Strengthening Collaboration For Smarter Supply Chains: 2023 Digital Technology Trends

VIP Dinner - New York City, NY

Jan 15, 2023 6:00 PM8:30 PM EST

Event Description

The pandemic and various geopolitical events have initiated shifts in consumer purchasing habits and disruptions in the supply chain, including material shortages, port overflows, and backlogs. So, how can you manage your supply chain operations to streamline the customer experience? Forrester expects global spending on order management system software to reach $1.9 billion by 2026, up from $1.0 billion in 2021. This almost-doubled spending reflects a five- year compound annual growth rate of 12.8%.

When handling multiple supply chain disruptions simultaneously, it’s essential to develop a resiliency strategy to recover your operations. This involves extensive planning and transparent communication with suppliers to identify and address gaps in the supply chain. Once you’ve built this strategy, you can invest in digital technologies to provide a comprehensive view of your supply chain operations and give you a competitive advantage in the market.

Discussion Topics

  • Digital trends impacting supply chain operations
  • Advice for managing supply chain operations during disruption challenges
  • How supply chain disruptions affect the digital customer experience and how to enhance it
  • Addressing ESG (environmental, social, and governance) compliance in the supply chain
  • The importance of maintaining transparency in supply chain operations
