Just in time? Manufacturers turn to AI to weather tariff storm
Manufacturers like U.S. lawnmower maker The Toro Company are not panicking at the prospect of U.S. President Donald Trump's global trade tariffs. Despite five years of dramatic supply disruptions, from the COVID pandemic to today's trade wars, Toro is resisting any temptation to stack its warehouses to the rafters. "We are at probably pre-pandemic inventory levels," says its chief supply-chain manager, Kevin Carpenter, looking relaxed in front of a whiteboard at his office in Minneapolis. "I mean 2019. I think everybody will be at a 2019 level." Among U.S. manufacturers, inventories have roller-coasted this year as they rushed to beat Trump's deadlines for tariff hikes, only to see them repeatedly delayed. But since their post-pandemic expansion, inventories have mostly contracted, according to U.S. Institute for Supply Management data. Instead, "just in time" inventory management - which aims to increase efficiency and reduce waste by ordering goods only as they are needed - is back. But how can firms run lean inventories even as tariffs fluctuate, export bans come out of the blue, and conflict rages? One of the answers, they say, is artificial intelligence. Carpenter says he uses AI to digest the daily stream of news that could impact Toro's business, from Trump's latest social media posts to steel prices, into a custom-made podcast that he listens to each morning. His team also uses generative AI to sieve an ocean of data and to suggest when and how many components to buy from whom. It is a boom industry. Spending on software that includes generative AI for supply chains, capable of learning and even performing tasks on its own, could hit $55 billion by 2029, up from $2.7 billion now, according to U.S. research firm Gartner, driven in part by global uncertainties. HYPE "The tool just puts up in front of you: 'I think you can take 100 tonnes of this product from this plant to transfer it to that plant. And you just hit accept if that makes sense (to you)," McKinsey supply chain consultant Matt Jochim said. The biggest providers of overall supply chain software by revenue are Germany's SAP, U.S. firms Oracle, Coupa and Microsoft and Blue Yonder, a unit of Panasonic, according to Gartner. Generative AI is in its infancy, with most firms still piloting it spending modest amounts, industry experts say. Those investments can climb to tens of millions of dollars when deployed at scale, including the use of tools known as AI agents, which make their own decisions and often need costly upgrades to data management and other IT systems, they said. In commenting for this article, SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Microsoft and Blue Yonder described strong growth for generative AI solutions for supply chains without giving numbers. At U.S. supply chain consultancy GEP, which sells AI tools like this, Trump's tariffs are helping to drive demand. "The tariff volatility has been big," says GEP consultant Mukund Acharya, an expert in retail industry supply chains. SAP said the uncertainty was driving technology take-up. "That's how it was during the financial crisis, Brexit and COVID. And it's what we're seeing now," Richard Howells, SAP vice president and supply chain specialist, said in a statement. An AI agent can sift real-time news feeds on changing tariff scenarios, assess contract renewal dates and a myriad of other data points and come up with a suggested plan of action. But supply chain experts warn of AI hype, saying a lot of money will be wasted on a vain hope that AI can work miracles. "AI is really a powerful enabler for supply chain resilience, but it's not a silver bullet," says Minna Aila, communications chief at Finnish crane-maker Konecranes and member of a business board that advises the OECD on issues including supply chain resilience. "I'm still looking forward to the day when AI can predict terrorist attacks that are at sea, for instance." Konecranes' logistics partners are deploying AI on more mundane data, like weather forecasts. The company makes port cranes that are up to 106 metres (348 ft) high when assembled. When shipping them, AI marries weather forecasts with data like bridge heights to optimise the route. "To ship those across oceans, you do have to take into consideration weather," Aila says. RISING COSTS By keeping inventories low, firms can bolster profit margins that are under pressure from rising costs. Every component or finished product sitting on a shelf is capital tied up, incurring finance and storage costs and at risk of obsolescence. McKinsey has been surveying supply-chain executives since the pandemic. Its most recent survey showed that respondents relying on bigger inventory to cushion disruptions fell to 34% last year from 60% in 2022. Early responses from its upcoming 2025 survey suggest a similar picture, Jochim said. Gartner supply chain analyst Noha Tohamy says that without AI, companies would be slower to react and be more likely to be drawn into building up inventories. "When supply chain organisations don't have that visibility and don't really understand the uncertainty, we go for inventory buffering," Tohamy says. But AI agents won't put supply chain managers out of work, not yet, consultants say. Humans still need to make strategic and big tactical decisions, leaving AI agents to do more routine tasks like ordering and scheduling production maintenance. Toro supply chain chief Carpenter says that without AI, supply chain managers might need to run bigger teams as well. Is he worried that AI is coming for his job one day?

