The ability to rapidly respond to disruptive events in a sustainable manner is a critical capability for most enterprises. The key is to minimize the impact on cost and quality. How can supply chain leaders operationalize supply chain resilience to create value in the supply chain? The answer: They must have total visibility into inventory, order management, pricing, forecasting and more. A buy-sell solution — a multiparty platform for customers, suppliers, LSPs and trading partners — is a fresh approach that supports convergence while minimizing risk, disruptions and shortages. This tactic improves the balance sheet without sacrificing service levels. In this webinar — How A Buy-Sell Solution Can Operationalize Supply Chain Resilience To Create Value — GEP experts Alex Zhwill outline what you need and how you can benefit from this innovative buy-sell business process. On the Agenda: · Capabilities such as forecast collaboration and inventory management ensure the optimization of supply chains while controlling costs · Real-time collaboration with embedded context yields greater accuracy and productivity — which can’t happen without improved internal and external stakeholder experiences · Optimizing inventory and minimizing CapEx investments enable enterprises to be more nimble in pursuing market opportunities and improving resiliency
