Dear readers,
Over the past 10 years, mobile technology has greatly changed our world, including the domain of supply chain. The speed of change will continue to increase in the years to come.
What technologies and innovations will change the face of supply chain? Our opinion on what we see as the relevant key technologies will be addressed in this newsletter, with more to come in a future issue.
Innovation is a key reason 4flow has grown considerably faster than the market since it was founded 17 years ago. Year after year, we work on developing new consulting products and software solutions, as well as process innovations. All these innovations have earned us numerous awards, and this makes the 4flow team very proud.