Ethereum-Based Meme Coin Pepeto Secures $6.09M in Presale
A new Ethereum-based meme coin, Pepeto, has raised more than $6.09 million in its presale stage, signalling a strong demand and growing investor confidence in the project. The surge in funding comes as the cryptocurrency market continues to attract speculative investments, with meme coins often riding waves of social media trends and community-driven hype. Pepeto, which launched its presale only a few weeks ago, is quickly gaining traction among crypto enthusiasts and investors. Its presale has been characterised by significant interest, with the project's unique branding, which mimics the success of other meme tokens, such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, being one of the driving factors. The coin, a derivative of the meme-driven cryptocurrency ecosystem, appears to be tapping into a burgeoning market for low-cost, high-risk investment opportunities. The presale phase, which is expected to reach its ninth stage soon, represents a crucial point for the token's developers and backers. Ethereum-based tokens are particularly favoured for their robust network and security features, and the increasing popularity of meme coins on this platform makes Pepeto an attractive option for investors looking for the next breakout opportunity in the highly volatile crypto space. ADVERTISEMENT Unlike other meme coins, which rely heavily on viral marketing campaigns and online communities, Pepeto has garnered attention through strategic partnerships and a steady stream of community engagement. By focusing on building a loyal following through transparency and open communication, the Pepeto team has managed to create a sense of trust among early investors, a key factor in the coin's rapid success. While the coin's development team remains tight-lipped about the specifics of its long-term roadmap, experts believe that meme coins' reliance on social media-driven hype can be both a strength and a vulnerability. The ability of a coin like Pepeto to maintain momentum and deliver real utility beyond mere speculation will determine whether it can break free from the boom-and-bust cycles that have plagued other meme coins in the past. As the presale enters its final stages, the token's backers are already planning its full public launch, which is expected to bring even more attention to the project. However, the risks associated with investing in meme coins are well known, and many market observers have cautioned investors to exercise caution. Pepeto's success thus far is a reflection of the broader trend in the crypto market, where meme tokens continue to garner attention and attract speculative investment. The explosive growth of tokens like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu has led to a proliferation of similar projects, all vying for a slice of the highly profitable, yet highly volatile, crypto market. Critics argue that the speculative nature of meme coins poses a significant risk to investors, particularly as the market experiences periods of high volatility. Given the short-term focus of many meme coin investors, the long-term sustainability of projects like Pepeto remains uncertain. However, the project's ability to raise funds at this stage is indicative of the appetite for risk among crypto investors. In parallel, some cryptocurrency analysts believe that the boom in meme coins could be indicative of a broader trend towards decentralised finance and the growing interest in community-led projects. Pepeto's success, however, will depend on how well it can transition from a meme-based speculative asset into a coin with genuine value.

EverGive targets $13m Bitcoin Reserve with new president appointment
Muhammed Yesilhard/Image: Supplied EverGive, the organisation pioneering a Bitcoin Reserve to provide sustainable, long-term charitable funding, has appointed co-founder Muhammed Yesilhark as president. An experienced investor and digital assets expert, Yesilhark has been instrumental in shaping EverGive's mission to free charitable funding from the constraints of high time preference and misaligned incentives. In his new role, Yesilhark will oversee strategy for EverGive's Bitcoin Reserve – currently valued at £1.55m ($2m) – with the goal of surpassing £10m ($13m) by the end of 2025. His remit includes guiding investment decisions, forging strategic partnerships, and ensuring the reserve delivers maximum long-term impact for the charitable sector. Yesilhark also serves as chief investment officer at NOIA Capital and sits on the Board of Directors of Dubai Chamber Digital Economy. His career spans leadership positions at hedge funds in New York and London, alongside long-standing advocacy for Bitcoin as a tool for economic empowerment and financial sovereignty. EverGive's model converts donations into Bitcoin, a scarce and borderless asset, allowing value to appreciate over time rather than being spent immediately. This approach ensures that partner charities, including Cancer Research UK, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Orphans in Need, benefit from a predictable and growing stream of support, even in economic downturns. 'Bitcoin is more than just a financial asset. It's freedom technology,' said Yesilhark. 'EverGive is about turning generosity into permanence – creating an engine of support that doesn't erode with time, inflation, or politics. That's why Ismael and I are so committed to building this.' With more than $130m raised for charities by the EverGive team in previous ventures, the organisation now aims to reach 100,000 monthly donors and expand the reserve into a global endowment for causes with lasting societal impact. 'Muhammed's leadership and investment depth continue to be a powerful asset for us,' said EverGive co-founder and CEO Ismael Dainehine. 'His conviction in Bitcoin as a foundation for long-term giving has shaped EverGive's approach from day one. Together, we're building something that can shape how humanity manages its responsibility to the future, and how it funds impact – not just this year, but forever.' Digital asset donations exceeded $1bn in 2024, with more than 70 per cent of Forbes' top charities now accepting digital assets such as Bitcoin. EverGive is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift, not only adapting to change but helping to define the future of philanthropic infrastructure.
