Problem: Each enterprise in the supply chain typically uses its own systems (ERP, CRM, etc.) for data management, which results in isolated data.

Impact: Limited visibility into upstream and downstream activities leads to delays, poor decision-making, and missed opportunities for optimization.

Problem: Communication between different entities often relies on emails, phone calls, or ad-hoc methods, which can be slow and prone to errors.

Impact: Miscommunication and lack of collaboration lead to production delays, increased costs and operational inefficiencies.

Problem: Many organizations rely on manual processes (spreadsheets, PDFs, email threads) to manage transactions, orders, and workflows.

Impact: This leads to increased errors, duplication of work, and delayed transaction times, making it harder to scale operations.

Problem: Different enterprises often have different regulatory requirements, quality standards, and compliance norms that may not be easily integrated.

Impact: Without standardized systems, ensuring that all partners comply with quality, safety and regulatory standards becomes a major challenge.

Problem: Without a shared platform, real-time data exchange is difficult, with enterprises relying on periodic updates, often resulting in outdated information.

Impact: A lack of real-time data leads to inaccurate demand forecasts, overproduction, stockouts, and missed customer demands.

Problem: When each enterprise operates in isolation, it's harder to identify potential disruptions in the supply chain.

Impact: The lack of a unified view can exacerbate disruptions and make recovery slower, increasing costs and customer dissatisfaction.

Problem: Automating workflows across multiple entities becomes difficult without integration across systems.

Impact: Automation is limited, reducing efficiency and increasing the need for manual intervention at every transaction point.

Problem: Without a centralized platform for data sharing, demand and supply forecasting is typically based on historical data rather than real-time insights.

Impact: This leads to mismatches between production capacity and market demand, resulting in higher inventory costs or lost sales.

Problem: Payment reconciliation, invoicing, and financial management across enterprises without a shared platform often require manual verification.

Impact: Delayed payments, invoice disputes, and lack of financial transparency cause friction between supply chain partners.

Problem: Onboarding new partners becomes cumbersome when every new entity must integrate with existing systems independently.

Impact: Long lead times for establishing relationships slow down the time-to-market for new products or services.
