Can you stand with the world’s largest brands?

Research published this month by the AMR & Gartner team has revealed one way in which 25 leading brands are continuing to succeed; running a profitable supply chain.

But as this report[1] points out, the ‘Top 25 are doing a lot more than just shipping'.  With increasingly complex networks, supply chains now marry product process and innovation with the challenge of customer demand and supply.  And it's a priority which now has a direct line to the boardroom; with supply chain directors on and reporting to the board.

It is no surprise that this research has focused on a number of measurables to establish the top supply chain performers. The score is made up of five key balance-sheet ratios that assess a manufacturing firm's financial health - liquidity, profitability (or operating efficiency), solvency and activity (net sales or total assets).

Technology lies at the heart of a successful ‘value chain', supporting the strategy of some of the world's biggest brands.  From these top 25 companies identified by AMR, technology from Barloworld Supply Chain Software, is used by 50% of them. 

Is this a coincidence?

We would argue not.

Barloworld Supply Chain Software is supporting some of the largest and most successful brands across the globe in their challenge to drive profitability through the supply chain.  Whether this is through network optimisation, inventory management or the capability to react to inherent volatility and changes in consumer demand, Barloworld Supply Chain Software's technology has the ability to help businesses gain competitive edge.
