The Age of the Multi-Enterprise Supply Chain Business Network

The global supply chain is full of uncertainty – political, environmental, and otherwise. Companies rely on their multi-enterprise supply chain business networks to stay flexible; when unexpected events occur, it’s important to have options. At the same time, those partnerships are only as effective as the technology in place to leverage them.

The new B2B ecosystem is a community of trading partners made up of multiple external parties collaborate on a variety of differing functions, from sourcing to manufacturing to warehousing and distribution to shipping and last mile delivery. Supply chain technology must therefore support this network of parties, regardless of tier and type, enabling real-time visibility and transparency into critical data, fast and timely coordination, and optimized planning and execution across multiple processes.

To this end, multi party orchestration platforms help industry leaders dynamically and intelligently partner with their network to stay resilient, adaptive, and better mitigate risk and minimize disruption. As a holistic solution, it offers rich capabilities ranging from visibility and control to logistics and order management that spans all order types and all order flows.
