These ecosystems need to correlate their information to unlock strategies for greater efficiencies, improve customer service and solid continuous improvement," said Rich Katz, Chief Technology Officer, Elemica. "This online episode outlines how to best achieve E2EV with technology that provides global businesses with the ability to monitor real-time tracking of shipments, uncover potential supply chain risks or discover areas for improvement within their supply chain."


"Achieving real-time, end-to-end supply chain visibility remains a top priority for companies across all industries," said Adrian Gonzalez. "But it hasn't been an easy goal to achieve, and in many ways, it's gotten more difficult. Advancements in technology, however, are helping companies to address some of the challenges involved, as well as to expand the role and benefits of supply chain visibility. It was a pleasure having Rich on the program to share his insights and advice on this timely and important topic."

"How Advances in Technology are Facilitating Real-Time End-To-End Supply Chain Visibility" identifies and discusses the following challenges enterprises face today: data acquisition, disparate data, dynamic environments, outsourcing, globalization and product corporation. Attendees will learn about technologies that provide granularity into supply chain data for better analytics, decision support, and actionable advice. They will also learn how technologies can foster collaboration by synchronizing data (ensuring trading partners utilize the same terminology) and improve customer service through employing predictive analytics on supply chain data.
