With all of the Next Generation supply chain technologies, the cloud will be essential. Blockchain, Internet Of Things, Artificial Intelligence and the digital supply chain will all necessitate cloud computing.
In fact, some say that the cloud will be the most affected Next Generation technology in the supply chain for the predicted future based entirely on its use as a backbone of data interchanges. Industry analysts suggest Amazon’s newfound profitability and efficiency is due to the effectiveness of its cloud services.
In the supply chain features, basically, the cloud centralizes data and offers numerous entities access to that data, reducing costs and growing supply chain momentum while adding data security.
As with any served data system, there are security concerns to address. That’s where our Blockchain technology is implemented. Then we add in some Internet of Things technology in case we want to share data with other machines and some Artificial Intelligence to teach the machines how to execute their operations more efficiently each time.
There is another pivotal shift in the supply chain, and elsewhere for that matter, charging cloud adoption. Quite simply, companies are pioneering to treat data as an asset.
Moreover, the value of data only enhances as it is accessible across enterprises. As the value of that data enlarges the responsibility of Transportation companies will enlarge as we will be among those sharing the data. Logistics experts will need to strengthen their internal data security network to ensure data integrity or face possibly significant financial liability.
While most will concur that we aren’t there yet, the direction is clear. Look to the cloud.

“Digital Technologies & Novelty Are Driving Huge Changes And Rectifies In The Supply Chain. Meanwhile, Digital Upheaval & Continued Globalization Are Sending Customer Service Expectations Through The Roof And Stretching Supply Chains To The Farthest Reaches Of The Planet,” the MHI States, “Putting Supply Chains Under More Stress Than Ever Before.”
