Enterprises, providers tap into new
technologies, integrated data to better monitor and manage
operations, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Many companies with complex supply chains are co-developing
specialized analytics systems with providers that allow them to
adapt quickly to dynamic market conditions, according to a new
research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG)
(Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory
firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ global Specialty Analytics Services
report for the supply chain industry finds that organizations are
investing in technologies to harness enterprise and ecosystem data
for better decision-making. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the
fragility of global supply chains, so enterprises are exploring how
data and analytics can make systems more resilient and
sustainable.
“Companies can no longer take supply chains for granted,” said
Bob Krohn, partner, manufacturing, for ISG. “By implementing new
technologies with providers, they are achieving the end-to-end
visibility they need to stay ahead of changes.”
Enterprises can solve many supply-chain problems with advanced
analytics based on a solid data foundation, the report says. Once
companies have integrated internal and external data and removed
errors, analytics platforms become powerful decision-support
systems that can generate suggestions for optimizing operations.
They can also help companies calculate risks and plan how to manage
potential disruptions.
AI is often at the center of these solutions, and providers and
enterprises are beginning to apply generative AI (GenAI) to many
use cases, ISG says. In integrated supply chain command centers,
GenAI may improve demand forecasting, capacity planning and order
tracking. Combined with computer vision and IoT, GenAI may allow
companies to introduce automation throughout the supply chain,
making the best use of limited staff.
With more specialized analytics tools, enterprises have found
new use cases, the report says. Integrated data allows them to
evaluate specific suppliers to ensure supply chain continuity.
Digital twins that simulate physical assets and processes are
helping companies predict outcomes and make better decisions.
Improved analytics systems streamline distribution, enabling
on-time order fulfillment. They also support compliance with ESG
reporting rules that require understanding the whole supply
chain.
Companies seeking specialized analytics providers commonly look
for a track record of quickly delivering business value, ISG says.
They often choose providers that employ reusable components, called
accelerators, that reflect expertise in the client’s industry.
Enterprises get the most out of custom analytics platforms when
they own the intellectual property developed in conjunction with
the provider.
“Off-the-shelf analytics platforms can solve some common
problems, but oversight and control of a complex supply chain
requires a custom solution,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global
leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Leading providers collaborate
with clients to build systems that can evolve and deliver results
over time.”
The report also explores other supply-chain analytics trends,
including rising operational costs and demand for talent-building
within enterprises.

including the lack of visibility into operations and into the level
