Turn Uncertainty into an Advantage
Most introductions start with forecasts, targets, and plans. This one starts with reality: supply chain is the business of making profitable choices when the future won’t sit still. Joannes Vermorel reframes the field as applied economics—mastering options under variability—and shows how to turn that stance into everyday practice.
From purchasing to last mile, the author explains why single number forecasts and ritual meetings quietly misallocate capital, then offers a practical alternative: price trade offs in money, carry uncertainty explicitly, and let simple, auditable software place many small bets faster than committees can meet. When the system can’t trust itself, it stops—so people can fix the economics and resume with confidence.
Rooted in seventeen years of hands on work across diverse industries, this is both a rethink and a field manual. It keeps what works, discards what doesn’t, and gives operators, students, and professors a common language for decisions—not dogma.
We’ve been using Lokad daily for over 2 years to calculate our sales prices. It’s a tailored solution, especially given that our combined catalogs take in to account the 20 countries where we operate. It has really helped us to take our ability to generate value via our pricing to a whole new level. As well as being very powerful, Lokad’s solution gives us speed and reactivity, two elements that have become essential for any e- commerce.
Now 70% of our turnover and all the growth is through ecommerce. I started to think about a purchase suggestion system to enhance/automate our purchase flows. I was planning to build it myself but realized that these guys made exactly what I was looking for - but way better! we use the service on a daily basis to optimize and make purchase decisions. Lokad is not replacing the purchase managers but enhances the capacity and provides most valuable insights to make their work efficient and accurate.
