Supply chain management focuses on the development and delivery of goods with higher efficiency and greater speed. Industry players are developing digital SCM systems to improve efficiency in material handling and delivery. The use of supply chain software enables suppliers, manufacturers, logistics providers, and retailers to efficiently manage product creation, order fulfillment, and information tracking.
