The supply chains of many organizations are becoming increasingly complex.

Most organizations don’t fully understand their supply chain. Companies often underestimate the number of businesses, actors, and countries involved in different stages of producing their products.

Public health threats and geopolitical events are just a few challenges to global supply chains—and they all appear to be happening concurrently. Whether you’re talking about business-to-consumer or business-to-business supply chains, the impact of these events has been undeniable.

Today’s supply chains are driven by the competitive tenets of e-commerce – speed, accuracy and access to a broad inventory – all delivered at low cost. This mandate has driven distribution centers to become increasingly complex and dependent on automation systems, while raising the stakes to threaten critical damage in the event of cost overruns or project delays. Concentrating supplier responsibility for these automation projects with a single, lead provider simplifies vendor management and accountability, enabling companies to approach a single point of contact and avoid juggling delays and charges from multiple contractors.
