For many years supply chain security appears to have been something of a second-tier priority for both software developers and the companies that rely upon their product. It was more common to focus attention on what happens after the software is built, through code reviews, penetration testing, and the development and implementation of patches and updates. This type of approach overlooks the very real possibility that, even with all the efforts mentioned above, end users still have no guarantee they are actually installing the application originally conceived as a code base. Over time, this somewhat myopic vision has given malicious actors multiple opportunities to insert malware or damage images. But, recent events have rapidly forced the industry to take a wider perspective on how software security is defined.

The internet of things plays a key role in the future of urban mobility. As cities grow in size and complexity, transportation solutions require a more strategic approach. Increasingly, public transportation companies, as well as freight/cargo companies and operators of heavy equipment fleets, are looking for IoT technology systems to produce actionable insights from vehicle data. Companies need to provide their fleets with new capabilities that will transform the transportation experience—and that is just the start of mobility’s evolution.

As electric vehicle (EV) adoption amongst public and private fleets increases, meeting the energy needs of these vehicles with clean electricity is imperative to the transition to a carbon-free future. Because of the variable and intermittent nature of renewable energy technologies, energy storage will be essential. Today’s grid has been built on the concept of constantly available, stand-by power; tomorrow’s grid must capture and store energy when the sun doesn’t shine or when the wind is still.

The battery-electric truck market is at an early stage, with fewer than 60,000 units in circulation worldwide, including approximately 20,000 units sold in 2021. Ninety percent of these were sold in China, and most were on the lighter side of the category, between 3.5 and 8 tons. However, significant growth in the market is expected in the coming years as more governments and truck manufacturers set combustion engine truck sales phase-out targets, more models become available, and production capacity is increased. A robust charging infrastructure ecosystem, along with sufficient grid capacity, must be deployed early enough not to impede the growth of the electric vehicle fleet.

Reshoring to replace offshoring—an era of sustainability? Recent results from our five-month survey with internationally active Tier 1 automotive suppliers have shown that CEOs and Heads of Operations and Sustainability are starting to rethink their global footprint. Every supplier involved in our study has a global production network, has previously offshored manufacturing activities to low-wage countries, and is thus exposed to reshoring and sustainability decisions.

In recent years, the P2P process has moved from being seen as a cost center to becoming a strategic driver. Get it right and organizations benefit from higher process efficiencies, larger cost savings, better inventory control, improved supply chain visibility and faster order cycle times. Highly effective P2P operations build supplier relationships that facilitate the levels of resilience, agility and innovation required to meet challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic. This white paper examines the digital tools helping to optimize your P2P performance.
