Artificial intelligence is helping Philippine companies move goods more efficiently, control costs, and avoid supply disruptions, according to industry leaders who gathered at GoComet’s Manila Horizon 2026 forum at Sheraton Manila Bay.
Executives from major enterprises including Jollibee, IMI, and Century Pacific Foods said Philippine supply chains are shifting from basic shipment tracking to AI-powered systems that analyze live data, detect risks early, and support faster decision-making. This is especially important for the Philippines, which relies heavily on imports and is highly exposed to port congestion, weather disruptions, and global trade shocks.
GoComet CEO Chitransh Sahai said AI allows companies to plan ahead instead of reacting late, helping them maintain stable operations and protect service levels for Filipino consumers. By automating monitoring and data analysis, AI tools free teams to focus on planning, supplier coordination, and long-term resilience.
GoComet reported strong growth in the Philippines since entering the market in 2021, with the country now accounting for nearly 20% of its Southeast Asia customers. The company said businesses using its AI-driven platform have reduced freight costs by up to 30%, improved productivity, and increased inventory turnover, benefits that can help keep goods available and prices competitive in the local market.
During the forum, GoComet also presented new AI capabilities designed to assist logistics teams by connecting real-time port, weather, and global risk data directly to shipments and enabling users to access insights through natural language queries.
Participants agreed that wider collaboration and data-sharing across enterprises, logistics providers, and technology platforms will be key to building more resilient supply chains in the Philippines, as AI becomes an increasingly critical part of day-to-day operations rather than a future concept.
