Taming your supply chain isn’t a data problem
It’s a clarity problem. The right BI can help you see the one crucial thing you’re missing. We explore examples from real businesses we’ve helped and share 5 principles of best BI practice.
One of the more challenging aspects of supply chain management is that — compared to even a few years ago — we live in a world of considerable logistical uncertainty. The Swiss clock reliability of on-time delivery has given way to volatility. Shipping rates are rising. The days of running a simple, linear supply chain and a traditional shipping playbook have passed. And yet, opportunities are everywhere to do things better — from the game-changing impact of automation and AI to the practical grind of building stronger financial models and smarter tracking tools.
How to mitigate the risk of supply chain cyberattack
In the last year alone, supply chain attacks have increased by over 400%.

We’re emerging into a time of unprecedented supply chain security risk.
This white paper synthesizes three overlapping fields of knowledge — data security, supply chain risk analysis, and supply chain optimization — to present an objective and accurate picture of supply chain cybersecurity in a post-Covid world.
