Disrupting Supply Chain Management: Meet Startups Driving Innovation

Supply chain and logistics are the backbone of global trade but as the demand is growing the disruptions in the industry is becoming more frequent. Result? Traditional logistics systems are struggling like delays, inefficiencies, and a lack of real-time visibility create bottlenecks that impact businesses and consumers alike.

Here is where emerging technologies like Artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Smart sensors, GPS tracking, RFID tags etc are helping businesses to resolve the challenges. Together, these innovations improving efficiency and reshaping supply chains to be faster, smarter, and more resilient. Here blog highlight the top challenges Supply Chain Management Industry is facing and the tech driven startups incubated and supported by MeitY nasscom CoE resolving these challenges.

Lack of transparency is something supply chain industry faces the different stages of the process. Delays, misplaced shipments, and inventory shortages often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Currently most of the warehouses rely on manual processes which leading to errors, delays, and inefficiencies in inventory management. Picking, sorting, and restocking can become bottlenecks, slowing down the entire supply chain.

Inaccurate demand forecasting predications leads to two major nightmares. Overstocking and understocking. Which causes major operation challenge – one leading to tying up capital and the other one causing missed sales opportunities.

Involvement of multiple stakeholders can sometimes make them vulnerable to fraud, counterfeiting, and data breaches as there is no proper accountability mapping. This results to challenges like lack authenticity of goods, compliance with regulations and frauds.

Transportation expenses is something that can affecting overall supply chain profitability and working. The uncertain fuel costs changes, inefficient route planning and unexpected delays are the major challenges the SCM industry faces.

The Indian supply chain management ecosystem is undergoing a major shift by addressing the above challenges with cutting edge solutions. Leading this transformation are these brilliant minds that are leveraging deep-tech technology to solve industry bottlenecks, enhance efficiency, and build resilient logistics networks.
