In current times, the industrial sector has encountered many challenges such as economic uncertainty, changing consumer purchasing patterns, short-lived product lifecycles, increased product choices, and stricter compliance stipulations.
With altering consumer preferences and unpredictable buying patterns, both retailers and suppliers are stocking limited inventory, which in turn creates supply chain delays. In such a scenario, retailers are also facing a challenge to optimize the supply chain network, manage several suppliers for a multitude of sales channels all over the world, and keep a check on logistics costs.

In the last 10 years, the ubiquity of smart mobile devices has dramatically propelled organizations in this area. Today’s enterprise mobility tools provide unparalleled supply chain visibility and transparency, thus empowering enterprises to address concerns in the entire value chain.
