Sustainable Supply Chain

Send me a messageWelcome to the Digital Supply Chain podcast! On this episode, I am joined by special guest Mahesh Veerina, CEO of ParkourSC. During the podcast, we dive into the world of supply chain management and how new technologies are transforming the way businesses operate.Mahesh explains that ParkourSC is a cloud-based technology platform that helps companies reduce variances in their plans and deliver better outcomes to the business. The platform is built on four layers: collecting signals from across the supply chain, creating a digital twin of the physical network, embedding intelligence and orchestration at every node in the network, and providing a single pane of glass for management teams to make decisions.Mahesh also touches on the challenges that companies face with supply chain execution, particularly the variance between the plan and the reality, and how digital twins can help bridge that gap. He mentions how the platform can be used for scenario planning and making supply chains more resilient, and how it can also be used to provide transparency and supply chain information to customers.Mahesh also talks about the role of sustainability in supply chains and how companies are starting to focus on reducing their environmental impact, but acknowledges that it's a slow and long journey.If you want to learn more about ParkourSC or Mahesh Veerina, please visit their website or LinkedIn page.

Send me a messageOn this episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Doug Marinaro, the CEO and co-founder of Riptide, a three-way text platform for issue resolution. Doug shared the story of how Riptide came to be and how it's being used today in roadside service, delivery, field service, and home services. He explained how Riptide is different from consumer messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram and how it allows businesses to have control over who's in the conversation, where the information about the conversation goes, and the conversation workflow. Doug also discussed Riptide's expansion plans, and how the solution can be used to ensure a positive end-to-end customer experience. He also highlighted the real-time dashboards, analytics and the use of Machine learning models that Riptide offers. As always, I learned loads.

Send me a messageHey everyone! Welcome back to the Digital Supply Chain podcast. I'm Tom Raftery and today we have a special guest, Muhammad Alam, who is with SAP and has two jobs there. He's the product and engineering leader for one of SAP's five solution areas called Intelligent Spend and Business Network, and also the General Manager for SAP Business Network. In this episode, we dive into the topic of the digitization of supply chain and the key role of the business network in it. Muhammad explains how the Business Network is about breaking down silos in a company's value chain to create value for the organization and its trading partners. He also talks about how SAP Business Network is different than other networks, how it's unique in its ability to create a seamless connection between the network and the systems of execution, and how it can help companies in different industries to increase their on-time delivery, reduce fulfillment lead time and expediting costs. We also hear how the network is beneficial for trading partners as it is a low cost channel of acquiring customers and growing their business in a predictable way. Overall, a very enlightening conversation that I'm sure you'll enjoy.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain’ podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.
