Supply chains are the lifeblood of any business organization. To create resilience and competitive advantage businesses need to adapt their supply chains to meet customer needs and operate in the ever-changing digital world.
At telstra we are developing a roadmap to help businesses unlock the value of technology-enabled, data-powered, customer-centric supply chains.
Beginning with visibility imports the first in a suite of connected supply chain products backed by our network of enterprise partners
and technology investments across 5g, data hub, telematics and the largest IOT network in Australia.
Telstra's connected supply chain visibility import tracks ocean freight imported into Australia, by any carrier from any port around the globe.
Our research identified visibility and automation as key enablers for future supply chain management, with 50% of leading enterprises planning to expand investment in real-time transport visibility solutions by 2023.
Visibility imports highlights the complexity in supply chains that causes unpredictability, delays, penalties and poor customer service.
