3 EXPERTLY DEALING WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS The manufacturing sector is changing at an astonishing rate, driven by disruptive technologies. In this context, digital supply chains are key to operating more efficiently and embracing innovation: only those who leverage digitalization to their advantage in making data-driven decisions will remain competitive and able to deal with increasing complexity and cost pressures To support business goals, supply chains require tools that enable quick responses to external and inter-nal demands. That s why digital platforms are a must when transforming transportation networks into collaborative ecosystems. Introducing a Transportation Management System (TMS) ensures that the same set of data is shared with your suppliers, carriers & partners, and that it s processed centrally while being used and evaluated throughout the network. Moreover, bringing data onto a true cloud plat-form with full transparency and accuracy can lead to significant cost savings.
