Turn supply chain exposure into business opportunity through data

For businesses the world over, relying on a complex global supply chain can unwittingly be sailing close to an iceberg. Coral reefs are a known source of risk and uncertainty, but it can seem impossible to fully understand or map them. Now, the confluence of data availability and technical capabilities is changing the supply chain risk management game. And learning the new rules can open up extraordinary opportunities. (Read more)

Could AI be the solution to companies’ supply chain conundrum?

Rapid advances in technology, including AI, have enabled companies to produce detailed maps of the precise origins of their materials and components. We’ve been working with clients to help them piece together the many links in their supply chain, which have previously been completely invisible to them.

This is particularly important with regards to large-scale disruptions, where there may not be one sole response to an event and the impacts could be enterprise-wide. (Read more)
