Enable intelligent, end-to-end visibility and transparency
Europe & MEA Supply Chain Academy – Free digital event
Join us for a four week digital academy with sessions around how to reinvent the way you manage your supply chain. Learn how you can use AI and Blockchain, see how to manage disruptions with end to end visibility, get insights on how to build a smarter cognitive supply chain and how to digitize your entire supply business.
Overview
Gain visibility into transactions and inventory
Supply chain visibility is the ability of stakeholders throughout the supply chain to access real-time data related to the order process, inventory, delivery and potential supply chain disruptions.
Lack of transaction and inventory visibility continues to be a significant challenge. Solutions with embedded AI capabilities provide real-time intelligence and actionable recommendations to reduce disruption mitigation time. Data-driven insights help you uncover previously unseen savings opportunities to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. You can also help securely extend shared, near-real-time visibility to trading partners, suppliers and customers — and establish provenance — with blockchain.
How will your supply chain survive the age of disruption?
