Integration Trends in Supply Chain & Logistics

As part of the Supply Chain Technology Themes for 2023, Gartner called out Supply Chain Integration Services as one of the core trends. The goal for organisations is to create a seamless service from production to the final delivery to the end customer. Gartner research says that over the next few years until 2026, less than 25% of supply chain organisations will have a cohesive and comprehensive internal and external integration strategy. As companies managing supply chain and logistics look to better meet customers’ expectations, integration services with partners and new technologies is core to success.

At Pace Integration, we have a deep understanding of the Supply Chain & Logistics Industry, having successfully completed a variety of integration projects including warehousing, transportation management and final mile delivery. You can access one of our case studies, which gives insight into our precise methodologies, innovative solutions, and examples of successful outcomes within Supply Chain & Logistics Industry.

Organisations managing supply chain and logistics face many issues relating to integration:

• There is an increased need to share real-time data across a landscape of independent, on-premise applications and a growing number of modern, cloud based applications. This results in a complex, hybrid ecosystem of integrations, lack of visibility and siloed data.
• There is an increasing network of enterprises and companies that need to connect and work together to fulfil the end-to-end supply chain. Each partner requires integration to share data. Enterprises are required to operate with legacy EDI as well as modernising to offer new services with API-based connections.
• As integration ecosystems grow, it becomes harder to maintain and avoid disruptions across the business due to connection failures.

How can Pace Integration help?

• Design a comprehensive approach to integration and sharing data across your business to maximise end-to-end performance.
• Develop modern API-led services to better serve your customers for example, Warehouse Management, Transport Management and Final Mile.
• Integrate and automate processes across both legacy and modern systems to share data throughout the application landscape.
• Assessing the best way to manage both legacy EDI and modern integrations.
