Whether automating logistics for the very first time (saying goodbye to spreadsheets and phone calls) or seeking to replace an outdated incumbent technology, implementation and subscription costs are not the most important consideration.

Research shows that as many as 70% of product launches fail due to inadequate coordination among stakeholders, including supply chain, product management, legal, marketing, and change control teams (Gartner, 2022). The 2023 Supply Chain Insights Report highlights that 60% of supply chain disruptions are caused by poor communication and misalignment among cross-functional teams.
