Product development and sourcing is inextricably linked to the downstream supply chain activities that follow, like trade compliance and logistics. But these functions have traditionally been siloed – sourcing teams going about their jobs independent of the impact on trade compliance and logistics teams, and vice versa.
Now, teams from both sides have a new perspective, as shown in a recent American Shipper survey; supply chain executives understand the need for these departments to work in concert. The trouble is, few companies have the technology to empower this integrated approach to the supply chain. Few even understand which system can best tie these activities together. The silos between sourcing and logistics extend to technology investment as well.
During this webinar, industry experts explore how companies should approach the integration of sourcing with global trade and logistics functions, the role technology plays in that approach, and which technology is best suited to drive success.
Highlights include:
- Results of an American Shipper study measuring sourcing automation ROI
- Firsthand analysis from a supply chain system IT expert
- Discussion of which technologies are best suited for sourcing and logistics collaboration
