Sharing an insightful conversation, I had with Russell W. Goodman from SupplyChainBrain. The current #SupplyChain landscape is fraught with well-documented disruptions. At Cleo, we believe that companies with the agility to adapt their operations, will not only survive but thrive in this environment. Both integrated planning and execution systems play a critical role as well as breaking down silos to foster transparency and control across the entire supply chain. This holistic view empowers #DataDriven decision-making that keeps your customer at the center. By adopting these strategies, businesses can achieve true supply chain convergence, positioning themselves for #MarketLeadership.

🔊Bridging the Widening Supply Chain Talent Gap With AI 🎥Check out this video from SupplyChainBrain of Dawn Andre, Chief Product Officer at JAGGAER speaking at the recent Gartner Supply Chain Symposium event where she discusses the importance of knowing "who our suppliers are, and we need intelligence around that to understand how their decisions and what they do could impact our supply chains,”. "One of the key areas that will help accelerate the closure of that gap is artificial intelligence.” Dawn Andre also covers the three functions AI can help us with: 1. Minimise repetitive and low-value tasks 2. Embedded training materials; how chatbots can answer questions and direct employees 3. Process greater amounts of data 👉Read the full article here: #AI #ArtificialIntellegence #supplychainsolutions

Thanks Zach Z. and the Perficient team for sharing with me the Mid-Market Priorities for OMS success. The laser focus on cash flow management at the C-suite (rather than customer sat or maximizing top line revenue) was particularly interesting. It would be interesting to see how that changes during low-interest/non-inflationary times. https://lnkd.in/eugqxGnh

There comes a time for many businesses when their #B2B supply chain integration strategy needed to be revisited. For some, maintaining multiple in-house integration solutions or relying on various EDI vendors introduces too much complexity, not to mention lengthy trading partner onboarding times, poor visibility, and an inability to scale.    Fortunately, there’s Cleo. We’re helping our customer Bluesight, a medication tracking software provider serving the #pharma industry. to streamline B2B integrations across their supply chain. Through our work together, Bluesight and Cleo now seamlessly manage the high transaction volumes their business requires. So they can focus even more on developing exceptional Bluesight products that transform the world of medicine.   Cleo and Bluesight.
