As the COVID-19 crisis evolves, there is a growing pressure to achieve higher visibility of the supply chain. However, with the rise in consumer demand and regulatory compliances, coupled with the increase in complexity of the supply chains, attaining a clear visibility seems more difficult than ever.
Having an in-depth view of the supply chain also enables businesses to tackle crisis that may evolve in the future with early warning capability and decision making, unlocking new innovative solutions as well as igniting collaborations.
The aim of this webinar is to kick start the conversation to discuss what are the key challenges that the corporates currently face and how startups can possibly provide technological solutions to address these issues.
