MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Repercussions from the pandemic, geopolitical instability, extreme weather events have continued to negatively influence commodity prices, demand, supply, labor, and transportation.

“Today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment means organizations need the ability to quickly align upstream and downstream activities from a single user interface or unified platform,” said Research Manager Isaac Gould. “We are seeing an increased demand for comprehensive end-to-end Control Towers that provide visibility and control from the supplier’s suppliers to last mile delivery.”

In order to keep pace with the ever-changing market conditions, leading vendors are gearing their development and acquisition strategies to developing comprehensive Supply Chain Management platforms that offer Control Tower, SCP, TMS, and WMS functionality. Control Tower vendors further differentiate their offerings with AI/ML capabilities for risk detection, prescriptive automation, and improved forecast accuracy.
