This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Dave Rullens (Webbing Solutions), to ask him some questions about supply chain integration, SCSN and global initiatives for better collaboration in digital format.
The talk went a little deeper into the latest techniques. But, the central question is: where do you put your company’s digital front door? Many people do not know that supply chain integration is not just limited to the ERP world. How do you want to work with your customers and what use cases are strongest to start with?
