About supply chain solutions
UiPath supply chain solutions are industry- or department-focused solutions that help organizations make informed decisions across complex supply chain operations. They support planning and decision-making scenarios where scale, variability, and competing objectives make manual or rule-based approaches difficult to sustain.
UiPath supply chain solutions are currently delivered through Peak, UiPath’s decision intelligence platform for supply chain use cases.
Supply chain solutions generate recommendations and insights that help teams balance service levels, cost, and commercial outcomes. They complement existing enterprise systems and UiPath automation by informing actions related to inventory, pricing, and merchandising, without executing transactions directly.
Supply chain solutions are typically used by organizations that need to improve consistency, speed, and confidence in decisions across inventory planning, commercial pricing, and merchandising activities.
Solutions covered in this guide
This guide covers the following supply chain solutions:
- UiPath solution for inventory management
- UiPath solution for commercial pricing
- UiPath solution for merchandising
Each solution is documented in its own chapter.
Who supply chain solutions are for and what they enable
UiPath supply chain solutions are used by teams that plan, optimize, and oversee supply chain decisions. Each role uses the solutions in different ways, depending on the decisions they are responsible for.
- Supply chain planners and inventory managers plan inventory across products and locations by evaluating demand, supply, and service-level trade-offs and acting on replenishment and optimization recommendations.
- Commercial and pricing teams support pricing decisions in manufacturing and retail contexts by assessing pricing options against demand behavior, cost, and business objectives.
- Merchandising and category teams plan assortments and promotions by aligning merchandising actions with inventory availability and pricing strategy.
- Operations and analytics teams monitor performance, investigate exceptions, and assess the impact of supply chain decisions across the organization.
Business users are the primary audience for these solutions. Data, IT, and platform teams typically support adoption by enabling integrations and data availability but are not the primary users.
Where supply chain solutions fit and how they are delivered
Supply chain solutions are part of the UiPath agentic automation platform. They work alongside core UiPath products to support decision-making and execution across supply chain operations.
The solutions commonly work with UiPath Automation Cloud products such as Maestro, Orchestrator, and Apps to enable coordinated, human-in-the-loop workflows. While the solutions generate recommendations and insights, execution remains in the customer’s existing systems and processes.

- Improve decision quality across complex supply chain networks
