Three Ways Innovative Manufacturers are Transforming Business

 

Manufacturing companies are under mounting pressure to operate more effectively and efficiently, while fulfilling customer demands for immediacy and product innovation. Yet trying to meet these challenges with manually intensive processes and outdated technology is difficult, especially when external partners and global operations are involved. Constraining operations with slow, error-prone manual tasks limits visibility and impedes growth, while potentially harming the customer experience. This makes businesses more likely to lose customers to competitors who can act -- and react – efficiently, and in real time.

To meet these demands, manufacturers must lead their operations into the digital age by further extending business processes across partners, from suppliers to end consumers. This serves as a critical expansion that marks a departure from the traditional focus solely on manufacturing and distribution.
