Supply chain technology is the use of digital tools and applications to improve the efficiency, visibility, and transparency of the supply chain. These technologies can help businesses to track inventory, manage logistics, and collaborate with suppliers in real time.
Some of the most common supply chain technologies include:
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software: ERP software integrates all of a company's business functions, including accounting, manufacturing, and sales, into a single system. This can help to improve efficiency and visibility across the supply chain.
- Warehouse management systems (WMS): WMS software helps to track inventory levels, manage picking and packing, and optimize warehouse operations.
- Transportation management systems (TMS): TMS software helps to plan and track shipments, manage carrier relationships, and optimize freight costs.
- Cloud-based supply chain solutions: Cloud-based supply chain solutions provide businesses with a way to access and share data across the supply chain in real time. This can help to improve visibility and collaboration.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML): AI and ML are being used to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and predict future demand.
- The Internet of Things (IoT): IoT sensors can be used to track the location of goods, monitor equipment, and collect data on environmental conditions.
