| SUPPLY CHAIN | |
|---|---|
| Integrated Business Planning with Sustainability | Integrated Business Planning (IBP) with Sustainability moves beyond compliance to plan for long-term business viability. The fusion of IBP with sustainability ensures strategic control, alignment, and coordination across all business areas. It addresses the challenge of siloed departments, promoting a culture of integrated decision-making crucial for sustainability strategies. Effective IBP embeds sustainability into the core of business processes, aligning various departments under a unified plan and ensuring every business decision supports sustainability objectives. This holistic approach is essential for balancing financial, operational, and sustainability decisions, thus embedding sustainability into the operational DNA of the organization. |
| Sustainable Procurement | Sustainable Procurement shifts purchasing decisions to prioritise environmental and social factors alongside financial considerations, driving innovation, improving market access, and fostering supplier relationships. It is the cornerstone for its broad applicability, immediate benefits, and strategic importance. Its flexibility and marketability make it an ideal starting point for businesses at any sustainability maturity level, promising both immediate and long-term impacts. It also happens to be the gateway for gathering ESG-related data from the value chain, establishing foundations for more advanced sustainability practices. |
| Situational Awareness | Control towers are essential supply chain management composite applications providing end-to-end visibility and enabling real-time monitoring, decision-making, and coordination across the supply chain network. Designed to process vast amounts of real-time, structured and unstructured, internal and external data they are vital for situational awareness (SENSE, ANALYSE, and RESOLVE). Advanced analytics, actionable workflows and artificial intelligence help to quickly identify and resolve critical supply chain issues, reducing the disruption response time and therefore increasing resilience. |
| Traceability | End-to-end traceability is essential for modern digital supply chains, enhancing visibility, reducing business friction, and improving resilience. It reduces inefficiencies, improves inventory management, builds brand trust, ensures product safety and quality, detects fraud, reduces wastage, supports sustainability, and meets regulatory compliance. These benefits make traceability crucial for achieving supply chain transparency and sustainability goals while enhancing overall business performance. |
| ESG Data Exchange | ESG Data Exchange: Businesses face a complex challenge with collecting Scope 3 data for compliance and ambitious sustainability goals, necessitating a unified approach to data exchange. This strategic shift aims to streamline sustainability reporting and data collection, making efforts more efficient, cost-effective, and aligned with global targets. By embedding detailed emissions related data within the full chain of custody, businesses can capture and communicate essential data points accurately, fostering transparency and accountability across the value chain. |

| Customs | Customs compliance at a click captures and digitizes information and adds efficiency and accuracy, ensuring customs compliance and accurate data.

Unify your data silos, pulling together disparate data streams in real time from B2B, retail stores, eCommerce/direct-to-customer, marketplaces, carriers, 3PLs, even returns. |
| Manufacturing | Increase production at older factories; build on greenfield or brownfield sites to take advantage of nearshoring, reshoring and friendshoring opportunities; add capacity to undo backlogs; or get that factory revamp that has gone off the rails back on schedule. |
| Sourcing & Procurement | Our Partners empower you to develop and keep a robust supplier network for parts and products, a network that secures competitive pricing, reliability and takes advantage of deglobalization, nearshoring, reshoring and friendshoring. |
| Strategy | Partner your executive team with experts who have developed customized, agile and executable supply chain strategies for the largest companies on the planet – strategies that enable true value creation. |

|---|---|
| Transportation & Freight Forwarding | Solve the complexity and capacity issues that skyrocket costs, curtail service levels and damage your brand’s reputation. Plug your enterprise into networks for seamless ground transport in Europe/North America and foreign-to-foreign service across the globe. |

| Real Estate | Develop the right strategy – and find the right sites – for your industrial facilities, whether you need support for reshoring or nearshoring manufacturing, unichannel distribution or fulfillment and specialty warehousing. |
