With advances in IoT sensors and the growth of blockchain, the key to forecasting and planning is understanding where everything is in the supply chain. Real-time supply chain visibility will advance quick turnaround solutions, unlock critical asset planning, and further the need for predictive health monitoring. Real-time analytics, combined with AI tools, will reduce lead times, increase shipping efficiency, and in the long term, improve supply chain sustainability.
The implications of real-time data:
- Allow retail stores to understand where their stock is, freeing up cash
- Enable larger shifts in short-term customer demand
- Minimize food waste
- Reduced carbon footprint through better planning and optimized shipping routes
