Claim 3: “Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like o9 have become integral to building supply chain resilience”

MISLEADING

While the evidence confirms that ERP systems are used for business process management and supply chain execution, and that o9 is a planning platform, o9 is specifically marketed as an 'AI-powered planning platform' or 'Integrated Business Planning' (IBP) solution rather than a traditional ERP. The claim conflates the two categories.
