SUPPLY CHAIN
digitizing
the supply chain
New solutions achieve efficiency in logistics.

airy processors interact with a tremendous amount
of data on any given day, and they are tasked with
using that data to increase efficiency, transparency
and sustainability throughout the supply chain. This data
doesn't reach its full potential when stored in Excel files, so
processors are turning to digital solutions that allow them to
adjust operations based on what the data reveals. According
to the 2023 Digital Trends in Supply Chain Survey from
PricewaterhouseCoopers, 86% of executives surveyed agree
their company should invest more in technology to identify,
track and measure supply chain risk.
" Plants produce more data electronically than a human
can read, process and understand, " said Ryan Mertes, chief
solutions officer for Ever.Ag, Frisco, Texas. " These systems
can be set up to say, 'Here are the things I need to know, and
this is when something is going wrong.' "
IMPROVING OPERATIONS AND TRACEABILITY
Mertes said he envisions a connected supply chain traceable
from the soil to the final product on retail shelves, and both
consumers and regulatory entities are beginning to demand
this level of transparency. In fact, Mertes said such an offering
with end-to-end traceability is on the horizon for Ever.Ag
within the next year.
Currently, the first step in creating a digitized supply chain
is getting rid of Excel spreadsheets in favor of systems that
can provide a report in a moment's notice, which is critical
in the event of a traceability issue. This not only boosts
transparency, but Mertes said it is also good for business.
" Digitization allows you to also improve your operations
because if you know liquids went from here to there and how
much specifically got used, you can achieve best practices, "
Mertes said.
