"Logistics Control Tower" versus "Supply-Chain Resolution Hub"


Today's main Supply Chain Challenges are complexity, visibility and risk. While automation has made supply chains more efficient, they've also become more complex and convoluted. This is why we need a new approach to managing them: the resolution hub.


To understand this new approach, we'll explore some of today's most common problems with existing control towers and how they can be solved with a resolution hub solution that monitors, detects and resolves problems at scale in real-time.

 

Today's main Supply Chain challenges are complexity. Complexity is a challenge for all organisations, but it is especially difficult for SMEs who face challenges on multiple fronts:

●    Complexity is multi-dimensional, cross-functional and international in nature. It touches every part of the business from sourcing through manufacturing and delivery to sales and marketing.

●    You can't solve this problem alone - you need an ecosystem of partners that can help you with your challenges at each step along the way.

 

Today’s logistics control towers are approaches to monitoring and managing services – basically better dashboards.

Control towers are silo-based (e.g. logistics control tower), meaning that they collect data from multiple sources but don't share it across departments (e.g. with risk, finance, quality) or with other organizations. This makes it difficult for teams to collaborate on issues or identify the root causes of problems in time to take action before they worsen.

Control towers are not end-to-end: They only show you part of the picture – the parts relevant to your organization's specific needs – but they don't show how different parts fit together (or don't). In other words, control towers don't solve problems; they just make them easier to see when they happen again!

 

The resolution hub, on the other hand, is an end-to-end solution that monitors, detects, and resolves problems. It's an engine. The Resolution Hub also includes workflows and AI for decision support.

The Resolution Hub is a tool that helps you get the right person to the right problem at the right time. It's a centralized location where all issues go and has a workflow system that lets you manage, prioritize and resolve problems.

 

The resolution hub is the right approach for solving problems and taking action at scale. It's an engine, not a dashboard. The resolution hub can be used by anyone who wants to make their organization more effective, from top executives to frontline workers.

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

570 Tons of Horse Shit and 57.000 Litres of Urine per Day!

The year was 1894, and London had been dealing with the "Great Manure Crisis" for years, and the Times had predicted that every street would be buried under nine feet of manure. Urban planners needed help with what to do about the situation. New technologies in the form of motorized vehicles started to make a difference. Introduced on a massive scale, they allowed for easier transportation of goods and people throughout the city and reduced waste accumulation in public areas. Still uncertain about how this new technology would affect their society, urban planners decided to give it a chance and began introducing motorized vehicles into the city streets little by little until, eventually, enough cars were running around that the Great Manure Crisis finally came to an end in 1912. Little did anyone know then that this invention would continue to shape our world for centuries more to come — from Charles Lindbergh's first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927 up until

REVOLUTION - Transforming Global Trade with Collaboration in Supply Chain

Throughout history, humanity has strived to make our lives easier. We have gone from manual work to mechanic and analog processes to digitalized ones. Now, we are entering a third revolution that will change global trade and supply chain management as we know it: the transition from dissonance to resonance – or collaboration, as I would call it. Global trade and supply chains are essential to a business's operations, but they face several significant challenges today. The processes involved in managing these operations have traditionally been linear and one-dimensional. This has led to a silo-focused approach to planning and execution, with a singular focus on cost and quality provided by highly fragmented service and solution providers. This fragmented dissonance has severe limitations regarding agility, resilience, and sustainability – three factors crucial for global trade success in the 21st century. The current mindset of supply chain management is linear and one-dimensional;
