MIAMI, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Control Tower vendors have addressed global supply challenges, including rising air freight costs, the aluminum shortage, and logistics bottlenecks by introducing and enhancing tools like multi-tier supplier discovery, bill of material traceability, checkpoint geo-fencing, resolution frameworks, and generative AI assistants. Vendors have also made continuous investments through partnerships and acquisitions to enhance the integration between their systems and the broader network of supply chain partners. These efforts focus on improving the interoperability of their platforms, facilitating smoother collaboration, data exchange, and decision-making across the supply chain ecosystem.

“Control tower technology is designed to provide actionable recommendations to enable cost-effective adjustments to supply chain plans before disruptions occur,” said Senior Analyst Charles Brennan. “We’re seeing the greatest value from solutions that enable organizations to avoid or reduce operational silos and collaborate directly with trading partners, ensuring that decisions consider the full scope of the supply chain.”

In addition to these advancements, organizations remain committed to improving their ESG capabilities, focusing on tracking and tracing capabilities that drive better and more sustainable product sourcing. As sustainability continues to be a critical priority, control tower solutions are increasingly equipped with tools that allow companies to monitor and report on the environmental impact of their supply chains, ensuring alignment with global sustainability goals and regulations.
