Research firm Zero100 has launched Peerworks, an initiative connecting supply chain practitioners from companies including Google and Meta to develop implementation strategies for agentic AI. The program organizes over 20 global brands into three councils tasked with creating a practical playbook for AI deployment.
Why it matters
The initiative aims to bridge a gap in real-world guidance for large enterprises attempting to integrate agentic AI—systems capable of autonomous decision-making—into complex supply chain workflows. It provides a collaborative forum for operational leaders to share methods for navigating technical, process, and human-capital challenges.
The initiative coordinates 45 total members across three distinct councils focused on the PowerThreads framework, which segments operations into Signal-to-Plan, Source-to-Supply, and Inventory-to-Service processes.
The players
Zero100
An industry research and benchmarking firm focused on supply chain management and digital transformation technologies.
A global technology conglomerate and founding Peerworks member known for its extensive cloud infrastructure and AI research.
Meta
A social technology company and Peerworks participant that develops large-scale machine learning models and AI-driven automation.
The details
Peerworks functions by pooling operational data and experimental outcomes from participating firms to standardize AI deployment protocols. By targeting practitioners below the C-suite, the initiative focuses on the mechanics of end-to-end workflow integration rather than high-level strategy. These councils translate theoretical agentic AI capabilities—software agents that execute tasks autonomously across digital systems—into repeatable, cross-functional processes.
Timeline
October 30, 2026: Zero100 officially launched the Peerworks initiative.
Throughout 2027: The three practitioner councils will convene to document their findings.
The Tech Race
Peerworks marks a shift from isolated corporate pilot programs to a collaborative effort to establish standardized best practices for autonomous supply chain systems. It builds on the established PowerThreads framework to organize disparate organizational experiments into a singular, industry-wide playbook.
Supply chain practitioners can expect to gain access to a living playbook that documents real-world AI implementation hurdles and successes throughout 2027. The project aims to provide practical guidance on how to integrate autonomous software agents into existing enterprise resource planning environments.
The takeaway
The initiative represents a move toward collective standardization in a field where many firms are currently working in silos. Practitioners should look for the inaugural playbook releases scheduled for throughout 2027 to assess how these councils define successful agentic AI integration.
