What is cloud computing?

This technology will help supply chain managers. Computing enables the cloud to track a product throughout its lifecycle. Cloud-based management can significantly reduce losses of products as it can find a shipment throughout the entire transport process. Cloud services connect supply chains, enabling a strategic approach for inventory deployment.

Cloud computing and the supply chain: what we found

  • Of those asked, the highest number of respondents, 64%, said that yes, cloud computing was already a key part of their supply chain management strategy.
  • The next most popular option, with 27% of responses said that they were not yet using the technology, but they were interested in doing so.
  • After that, the third most popular option, 9%, was among those who said no, they were not using it and are also not planning to.
  • Finally, the least popular option, with 0% of responses, would be for those companies that were not yet using cloud computing, but were actively pursuing.

We can see that 64%, an overwhelming majority, of respondents were already using these tools. As well as this, an even larger majority, 91%, at least, showed that they were interested in doing so. Despite no respondents answering that they were actively pursuing cloud computing, this is an extremely positive result, showing a clear appetite among companies for modernisation. This is a positive sign, showing that supply chain professionals understand the value of cloud-based technology in their supply chain management strategies, meaning that more businesses are continuing to embrace this technology and improve their efficiency and productivity because of this.
