As someone on the tail end of the Baby Boomer generation, I have a vested interest in the life science industry’s focus to improve both products and services. One of my greatest hopes is that all this focus will lead to cures, or at least better treatments, for many of today’s medical challenges such as Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Arthritis, joint replacements, hearing loss and so many more.

Omnichannel retail operations are well on their way to becoming the norm. Consumers now take the digital path to purchase more often than not; but, they don’t care what retailers call their shopping journey or what strategies companies use to make the shopping journey a seamless one.

Picture this real-world scenario: A major battery manufacturer finds itself running two years behind on a project with a partner firm. At many companies, this long of a delay could have jeopardized the outcome. But there is a strong project steering committee in place – with good communication via cross-functional discussions between the manufacturer and the partner firm – which helps everyone involved realize that the delay came about for the right reasons.

Before BASF implemented the Descartes MacroPoint solution, “more often than not, we had no visibility into shipments that were delayed,” explained Wehrle.

May 4, 2018 The speed and reliability of your distribution network is essential to your company’s success. But for most companies, logistics and transportation are, at best, a supporting line of business and, at worst, a distraction. For many businesses, their supply chain grew organically along with the growth of the business and isn't built to scale, especially for ecommerce.

Did supply chain problems have anything to do with Toys "R" Us going out of business? The company's jingle famously declared "I don't wanna grow up"—but it is exactly this reluctance (or at least inability) to mature amidst a rapidly-evolving retail landscape that led to the company's ultimate downfall. In mid-March, Toys "R" Us announced plans to close down and liquidate the inventory for all 735 of its stores in the United States.

Last-mile delivery innovation hinges on data transparency. The technology hype cycle has created a vision for last-mile delivery tactics led by airborne drones, self-driving cars and similar solutions that feel almost like science fiction. While these technologies are in the marketplace, businesses that wait for them to emerge are missing out on much more accessible – and potentially impactful – strategies that are already widely available.

A supply chain is always a work in progress. You can optimize it so it’s running as close to perfect as possible and then circumstances change. Even best-maintained processes slip out of alignment and affect your results. As a supply chain professional, you quickly accept that you will always be fine tuning your operations, though sometimes that feels like more and more effort for diminishing returns.

Order fulfillment is not one-size-fits all. Fulfillment needs can vary greatly depending on a merchant’s business model. For example, a subscription box company may need to send millions of orders to hit a shared drop date, a direct seller may need a network of locations to reach its consultants quickly and cost effectively, while an omnichannel merchant is likely to.
