Today’s global supply chains can be torn apart by politics, weather, currency and commodity fluctuations, among other unpredictable events. Winning distributors rely on their technology infrastructure investments to cope with these fluctuations. Leading companies focus on adding the right inventory mix, expanding geographically and honing in on capital appreciation. Next-generation solutions optimize critical functions, including inventory tracking, traceability, procurement, and logistics, giving managers the real-time visibility and decision-making capability they need across warehouses, transportation networks, e-commerce, and supplier networks.
