Recent discussions around tariffs, especially those affecting Chinese electric vehicles and semiconductors, highlight how global logistics need to adapt. While advancements in forecasting have been made, many companies still struggle with real-time visibility into their operations. Johannes Herter from Rome AI emphasizes the importance of reconstructing the foundational data systems that underpin logistics, which currently suffer from outdated methods like using PDFs and emails instead of streamlined, digital systems. This disconnection presents challenges amidst ongoing trade developments, necessitating a more integrated approach to supply chain management.
"We've made forecasting advanced, but many organizations still struggle to understand what's happening in real time. Without that, even the most sophisticated predictions are unreliable."
"Supply chains operate like distributed systems. But instead of clean APIs, they run on PDFs, emails, and mismatched spreadsheets."
