“If you can't measure it, you can't improve it,” said Paul Magel, president, application solutions group of software solutions company CGS. “And if you don't have the visibility, you don't even know what you're measuring.”

Even a fully transparent supply chain has so many moving parts and independent “bubbles” that need to be digitalized and linked for visibility and real-time tracking. It’s all about collecting data—and using it effectively.

The urgency doesn’t stop with direct suppliers, either, as vendors increasingly sub-contract out work, putting overall compliance at risk. When it comes to visibility, from tracking worker efficiencies across the world to inventory allocation across DTC and wholesale channels, a solid cloud-based software system will be the backbone of any enterprise for 2022 and beyond.
