account Executive to help us grow across the UK retail and 3PL market.
The right person will know retail, warehousing, fulfilment or logistics and know how to sell value, not noise. They’ll be comfortable having in-depth conversations with operational and commercial decision-makers and be a force for good in and around the rest of our team.
