AI-powered layer connects data from across the business and enables teams to build dashboards, automate workflows and create custom logic in hours, not months.
New York City, NY - August 31, 2026 - b2wise, a global leader in Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning, today announced the launch of CommWise.ai, an AI-powered platform designed to remove the complexity, time and IT dependency traditionally involved in adapting business systems.
CommWise.ai was developed around a simple principle: as the world becomes more complex, business solutions need to be simpler and adapt faster.
New information, tools and processes are constantly required to support business needs that were never considered when the original system was designed. Yet traditional systems can take months, sometimes years, to adapt, and by the time a new solution is delivered with a hefty price tag, the requirement may already have changed.
CommWise.ai changes that. It connects data from virtually any source and enables teams to rapidly create dashboards, reports, workflows, diagnostics, applications and custom business logic.
What historically required lengthy IT projects can now be created and adapted in hours.
For b2wise customers, CommWise.ai is fully integrated into the b2wise platform and is built around what the company calls its Common 80% / Unique 20% principle.
b2wise believes roughly 80% of supply chain planning requirements are common across most businesses. Companies need forecasts, supply plans, scheduling, capacity planning and S&OP. That common 80% should be delivered through a proven, structured planning platform.
The remaining 20% is what makes each business different.
CommWise.ai allows customers to rapidly adapt at the edge of that platform, creating the unique workflows, reports, logic and processes they need without complicating the core system.
“Our objective at b2wise is clear: make planning simpler,” said Kevin Boake, Global CEO of b2wise. “The common 80% should be stable, proven and easy to use. CommWise.ai gives customers the freedom to rapidly create the 20% that makes their business unique.”
“Your best planner usually already knows the answer to the problem. It is often sitting in their head or in a spreadsheet only they understand. CommWise.ai allows them to turn that knowledge into something the whole business can use, almost instantly.”
While CommWise.ai was developed within supply chain planning, the technology can be applied much more broadly.
It can sit alongside and integrate with other business platforms, including ERP, CRM and enterprise applications such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Salesforce, giving teams the ability to improve processes and create new capabilities around the systems they already use.
That wider opportunity has already been proven inside b2wise itself.
“CommWise.ai has exploded in usage within our own company,” Boake said. “Many of our mission-critical internal processes are now built using it. We use it every day, so we know the speed, flexibility and value it can create.”
A central principle remains that AI supports people rather than replaces them.
“AI should make people more capable, not remove them from the decision-making process,” Boake said. “The person using the system understands the business and owns the decision. Our job is to give them the ability to build what they need and understand exactly how it works.”
Early users have highlighted the freedom of being able to create solutions themselves:
“I told my wife, ‘Oh, I had an amazing day today because look what I can make myself now in one day,’” said Gijs van Maasacker, S&OP Manager at Fruity Line.
“For me, that captures what is so exciting,” Boake said. “Instead of telling people what the software can do, we can now ask: what do you need, and what can we create?”
The 48-Hour Challenge
To demonstrate the speed of CommWise.ai, b2wise is launching its 48-Hour Challenge, inviting businesses to submit a significant business challenge and committing to return a working solution within 48 hours.
Beginning September 1, selected challenges will also be built during a 12-part LinkedIn Live series hosted by Martin Sewell, Chief Innovation Officer, and Laura Monroe, US Director of Marketing.
CommWise.ai is available to b2wise customers beginning September 1, 2026.
