As evidenced both during the early stages of the global pandemic and in the months that followed, some organizations quickly fell behind the curve when business dynamics changed. When organizations needed to be flexible and make changes rapidly, supply chain visibility came to the forefront as a critical must-have.
“In an attempt to keep pace, supply chain leaders either looked to IT to help customize their existing core systems, bought expensive point software solutions, or scrambled to manage workflows in DIY tools like spreadsheets and e-mail,” says Kayla Mackay, Solutions Marketing Manager at Quickbase. “Despite all these efforts, supply chain leaders are still constrained by unresponsive, inflexible systems and a lack of visibility into supplier data.”
