4flow unveils optaire AI platform for real-time supply chain optimization

4flow has launched optaire, an AI-native platform for end-to-end supply chain and logistics optimisation, at the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™ 2026. The modular platform helps businesses respond to disruptions, reduce costs and maintain service levels through continuous risk detection and real-time decision modelling. Unlike conventional platforms that optimise in cycles, optaire continuously identifies disruptions and creates alternative plans through AI embedded across logistics, network and risk management workflows. A shared data ontology enables the platform to operate from a unified view, turning data into real-time decisions that reduce logistics costs and improve delivery commitments. The platform integrates with existing ERP, TMS and WMS systems and allows organisations to build custom modules. Founded in 2000, 4flow operates from over 20 offices worldwide with more than 1,400 employees.
