Pelico Included in Three Gartner® Supply Chain Research Publications in 2026
We are pleased to share that Pelico has been included in a third Gartner research publication this year.
Pelico is named as a Sample Vendor in the Supply Chain Orchestration profile of the newly published Hype Cycle™ for Multienterprise Solutions, 2026 (Christian Titze, Balaji Abbabatulla, Brock Johns, 27 July 2026). This follows our inclusion as a Sample Vendor in the Hype Cycle for Supply Chain Strategy, 2026, and as a representative vendor in the Market Overview for Supply Chain Orchestration Platforms.
Three inclusions in five weeks reflect, in our view, the growing industry focus on supply chain orchestration and manufacturing execution.
One Category, Now Reaching Two Audiences
The new Hype Cycle addresses supply chain strategy leaders building network collaboration and AI transformation across multipartner ecosystems. Within it, the report states:
“Supply chain orchestration is the strategy of fulfilling enterprise business outcomes by executing optimized operational decisions across the end-to-end supply chain.”
The profile carries a Benefit Rating of Transformational.
In our view, this is the same fundamental shift we see with manufacturers every day: operational decisions and execution need to connect directly to business outcomes such as reliable delivery and growth, and orchestration is the layer that makes that connection.
What This Means for Manufacturers
Manufacturers today face increasing complexity across production, supply, engineering, quality, and maintenance. At Pelico, our mission has always been to help manufacturing organizations understand what is truly ready to execute, identify operational bottlenecks, coordinate decisions across teams, and improve manufacturing flow.
That work spans the operational areas where execution gaps hit hardest, including:
- Material coverage and clear-to-build readiness
- Original equipment manufacturing
- Maintenance, repair, and overhaul
- Inventory optimization
- Program management
- Services, spares, and aftermarket
- Quality for execution
These areas increasingly run together through agentic orchestration, where domain-specific AI agents surface what is at risk, propose the next best action, and coordinate the teams who need to act, while people stay in control of the decision.
What sets Pelico apart, in our view, is that the platform is manufacturing-native. It builds a live model of how a complex manufacturing operation actually fits together, and projects how operational events affect delivery commitments while there is still time to act. Because that domain model comes built in rather than being constructed project by project, deployments start from packaged manufacturing content instead of a blank page. That is what makes fast time to value possible: manufacturers begin resolving real execution decisions in weeks, without waiting for a long transformation program.
It is also built for enterprise scale. Pelico maps dependencies across multi-level bills of material, work orders, capacity, sites, programs, and the supplier network in one connected model. It runs on the ERP, MES, and planning systems enterprises already have, with no rip-and-replace, and reaches live operation on initial use cases in approximately twelve weeks. As customers extend Pelico from a first site to an enterprise standard, the same dependency model scales across every plant, program, and supplier in the network.
Continuing Industry Engagement
Throughout 2026, Pelico has continued to engage with industry analysts, customers, and manufacturing leaders to discuss the evolution of manufacturing operations, supply chain orchestration, and AI-enabled decision support. We appreciate the opportunity to contribute our perspective as this market continues to evolve.
We remain focused on helping manufacturers improve operational resilience, accelerate execution, and enable better decisions across the factory and supplier network.
