MVX: How to use technology for efficient supply chain management

Supply chain disruptions negatively impacted the businesses of 75% of companies in the US, according to an Accenture survey on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global supply chains.

Companies, supply chain managers, and logistics personnel are now reimagining their supply chains for better performance in uncertain times. And technology is at the core of the shift.

Supply chain efficiency and resilience are the goals of businesses in this new dispensation. They are using technology to optimize their processes and increase return on investment.

In this article, you’ll learn how to use technology for efficient supply chain management. But first,

What is Supply Chain Technology?

Supply chain technology is any digital tool businesses use to simplify their supply chain processes. The tools help companies work better and achieve set goals.
