Supply Chains & Unicorns - Known to Everyone, Seen by No One
(Practical Steps for Supply Chain Visibility)
| |
In industrial settings, the absence of supply chain visibility and automation is a problem stuck in a “we’ve always done it this way” rut. Manufacturers and distributors export open order reports from ERPs then request updates from suppliers via phone, email, and spreadsheet sharing. It’s a nightmare for everyone involved, both customers and suppliers.
Cost, quality, and delivery have been, are, and will always be key performance imperatives. To remain competitive, supply chain, purchasing, and operations teams need visibility and workflow automation. In this talk, PJ Bellomo will give a peek into current and future low-cost solutions that streamline this 40-year-old visibility and automation problem.
