(PRESS RELEASE) GENEVA, 14-Nov-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — SGS’s Maine Pointe division has unveiled its AI-driven TVO Control Tower™, a comprehensive solution designed to give executive leaders a clearer, faster, and more accurate understanding of their entire supply chain. Built to address the growing complexity and data intensity facing global businesses, the platform blends advanced artificial intelligence with seasoned industry expertise to help organizations achieve meaningful performance improvements and rapid returns on investment across procurement, logistics, and operations.

Developed to align with the evolving expectations placed on C-suite executives, the TVO Control Tower™ offers real-time, actionable insights that allow leaders to make confident decisions even in highly volatile market environments. As supply chains continue to encounter pressures from inflation, sustainability requirements, and the need for end-to-end transparency, the platform meets an urgent need for clarity and control across interconnected operational functions.

According to Maine Pointe CEO Joseph Esteves, organizations are increasingly challenged by fragmented systems and limited visibility into day-to-day performance. He explains that the AI-enabled Control Tower transforms overwhelming data into a unified stream of intelligence, helping companies accelerate improvements, minimize risk, and build long-term resilience. The system’s foundation is Maine Pointe’s Combined Intelligence (CI) model, which integrates AI-generated analytics with on-the-ground practitioner insight to ensure measurable results.

The TVO Control Tower™ is already in use across a wide range of industries, where it has delivered substantial financial and operational impact. In private capital, the platform provided a North American private equity firm with full transparency over procurement spending across 19 portfolio companies, enabling the discovery of more than USD 100 million in previously unrealized EBITDA. In the energy sector, it supported one of the continent’s largest producers by achieving a 10:1 return on investment and identifying over USD 250 million in annualized opportunities. Manufacturers in agriculture and industrial equipment have seen multimillion-dollar EBITDA gains through network optimization, while companies in chemicals and consumer food services have improved logistics visibility, reduced costs, and accelerated their digital maturity using the platform’s AI analytics.

Key functional strengths of the TVO Control Tower™ span the entire supply chain: planning, procurement, logistics, and operations. This includes tools for S&OP executive insights, inventory and working capital analysis, supplier risk assessment, transportation modeling, warehouse optimization, manufacturing efficiency tracking, and quality performance monitoring.

Nathanael Powrie, Senior Director of Knowledge Management & Data Analytics, emphasizes that Maine Pointe’s AI engines are designed to adapt to the specific operational environment of each client. Rather than relying on generic algorithms, the models are trained on unique datasets containing both structured and unstructured information. This tailored approach results in more reliable forecasting, scenario planning, and strategic guidance that reflect the complexities of real-world operations.

Maine Pointe continues to serve global clients seeking to unlock sustainable value and improve financial performance across their supply chains. With a reputation for transforming procurement, operations, and logistics through its Total Value Optimization™ framework, the firm typically delivers an average return on investment of 6:1 as it works with executives to break down functional silos and accelerate end-to-end improvements.

Organizations looking to regain control of their supply chain performance can now leverage the TVO Control Tower™ as a catalyst for measurable, durable transformation.
