Every Oracle quarterly release includes enhancements worth reviewing, but some are easier to overlook than others. At New Resources Consulting, our Enterprise Solutions Group prioritizes catching the critical details that clients might miss. Oracle 25C introduces a wave of AI-powered agents and the broader adoption of Redwood UX across modules. Below are key updates that stand out, particularly if you work in product lifecycle management, supply chain planning, or procurement.

🚀 Product Lifecycle Management: AI + Streamlined Item Creation

Oracle continues to modernize PLM with a next-gen user experience and more powerful tools. In 25C, item creation and editing are simplified using a spreadsheet-style grid that supports personalization and tailored views. Managing multiple COMs in one place? Now easier than ever.

An AI agent focused on product regulation and compliance standards also joins the mix. It delivers fast answers to help teams align with compliance requirements and flags risks during supplier onboarding. It ensures that product data meets governance standards, all while supporting interactive, in-context queries throughout your workflow.

This new experience boosts visibility, performance, and productivity across your PLM landscape.

📦 Supply Chain Planning: Enter the Process Advisor

Supply Chain Planning now fully integrates Redwood UX, featuring enhancements across key planning tasks. The standout? A new Process Advisor AI agent that answers planners’ questions based on your company’s policies, training guides, and documentation. Less time searching and more time planning.

Another major upgrade is that Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is now supported for production lines, giving teams better tools to align supply with demand.

The Planning Advisor also helps by identifying data quality issues before they become downstream problems, enabling more transparent and more efficient planning cycles.

📑 Procurement: Faster Insights, Smarter Negotiations

Procurement teams will appreciate the refreshed negotiation landing and sourcing pages, giving category managers quick access to the latest activity, messages, and KPIs. The layout is cleaner and more action-oriented with built-in charting options.

On the supplier side, a redesigned supplier portal offers a more modern and intuitive experience. Managing profiles and updating key information is now more efficient for suppliers, and more valuable for procurement leaders relying on accurate vendor data.

🏷️ Inventory Management: Meet Advanced Inventory for 25C

Oracle Fusion Cloud Advanced Inventory is a new addition in this release, bringing expanded support for warehouse operations. Features include:

  • Task assignments and prioritization via a new workbench
  • Mobile visibility into inventory tasks for warehouse operators
  • Support for LPNs (license plate numbers) for enhanced tracking
  • Cross-docking and truckload shipment grouping

Together, these updates make it easier to coordinate tasks, assign responsibilities, and gain real-time insight into warehouse operations.

🛠️ Asset Lifecycle Management: Repair with Confidence

Maintenance supervisors can now view service history directly within the workbench, including past closed and completed work orders, helping improve decision-making, reduce asset downtime, and control costs.

The new Maintenance Advisor AI agent also adds value by providing document-based interaction and surfacing repair suggestions based on asset history.

Oracle 25C is more than a UX update. It is a strategic shift toward AI-powered productivity across modules. Whether you manage complex supply chains, oversee product design, or streamline procurement workflows, these enhancements can help you work smarter and faster. These highlights are just a glimpse into what’s new. To explore the full scope of 25C updates and dive deeper into your area of focus, visit Oracle’s official readiness page.
