Recent legislation in many parts of the world has given government agencies greater power to intervene in manufacturers’ operations and more easily demand product recalls and withdrawals.
Moreover, consumers are becoming ever more demanding of manufacturers, ready to react as soon as their expectations are not satisfied and able to raise their concerns instantly, and very publicly, through modern communication technology. As a result of these factors, product recalls around the world are becoming more and more frequent, and manufacturers are facing major disruption, damage to reputation and overall financial liability.

In addition to staying on top of key factors, i.e. costs, demand forecasting, production downtime and inventory surplus, supply chain partnerships are continually changing. What happens if your supplier’s shipment has been delayed? What if supply costs increase without warning or quality changes? Without a fast, accurate method to track progress or communicate, you may be unable to avoid production downtime or plan an alternate manufacturing schedule without hurting your business.
