The need for Digital Supply Chain transformation

Global Supply Chains are disrupted.

A shortage of shipping containers emerged, shipping rates for certain routes skyrocketed, congestion developed at international ports that then spread to railroads and inland rail terminals, aggravating the trucking and carriage shortage that was already in place. U.S. importers experienced delays in receiving key manufacturing components and exporters faced challenges accessing containers and getting bookings on shipping vessels and so much more.

Today, many companies are realizing that resilience can be purchased at the expense of efficiency but organisations are exploring new ways to improve their resiliency strategies so that the efficiency is not compromised. Due to the rapid pace of global competition and the increasing number of disruptions, the supply chain functions need to step up their game. As supply chains become more complex and interconnected, their visibility into real-time operations is becoming more critical. At Pluto7, we help our customers achieve supply chain planning that is powered by AI helping them make better decisions with respect to their assets and operations.

Pluto7’s goal of supply chain transformation is to align the supply chain’s operational efficiency. which requires a step by step approach. As businesses experienced shutdown post pandemic the supply chain weaknesses in the ecosystems were revealed. Organisations were in urgent need of relying on solutions that could equip them rapid decision making capabilities at scale.
