High-tech and telecommunications

The high-tech and telecommunications market is characterized by high standards of quality and constant innovation. The amount of new technologies and devices is constantly on the rise.

The increasing number of models produced and sold by different manufacturers and shorter product life cycles, pose a challenge to supply chain management as a function. Customer demand is difficult to predict due to changing trends, offers made by the competition and other factors. Because of all this, it is absolutely critical and a major challenge for suppliers to get the right model or product as quickly as possible. In order to guarantee that goods are available, large amounts of stock are accumulated, which lead to high costs and inefficiency.

These supply chains are often global and quite long when compared to the product life cycles. The networks themselves change quickly and are complex.
