Buyer’s Guide for Supply Chain Network Design Software

The world’s most profitable companies have built their success on an effective and responsive supply chain network. A network that reacts swiftly to changing business conditions, adapts to customer preferences and can flex for fast growth.

This type of network has become a north star for many supply chain organizations. But achieving this is easier said than done. Network design as a discipline is complex and too many businesses are still relying on spreadsheets to design and optimize their supply chain.

As a result, most organizations struggle to answer network design questions or test hypotheses in weeks. Let alone days, and certainly not hours.

Proactive risk assessment of disruptions like trade disputes, unexpected supplier issues and extreme weather events are rarely executed. Reactive assessment post- event is the norm.

This Buyer’s Guide helps you find easy-to-use technology to become more proactive and less reactive when it comes to network design and optimization.

It presents the findings of a recent network maturity quiz carried out among dozens of supply chain professionals and draws on Supply Chain Insights' research findings on this topic. Read on to uncover how you can provide a happy path for your team to master network design and analytics.
