Supply Chain

The Supply Chain Management (SCM) sector has evolved rapidly in recent years following several global paradigm shifts; the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated several near-term market trends, including notably the adoption of SCM solutions down-market and globally as well as the expansion of multi-modal logistics solutions; in the long term, predictive analytics will become increasingly critical to facilitate more efficient just-in-time supply chains across the full logistics ecosystem.

The SCM market has benefited from significant inflows of investment capital, spanning both private growth capital investments as well as M&A activity from incumbent providers. Given the market is subject to rapidly changing technology paradigms, market share continues to be up for grabs as expansion by new entrants with cloud-first, point solutions drives this modernization. In particular, we’ve seen recent trends result in a notable increase in interest in preventative, forward-looking capabilities, such as procure-to-pay, visibility and demand planning.
