Digital Supply Chains: Present and Future Opportunities

As part of Supply Chain Week 2022, Esther Chan, Senior Manager of Global SCM of Requis, led a lively panel discussion with end users and technology providers about digital supply chain management developments. Ms. Chan opened the session by asking the panel, “How are industry leaders approaching digital supply chain (SC) solutions?”

Nari Viswanathan, Senior Director of Product Segment Marketing of Coupa Software, stated, “There are more constraints and challenges affecting SC management. Consequently, managers must incorporate digital technologies to make SCs more resilient. To be successful, companies must have in place the people, processes, and technologies addressing SC management issues.”

Amit Varma, CEO of Braintoy, added, “SC managers must focus on predicting what will happen and taking insightful action. With digital tools such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), SC managers can convert volumes of real-time data into knowledge and drive the most value from this data.”
