Sourcing Journal’s “Overstocks & Organizational Challenges” report highlights the state of supply chain visibility in 2018. Based on the findings from a proprietary industry-wide survey, the report reveals how the current on-demand consumer mindset is putting more pressure on retailers and brands to embrace the technology that provides real-time information on the status of their goods.

Respondents’ feedback illustrates the ways in which a lack of visibility into the supply chain often results in either costly overstocks or missed sales opportunities when goods are out of stock.
