Manufacturing and distribution companies struggle with the highs and lows of supply and demand. A major challenge to overcome is balancing inventory and profitability. This balancing act relies on end-to-end visibility and communication. Frustration and inefficiencies occur when there is a lack of communication in one or many of the links of the supply chain. If you can supply goods efficiently at the lowest cost, then you can reach the goal of increasing profits. The challenge of most supply chain operations is to carry as little inventory as possible without running out.
