3 Key Trends We’re Seeing in Supply Chain 1. 3PL Use       No longer just a short-term solution to expanding distribution and transportation networks, retailers are increasingly utilizing partnerships with 3PL’s to serve them long term, allowing them to focus more on other brand core competencies. 2. Tracking and Tracing       Technology now provides the ability to track supply chain components, even products, at much lower levels – going beyond traditional order and shipment tracking. 3. AI       Now more than ever, the ability to store, and to process, massive amounts of data allows retailers to forecast with precision movements in their supply chain, from source to store to customer and every single place in between. One application of AI is having a plan from end to end of a component/item/order of where it should be at any point in time. Then, comparing the actual location to the planned location alerts immediately, to allow corrective actions, and in the aggregate, to see trends.

AI will not replace supply chain managers. Strong supplier relationships are key to success, and the best way to build those relationships is through site visits. Yet many supply chain managers don’t have the time—they’re buried in manual work. That’s where technology comes in. At Procurable, we’re making B2B supply chains more efficient by automating manual processes, with no supplier adoption required. This enables supply chain professionals to spend more time visiting suppliers and building long-lasting partnerships.

I'm endlessly curious about the tech frontier. What's on the horizon? If there was ever a buzz word for the last couple years its been A.I. What does that mean to the 3PL Industry? I think among the first things it can used for is executing on data trends. Like an automated stock broker, allowing the A.I. system with some guardrails to execute on bids, make bids within market averages and then accept or deny counter offers. Those are areas it can have an immediate impact. The other stuff this article mentions is worth the read for anyone curious.
