Integrated Supply Chains: Achievements and a look to the Future

High Tech companies have focused on core processes (Ordering, Forecast, Logistic data, Invoice, etc.) in their supply chain to achieve an effective integration level with their partners in order to increase speed and flexibility, reduce manual handling and cost.

Can integrated supply chain solutions fulfil the expectations of companies and what are the key lessons learned to become even better?

In the future companies face even more cost pressures and requirements from their customers to provide the correct product, with the right volume at the right time in the right place. Hence requirements regarding efficient and effective supply chain processes are and will become a key competitive advantage.

What role will B2B (process and automation definitions) play to support the fulfilment of these requirements and help companies to stay one step ahead against their competition, using solutions that fit any size partner?
