In today's era, consumers have a vast range of options across all sectors, particularly in the retail and automotive industries. As a result, brands are crafting extensive product assortments customized for different segments of consumers to target, which has led to immense complexity in their demand and supply planning processes. Moreover, complexity increases further as the business scales up, especially in a geographically large country like India.
Multiple fronts contribute to this complexity, including sourcing and production of numerous products, inventory planning and management, fulfillment through various sales channels, and marketing and sales processes across multiple channels. In addition, unexpected disruptions such as the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbate the situation.
Outsourcing complexities: A key to success
Mature companies recognize that to succeed in the market, they must focus on their core competencies and outsource the rest of the complexities to experts. One such area is the supply chain and logistics, where companies seek collaboration with supply chain management companies in India who can work closely to build and deliver solutions to resolve supply chain complexities. The key selection criteria are understanding the company's requirements, experience of managing similar operations for other brands, the ability to innovate and manage critical situations, and expertise in managing inventory of comparable products.
Technology capabilities, an essential factor
Technology capabilities have become an essential factor in supply chain partners. As a result, supply chain management companies help their customers run their supply chains effectively and design tech solutions tailored to their unique problems while providing visibility and control over inventory and orders as they progress along the supply chain.
