Digital Supply Chain
Helps clients reinvent their end-to-end supply chains, business processes and business services outcomes to deliver cost savings with increased resilience across complex ecosystems of suppliers and customers.
Transition to a cloud-based, resilient supply chain
Supply chains are no longer linear but part of a complex, networked ecosystem. Every point along the supply chain is at risk due to continuous business disruption threats such as natural events, pandemics, cyber-attacks, terrorism and civil unrest. Current global supply chain structures are not equipped to effectively cope with these increasing numbers of unplanned disruptions such as lack of vendor and geographical diversity, low safety stock, poor data quality, integrity and security, and increased focus on tier 1 suppliers. Companies need to focus on building supply chain resiliency across the organization with a primary focus on end-to-end visibility, supply chain cost reduction, and increased resilience and sustainability.
