Supply Chain Built for Competitive Advantage – Part 2
Most organizations rely on legacy systems and one-off applications rather than a single integrated platform to manage their supply chain. The majority of organizations do not have a supply chain digital infrastructure that is connected, seamless, and current. In fact, a large share of survey respondents currently relies on a slew of individual applications instead of a single integrated platform to manage their supply chain—63% rely on a mix of different one-off applications. And when it comes to how up to date these tools are, the majority are relying either partly or entirely on old applications; 59% rely either completely or partly on a set of outdated tools. In addition, 11% use barely any tools or no tools at all to manage the supply chain. This finding leaves only 11% that have a modern, integrated digital solution for their supply chain.
Unhappy with current supply chain tools, many organizations are reimagining their digital infrastructure and IT support. Seventy-six percent of organizations are currently—or are in the planning stages of—implementing improvements to the digital infrastructure of their supply chain. In fact, 71% of executives say recent disruptions of the supply chain have caused them to rethink the supply chain technology they use. At the same time, 82% of executives do not agree that the digital tools their organization uses to manage their supply chain work well and do need improving.
