Sunstice announced Helios, the latest addition to its supply chain planning and revenue growth management platform built for permanent uncertainty.
This new agentic AI layer is designed to help planning teams reduce analysis effort, accelerate decision cycles, and improve decision quality when conditions never stabilize.
“In a world of permanent uncertainty, planning has become a strategic performance lever. Companies need to assess, decide, and act faster without losing control. Sunstice Helios is an important step in that direction, helping organizations shorten decision cycles and accelerate the journey towards Structured Agility in everyday operations,” says Yacine Zeroual, CEO of Sunstice.
“The challenge we set out to solve with Sunstice Helios was clear: decision-making is still too slow because analysis takes too long. Helios uses AI agents to automate complex analytical tasks, surface relevant insights, and support next-best actions, so planners can focus less on investigation and more on decision and action,” says Gilles Lefebvre, chief product and R&D officer at Sunstice.
Key takeaways:
· Sunstice Helios introduces an agentic AI layer that streamlines complex analytical work and structures decision workflows across planning processes.
· Rather than replacing planners, Sunstice Helios is designed to remove the analytical bottlenecks that slow them down, enabling faster movement from issue detection to decision and execution, while maintaining full human control.
· Built on the Sunstice Structured Agility operating framework, Helios strengthens the ability of organizations to combine structured decision processes with the agility required to respond to continuous disruption.
· Sunstice Helios embeds intelligence directly into planning workflows.
· At the core of Helios are specialized AI agents designed to support high-frequency planning tasks. These agents assist planners by automating and structuring analytical work such as diagnosis of supply and demand imbalances; root cause analysis of disruptions and performance gaps; identification of key drivers affecting service and cost outcomes; and evaluation of scenarios and trade-offs based on business constraints.
· Sunstice Helios provides a set of expert agents designed for recurring, cross-industry planning use cases, including scenario evaluation, forecast performance analysis, and disruption diagnosis.
· Helios Agent Builder enables organizations to configure or extend agent behavior to reflect their own planning logic, constraints, and decision structures. This combination allows enterprises to benefit immediately from proven planning intelligence, while progressively adapting it to their specific operational context.
