Today, we are proud of the fact that our readership spans the entire globe, with thousands of cross functional, B2B and IT focused supply chain management professionals visiting this web site each and every month. Â Our audience spans multiple industry supply chains.
This blog further provides the deepest and broadest availability of content and insights specifically addressing industry unique supply chain management developments and learning. Click on any one of our specific industry search tags on the right-hand panel and you will experience that fact.
