Manufacturers understand the importance of precise data management to assure that sufficient materials are available in order to avoid costly production downtime. Still, many continue to rely on an outdated and error-prone patchwork of spreadsheets and manual data inputs, often leading to supply shortfalls, mislabeled products and overstocking of products that are no longer needed. This webinar will demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) replaces disconnected data silos with a digitized network footprint of all goods, services and logistics throughout the supply chain so that every decision is visible across the entire organization. AI’s machine learning capabilities remove materials guesswork by continually updating and interpreting market and customer trends to drive highly accurate predictive inventory analyses for indirect MRO, direct goods and even finished products. The webinar will also explain how complete digitization of data improves operational efficiency by harmonizing real-time, continually updated data across all departments and users, streamlining inventory management for speedy access to individual product stocks and available quantities.

As supply chains have become more global and complex, it’s clear there is a growing need for connectedness. This is why today’s global supply chain is embracing digital transformation and finding new ways to create a flexible and agile framework for business. In this webinar, we will talk about the focus on greater collaboration and integration with business systems, as trading partners look for an ecosystem that can meet all their needs and provide streamlined access to partners and suppliers. We will also cover the increased emphasis on authentication, traceability, sustainability, automation, and more.
