Improve Supply Chain Visibility by Embracing Innovative Technology
July 19, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
FreeIt may seem like disruptions in your supply chain are frustrating inevitabilities, but that’s only half true. While they are inevitable, they don’t have to be frustrating. There’s a way to predict and often prevent them. You can also create a system that mitigates disruption when it does happen. The solution starts with visibility: The more transparency you have into each step of your logistics operation, the better you will be able to use it to help you succeed in a competitive marketplace.
In this webinar you’ll learn about:
- New technologies that are helping improve visibility
- Capturing and analyzing correct data to increase efficiency
- Using historical data to plan for and mitigate supply chain disruption
