Evaluating the move to a new supply chain logistics platform in 2025? Even when you know that you need to invest in a next-generation chain solution, purchasing and implementing a new #loading or #routing software platform is a significant undertaking. Here are six common obstacles we see that can stall the decision process:   💲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲: Price and budgets are a critical factor in any investment decision. 👥 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: The successful implementation of a complex software solution is a significant project that can put a strain on your internal resources. 🚧 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴/𝗢𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀: Navigating multiple software projects concurrently is daunting.   🧩 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁-𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Competing organizational priorities creates budgetary constraints. 🔮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Companies often need to prove the value of large investments or guarantee quantified results before committing to a purchase. 🎲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Making the change due to a software end-of-life scenario or when you’re comfortable with an existing solution or provider is complex.   Read “6 Tips to Unlock the Value of ORTEC's Solutions” to discover how you can overcome the obstacles using our experience – built from working with some of the world’s leading brands.  ➔ https://lnkd.in/eMHHvuxB   Bring us your questions and your concerns, and let’s work together to reach your supply chain’s full potential.   #NextGenSupplyChain #DigitalTransformation

❔ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆? We’ve found a common trait shared by distribution and delivery companies that have successfully embraced the latest routing technology. They view the transition as an opportunity for a reset, not in their business model, but in their internal alignment and change management strategy. The shift from first-generation systems, which have devolved into reactionary, manual processes, raises a critical question: Why? Factors such as turnover, training, vendor engagement, and data quality have contributed to this evolution. As a result, this transition cannot be approached as a simple "rip and replace" event. The cutting-edge technology of the past has stagnated due to technical limitations and the business models of software providers. The most successful supply chain companies invest time in understanding how they reached this point, including acknowledging past challenges with adoption, and embrace the opportunity to drive meaningful change. Watch “The Power of Adaptability in Next-Gen Routing Solutions” to hear John Barker talk first-hand about Smithfield Foods’ journey from its first-generation systems to achieve improved routing efficiency, higher driver satisfaction, and organizational synergy with ORTEC. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eMdGWb7M #RoutingTechnology #ChangeManagement #SupplyChainInnovation

📊 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀   Addressing the root causes of the gap between strategy and execution gap – and implementing tactics to enhance strategic alignment and execution discipline – allows organizations to translate intention into tangible results to create a more agile, responsive, and successful operational ecosystem. Setting clear #goals and comparing them to actual #performance is crucial to ensuring that practical execution is supporting the planned strategy for cost savings in final mile operations, and to identify where performance is not meeting potential. Organizational leaders, transportation and route planners, and executives must be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to bridge the disparity between strategy and execution, ultimately driving growth and maintaining a competitive edge in today's dynamic business landscape.
