PwC UK’s Collaborative Supply Chain

Supply chain disruption is inevitable in manufacturing – but having the right information at your fingertips means you can stay in control.

Collaborative Supply Chain is a cloud-based solution that helps organisations understand the risks they are exposed to and respond intelligently to disruption.

We understand that even the smallest delays can mean the difference between fulfilling customer orders and letting them down, holding optimum inventory and overloading warehouses, or running efficiently and losing money on unused machinery. Our dashboard uses cloud technology to connect multiple data sources and systems, giving you a live control tower view of your operations, from warehousing to inventory, so you have the information you need to respond.

This helps people across your organisation identify and categorise problems, fostering stronger collaboration and building your resilience.

1. Build resilience to disruption

Collaborative Supply Chain gives you a live control tower view of your operations. This helps leaders, planners and teams on the shop floor identify and categorise the type of problems you face before deciding on the best course of action.

2. Maximise efficiency and cut costs

Collaborative Supply Chain automates manual processes – removing the need for emails and phone calls, which may slow down the decision-making process when an incident occurs. By linking up the teams, processes and suppliers that affect your supply chain, it allows you to see problems faster – helping you get back on track quickly and reducing the cost of disruptions.

3. Make intelligent decisions to improve quality

Our solution doesn’t just allow you to react to today’s problems; you can use it to take a deeper dive into the issues affecting your operations. For example, it uses cloud to create a digital twin of your supply chain, allowing you to evaluate the impact of potential scenarios and decisions before disruption occurs. This can help you build resilience and provide a higher level of quality in the future.
