Suerken praised Palantir's platform and said it was "so much better" than spreadsheets and other customary inventory management methods. He also said the return on investment is "significant." 

Wendy's recently asked the supply chain program to identify shortages restaurants could face over the following three weeks and then staff trained the model by showing how the shortages should be solved. Wendy's purchasing group plans to eventually allow the AI model to manage smaller inventory and ordering tasks autonomously and without human intervention. 

"Three or four years from now, if you're not doing this, you'll be at a distinct disadvantage," said Suerken. "This is something that, as an industry, will change the way we work." 

WEN, PLTR Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, Wendy's shares are down 1.54% at $20.08 and Palantir shares are down 2.13% at $54.32 at the time of publication Thursday.
