Building Resilient and Agile Supply Chains Leveraging Data, Analytics, and Automation

In 2024, supply chain professionals are constantly navigating a myriad of supply chain challenges, ranging from managing diverse product portfolios and predicting fluctuations in demand and supply to complying with regulatory shifts and mitigating geopolitical risks. Amidst these complexities, the enduring impact of the pandemic on the industry emphasizes the critical need for resilient and adaptable supply chains. This research explores how organizations are leveraging data, analytics and automation to build resilient and agile supply chains. While data, analytics and automation have been integral to supply chain management across industries for decades, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) necessitates companies to reevaluate their approach and portfolio to establish a reliable single source of truth for supply chain data, enhancing visibility and enabling advanced analytics, all while maintaining accessibility and user-friendliness.

When SAPinsider researched building resilient supply chains utilizing data, analytics and automation in 2023, we identified a focus on building an integrated planning and analytics capability on a centralized, enriched, and harmonized data foundation, that can support all forms of analytics seamlessly, as the most critical capability on the minds of SAPinsiders. However, at the time, this need seemed hindered by lack of integration capabilities with other systems, further contributing to data fragmentation and complicated planning. To better understand the shift in the technological landscape and its impact on building resilient and agile supply chains leveraging data, analytics and automation, SAPinsider surveyed 133 business, IT and supply chain professionals between January and April 2024 on the challenges, opportunities, and tools or services they have or would like to employ. The survey also sought to understand the requirements and success metrics used in implementing data, analytics and automation solutions, as well as ascertain the significance of cloud capabilities to organizations.
