INSIGHT DATA WILL FUEL SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY & AGILITY Supply chain organizations need to focus on reinventing their operating models to break silos, develop end-to-end visibility, and create an agile and seamless collaboration model. New data sources and advanced analytics can make this possible. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), companies can process massive and diverse data sets from across all functions in order to provide better visibility within the supply chain. With AI, companies can extend that visibility by adding data from sensors at customer locations, end-consumer devices, multiple points of sale, and external data warehouses. And, they’ll be able to tap into new data sources in the market, like social media sentiment, to spot trends, anticipate needs, and respond faster, and with more agility, than they do today. This data can form the foundation to reinvent supply chains as customer centric, service oriented, self-learning, intelligent and agile, and, in so doing, improve customer experiences and increase margins.
