Round Table Debate: Transforming global supply chain operations
Global supply chains involve many moving parts. They also involve multiple parties, and often demand multimodal means of transportation to successfully deliver shipments to their destinations.
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are becoming increasingly important in this space to give organisations end-to-end shipment visibility. This enables improved on-time delivery, reduces waste, and gives access to critical shipment information. That said, however, many businesses wanting to reap these benefits do not have the necessary IoT skills, and consequently struggle to successfully deploy the optimal location tracking solutions for their unique business needs. To overcome these challenges, businesses must gain a thorough understanding of IoT ecosystems and should adopt a comprehensive, strategic approach to supply chain transformation.
In this Round Table webinar on March 26th, 2019, several leading IoT experts – including a senior US academic with long-term business experience, a top UK-based research analyst, and the Senior Vice president of a Location Tracking solutions vendor – will share their expertise with you. The 1-hour discussion will be Moderated by Jeremy Cowan, editorial director of IoT Now.
