SMART SUPPLY CHAIN & PROCUREMENT
If the global crisis has taught us one thing, it’s just how critical supply chain management is.
Procurement and supply chain functions take a bigger role on a broader and deeper set of strategic responsibilities than ever before.
They go from the back office to making a direct impact to customer experience and bring value beyond the cost savings and efficient transportation.
In the new world there is no excuse to push back on sustainability measures and customer centricity in the supply chain. For the future, not only do you need to do effective risk management that creates agile and resilient supply chains, but as technology transforms the industry, you need to know how to leverage the innovations and AI-powered solutions. With the use of data and digitally enabled visibility you power the supply chain performance making your business keep up with future demands.
Join the in-depth discussions on achieving innovation, maximizing supply chain profitability and increasing visibility and flexibility to mitigate risk through digital technologies.
