Digitalization of the Supply Chain

Westernacher has the experience to take the report left by strategy advisors and implement it. We are not afraid to take risks and get our hands dirty. We work with you in the trenches and put results before reports. We understand how to achieve your goals with the right mix of operational, organizational, and technology innovations. We have transformed organizations such as Sandoz through innovation based on solid analysis.​

We love technology and know how to use it for new business models. We work with technology every day – for 50 years. We understand what works and how much time it takes to change an organization. We support CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs with technology and solution roadmaps. We develop new IT strategies and help companies such as TJX to leverage new technologies.​​

We are working with the business on supply chain improvements combining proven concepts such as Lean and Six Sigma with opportunities provided by advanced and prescriptive Analytics, Machine Learning and AI, the Internet of Things, and Digitalization. We understand how and when to use new technologies to improve the S&OP process. We optimize supply chain networks, delivery operations, and inventories. We help our clients reduce supply chain risks and deliver performance assurance.​​

With terms such as ‘digitalization’, ‘Industry 4.0’ and ‘digital supply chain management’ on everyone’s lips, Westernacher can help business and IT leaders understand what sort of technologies fall under these broad terms and more importantly, how they can leverage all the capabilities that are at our disposal today.​​​
