Supply Chain Wizard Launches SCW.AI: Next Generation Digital Factory Platform for Self-driving Supply Chain.
SCW.AI by Supply Chain Wizard will be a new entity serving manufacturing companies of all sizes with its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) “Digital Factory” platform. SCW.AI will specifically focus on regulated industries (pharma, food & beverage) to bring “Speed”, “Simplicity” and “Scalability” to Digital Transformation Programs.
It is estimated that only less than 5% of manufacturing companies utilize SaaS solutions [1]. Compared to the “front end” of commerce, where the penetration of digital / e-commerce is now up to 50%, the “back end” of commerce (i.e., manufacturing & supply chain) has a big gap to close. Most industries experience this challenge, as the supply chains of manufacturing companies struggle to keep up with dynamically changing demand conditions in the post-pandemic new normal.

What’s next? – From domain expert consulting business to market-leading SaaS solution:
Supply Chain Wizard, LLC, a two-time Inc. 5000 honoree and a Gartner Cool Vendor in Supply Chain Execution Technologies, was founded in 2014 in Princeton, New Jersey by Evren Ozkaya, Ph.D., a former McKinsey consultant and a pharma executive from Sandoz / Novartis. Dr. Ozkaya started building a full-service global consulting firm specializing in serialization and traceability, as well as supply chain strategy and operational transformation programs. Having served over 100 clients with projects in more than 40 countries, SCW has experienced a variety of operational problems at firsthand and started bringing technology-enabled solutions to its clients. Later, with its Research & Development Center opened (in 2017) in Izmir, Turkey, Supply Chain Wizard extended its consulting operations and formally started developing Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for manufacturing companies.
CEO and Founder of Supply Chain Wizard, Evren Ozkaya, Ph.D. explains the company strategy:
“I am very excited that a new chapter is starting at SCW to broaden its impact in the world of supply chain & manufacturing. With this new chapter, SCW.AI, as an independent new entity will focus on having a sustainable, meaningful & measurable impact in manufacturing companies in the Pharmaceutical industry and beyond via its Digital Factory technology platform powered by Microsoft Azure Cloud. While our consulting business will continue to be a trusted partner for leading pharma manufacturers in the areas of serialization, traceability and digital supply chain transformation. With SCW.AI, our vision is to build the next generation “operating system” for manufacturing companies to achieve highly automated / self-driving factories, which will support the ultimate goal of creating self-learning and self-driving supply chains. In today’s age, digitalization is no longer a competitive advantage, it is the only way to compete.”
