There are clear indications this must be the case. That the disruption having faced almost all businesses on a global scale will skyrocket the effort digitizing also supply chains. There are actions to take and considerations to be had. In this EBG | Insight interview we meet up with Bernhard Soltmann, Managing Director of Allocation Network. Asking him what his thoughts and experiences are from past months but also from years of digitizing supply chains.
