In real estate, the mantra is “location, location, location.” In the finance world, we often hear that “cash is king.” But as a marketer in the supply chain sector, my experience is that there is a different mantra and another king, and that’s data. Data has emerged as the cornerstone of effective decision-making. Granted, marketing and supply chain management are distinct domains; but as a marketer of supply chain solutions, I can’t help but see the parallels, and how they both rely on data-dri

Getting started with AI in supply chain might not start where you think. Some try delving into deep learning or a crash course in generative AI (GenAI), but I don’t recommend starting there.

Second, avoid islands of isolation and limited impact by integrated AI into your supply chain so the results are aligned end to end.

Data will not disappear as a result of the enactment of privacy laws and regulations; however, privacy laws and regulations do make the collection, storage, and analysis of data more complicated.
