The supply chain is gaining in complexity at an alarming rate, creating a deluge of information overload from data generated within supply chain processes. Companies are using Big Data to better understand these massive amounts of data associated with processes and costs related to procurement, manufacturing, distribution, customer service, inventory deployment, freight payment/audit and more. Third-party logistics (3PL) providers are in an ideal position to help their clients harness the power of Big Data and identify relevant and actionable information.
