Introduction: The Importance of Digital Transformation in the Supply Chain

Supply chain management is at the heart of every business — from production to delivery. Traditional methods are no longer enough to meet today’s demands for speed, flexibility, and efficiency.
Intelligent Supply Chain Management, powered by technologies like AI, IoT, Big Data Analytics, and SAP, transforms these processes into a more predictive, agile, and optimized system.
