Propel Your Autonomous Supply Planning Journey
A Virtual Wine Tasting Session
About the Event
Supply chain visibility is a big problem. A recent survey found that 69% of companies don’t have complete visibility into their supply chains, and 48% of retailers and consumer goods companies still track their supply chains using spreadsheets. This is worrisome, considering how fast-paced, fragmented, and complex supply chains are today. Traditional linear supply chain models just can’t keep up.
To adapt to the changing market and meet the needs of today’s consumers, Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) and Retail companies need to incorporate autonomous processes into their supply chain planning and execution. But to do that, they need timely, granular visibility into demand, inventory, and customer buying trends across all channels.
