Every branch of the retail industry – from customer service and transportation to production have been largely benefitted by the digital transformation. Diverting the attention towards a prominent process in the retail industry is supply chain management.
Intelligent supply chain management is changing the game for traditional retailers, warehouses, consumers, and employees alike. The adoption of intelligent supply chain solutions is due to the advantage of reducing costs, improving profitability, and enabling competitive advantage for your organisation.
What Does It Look Like?
Historically, traditional supply chains were manual and lacked accuracy levels. However, with the advent of innovative technologies, there has been an increase in the rate of accuracy, business trend, and customer behaviour. Today, businesses are harnessing these solutions by taking full-charge of the latest retail digital transformation technologies like machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, predictive analytics and unified commerce.Role of Intelligent Supply Chain Solutions
Supply chains are more complex when a product is offered as a service. Considering the onus on businesses with a product as a service, it becomes necessary for an intelligent supply chain mainly to enable three key things:- Delivering the right products, resources, parts, and service as per the requirement.
- Achieving a balance between customer-service and budget requirements.
- Shorter product life cycles require faster, smarter, speed and innovation across the complex value chains.
