Collaborative platforms: vital to the Supply Chain

The complexity of logistics processes, the digital transformation and the rise of the omnichannel are all realities that justify the need for companies to optimize their Supply Chain orchestration. More than useful, collaborative platforms are therefore essential in this context. Today, the use of such a tool opens up many development opportunities for companies. These include:

• Cost reduction, because different applications are regrouped onto a single platform;
• Process automation, which increases employee productivity by eliminating time-consuming manual tasks;
• improving stakeholder communication, ensuring continuous access to information.
