Depending on the maturity of their supply chain, companies have different goals and are prioritizing different technology capabilities. “Strivers” are companies striving to reach industry average with their supply chain technology roadmap. “Seekers” want to adopt industry best practices and supporting supply chain technology. “Innovators” are attempting to create new supply chain management practices.

One strategy is to seek technology that lets operations teams flexibly manage multiple types of supply chains.

HP estimates it saved nearly $1 billion through its internal supply chain process and technology initiatives.
