“Driving Smart Sourcing with Innovative Technology”
With a new administration shaking up global trade policy, tax structures and more, sourcing got a lot more complicated in 2018. What hasn’t changed is the challenges that were already on the board: converging shopping channels; the imperative for clear visibility in supply chains; complex fulfillment and distribution systems; and the pressure to get the sourcing mix right. Smart sourcing strategies will blend industry intelligence, the latest technologies and collaborative partnerships with responsible and responsive players. Are You Prepared?
