Digitization: A word that’s even harder to define than it is to pronounce.

Everyone’s talking about the need to “digitize” global supply chains. So what exactly do they mean? One gets a vague sense of automating manual processes, but what’s really required to achieve digital transformation? On this episode, we get two perspectives: from Charlie Maynard, senior manager, industry solutions for transportation and logistics with HERE Technologies, and Florian Brummer, head of the Europe, Middle East and Africa region for supply chain, transportation and logistics with Amazon Web Services. They’ll tell us what “digitization” really means, which parts of the supply chain are most in need of it, how the initiative can be carried out successfully, what are the immediate benefits, and whether it’s all going to end up in a so-called “autonomous” supply chain. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
