Supply Chain Visibility: Beyond the Control Tower

What's Inside

This report is part of Coresight Research’s series of roundtable discussions and research reports, entitled The New Age of Customer-First Supply Chains, in which we present key insights into strategic areas in which brands and retailers can take action to build a resilient and profitable supply chain.

We explore how intelligent supply chains go beyond the concept of a simple “control tower” to include the automated analysis and management of emerging issues and tasks for ultimate supply chain visibility. We discuss the modern, technology-powered supply chain, the benefits of supply chain visibility and leading software vendors in the space.

Read our previous reports in the series, on the four pillars to building a resilient supply chain, intelligent demand forecasting and on-demand manufacturing, and customer-centric commercial collaboration.
