Next-generation supply chains: Efficient, fast and tailored

PwC recently published a new survey about the "Next-generation supply chains: Efficient, fast and tailored".

Following are some key statements:

Companies that beat the competition on supply chain performance also achieve significantly better financial results. Supply chain Leaders deliver on time in full (OTIF) on 95.7% of occasions and have an impressive 15.3 inventory turns, while the Laggards achieve only 3.8 turns. That means greater efficiency and customer satisfaction without driving up working capital — essentially, having it all. Those are metrics that really impact the bottom line; the Leaders in our survey enjoy average earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins of 15.6%, whereas the Laggards can manage only 7.3%.

But, surprisingly, only 45% of respondents say their companies view the supply chain as a strategic asset, and just 9% say the supply chain is helping them outperform their peers. That needs to change, because better supply chain efficiency has a measurable impact. Supply chain managers across the globe need to step up to their top management and claim their rightful place as one of the major elements in the success — or failure — of their company.

arviem can only support these findings from its work with clients and monitoring in real-time their shipments. In average arviem can contribute to a cost reduction in the suppyl chain of 7%.
We are happy, that our happy clients and an independent survey confirm our business.

Spurious Correlations in Supply Chain Management - sneakier than you think!

  The supply chain management landscape has undergone a massive transformation recently, rendering the traditional "fax" approach obsolete. In light of this, companies are gravitating towards digital solutions, which not only streamline the entire process but also help sustain market competitiveness. The old-school methods of communication channels were heavily reliant on paper, resulting in significant inefficiencies, errors, and time delays, which were avoided with the implementation of automated solutions such as email, EDI, and other digital communication channels. As the world of technology continues to evolve, more efficient and innovative solutions are constantly emerging, helping businesses remain competitive and future-proof in their respective industries.

Hello, my fellow financial freedom fighters!

Ahoy, captains of industry! Today, we embark on a journey through the stormy waters of trade financing! Supply Chain Management is hot. Supply Chain Visibility is even more alluring. Nearly daily, you can read articles or join webinars about how important visibility has become in managing cargo worldwide. However! It's not just about moving physical goods from one place to another; it's also about the financial transactions that make that trade possible. Without trade finance, we wouldn't have a global economy. Trade finance is the backbone of the worldwide economy. It links people, businesses, and countries in a web of trust and credit. But there's a problem: The World Trade Organization estimates that US$ 2-5 trillion in trade finance capacity is needed to "just" enable a rapid recovery from the consequences of the pandemic. And there is a second problem: 1 in 2 SMEs don't receive the trade financing they need. This means they also lack the money to inve
