The progression towards digitalizing supply chains isn't just a trend – it's a business imperative. However, lingering questions about what digitalization entails, its impact, and the tangible benefits it delivers to enterprises, continue to persist. Accenture reports that 77% of CEOs agree that digital adoption needs to accelerate. Moreover, Gartner suggests that by 2023, at least 50% of large global companies will be using AI, advanced analytics and IoT in supply chain operations.
