Zero100 has launched Peerworks, an operator-led initiative for supply chain practitioners working on agentic AI. The programme begins with founding council members from Google, Meta, PepsiCo, Toyota Motor North America, Pfizer and more than 20 other brands.

Peerworks is built around three practitioner councils, each with about 15 members, that will examine end-to-end workflows across supply chain functions. Their work will inform a playbook on technology, process and people for companies seeking to build what Zero100 describes as agentic supply chains.

The launch reflects a broader push to move beyond isolated artificial intelligence projects and apply AI across planning, sourcing, inventory and service operations. It is aimed at practitioners below C-suite level who work directly in those processes, rather than senior executives setting overall strategy.

The councils are organised around Zero100's PowerThreads framework: Signal-to-Plan, Source-to-Supply and Inventory-to-Service. Zero100 describes these as workflows that cut across traditional functional boundaries.

The structure is intended to address a long-standing supply chain problem: planning, procurement, manufacturing and logistics teams often work to different targets and use separate systems. Peerworks brings together executives and senior operators trying to reconnect those functions through AI-led workflows.

The output will be based on the direct experience of participating companies and their wider networks. Zero100 presents the effort as a response to strong interest in agentic AI and the limited practical guidance available to large companies with established systems and processes.

Olly Sloboda, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Zero100, said: "We built Peerworks to help supply chain professionals bridge the information gap that exists around agentic AI: lots of promise and consultant hype, but less practical guidance on how companies are successfully scaling.
