Supply Chain

How can companies build resilient Supply Chains?

Conventional operations and disconnected processes are no longer sufficient to adapt to global supply chain disruptions and will keep companies from harvesting the benefits that emerging technologies will bring in the near future. Supply Chain leaders need to stay ahead of these challenges and opportunities by creating and embracing digital strategies that will not only focus on cost efficiencies but also support faster and more informed decision-making.

Unreliable supply

Compelling supply disruptions force procurement teams to spend extra time on price/contract management and researching and onboarding new suppliers, while expediting materials also becomes more time-consuming. These workload issues, if left unresolved, result in production impact and excessive inventory.

Insufficient visibility

Lack of visibility exacerbates issues since most companies are often unable to identify the root cause or even implement necessary corrective measures on impactful exceptions. To tackle this, Supply Chain leaders must prioritize achieving comprehensive end-to-end visibility that goes beyond engaging with tier 1 suppliers.

Lack of real-time data

Supply Chain leaders face significant challenges in achieving real-time updates due to the lack of modern and collaborative communication with their trading partners. Direct integration with suppliers is often too limited and legacy supplier portals are not built with real-time collaboration and performance visibility in mind.

4 keys to creating a future-proof supply chain for more competitiveness

Top priorities ranked by Supply Chain peers

If disruptions happen in real-time, then why is your supply chain still behind?

Recent studies show that only 31% of companies within multiple industries, including building materials, automotive, machinery & equipment, chemicals, and FMCG & retail, consistently utilize real-time data in their supply chain operations. Considering the persistent disruption and volatility, it is imperative for this statistic to improve.

In order to achieve efficiency, reduce costs, fulfill customer experience, and meet sustainability objectives, companies must be ready to embrace digital solutions to meet the supply chain goals for the next generations. We have spoken to supply chain peers among our customer base and highlighted four essential priorities that should be at the top of every Supply Chain Leader's digital transformation agenda.
