Supply chain visibility and flexibility through digital transformation
The Fashion & Lifestyle industry is known for its dynamic and ever-evolving nature, shaped by various factors such as cultural and social trends, technology and sustainability concerns.
At the same time, due to the global nature of the industry, it’s particularly vulnerable to disruptions, which can send shockwaves through the entire supply chain. Add that to the turmoil and unpredictability of the past three years, and it’s clear that logistics has now become more important than ever for retailers. With that in mind, many fashion and lifestyle companies have invested in modernising their supply chains, warehousing and transportation technologies to ensure they can expand to achieve their growth goals and are prepared for any issues that may arise in the future.
In an industry where the business environment changes so quickly, how can you get ready for a more predictable future? A key factor in this is digital transformation, which brings visibility to your supply chain and makes it more agile and responsive to the latest trends.
"Digitisation is all about agility and responsiveness to a marketplace which is now moving at a digital speed"
Maersk’s data-driven integrated logistics solutions, combined with our Supply Chain Management services allow you to step towards a more predictable future. From purchase order to final distribution centre or directly to your end-customers’ doorstep, our services, connect all the different parts of your supply chain and combine the associated data to create your own controlled global logistics network. All through one supply chain partner.
4 elements of Maersk’s Supply Chain Management services that give your business a competitive edge
Gain better visibility
Get sophisticated supply chain visibility to track your inventory at a granular level, for example, SKU or specific purchase order. By integrating first-hand data from our own controlled global asset network with information from third parties, we have enhanced decision-making capabilities. All of this information is accessible through an innovative digital dashboard.
Get predictive recommendations
Increased visibility is only the starting point as we can unlock the full potential of the data through predictive recommendations, which allow you to optimise your supply chain. Transition from a reactive approach to a proactive one by making smarter decisions - placing the right inventory at the right locations to feed an eager market, or to avoid the risk of demurrage and detention charges, and much more. For instance, if a vessel is delayed that could put a priority delivery at risk, you’re not only notified of the delay but also met with alternative operational suggestions to ensure your delivery is on time.
Proactive actions
The right level of supply chain visibility is an enabler, but your ability to make decisions effectively depends on the concrete actions you can perform. This is where our global network of own physical assets across ocean, land, and air comes into play. Being in control of the different supply chain steps offers our Supply Chain Management customers dependable service and confidence in lead times. If, for example, there are bottlenecks in the network and your shipment could be delayed, you can discharge your cargo and speed up delivery by switching to air freight – once again demonstrating our commitment to efficient and timely logistics solutions.
