Why is visibility important for creating a resilient supply chain for your chemical sourcing b.docx

Supply chain visibility is the ability to manage and track its products and services throughout the complete lifecycle – from raw materials through delivery. Businesses need to remove all complex supply chain bottlenecks for better supply chain visibility and customer service, helping organizations improve customer service, control costs and mitigate risks.

It can be nearly impossible for companies to gain supply chain visibility without automation. Only 6% of companies claim to have complete supply chain visibility while 69% lack visibility. Visibility can help companies save money by reducing unnecessary warehousing costs if implemented correctly. It also improves customer service and increases employee productivity. Real-time visibility helps in selecting the best suppliers/distributors based on several factors like sustainable goals, ethical practices and cost efficiency.

Importance of supply chain

The factors below highlight the importance of supply chain visibility.

  •  Measurable KPIs – Last-minute logistical disturbances affecting profit margins can be avoided by monitoring the supply chain in real time with relevant key performance indicators.
  •  Compliance – It’s important to monitor the movement of goods through the supply chain and ensure they are compliant in every way.
  •  Competitive advantage – Relevant data on trackability of product allows a company to know precisely when the product needs to be ordered, time to contact the suppliers and the delivery of the product.
  •  Customer satisfaction – Customer satisfaction can be maximized through inventory management by meeting customer requests.
  •  Forecasting – The real-time data of the complete supply chain helps improve business operations, tracking raw materials and delivery of information to the customers.
