The document discusses the supply chain control tower, which acts as a centralized hub that compiles information from a company's existing systems. It integrates processes and tools across the entire supply chain. When implemented effectively, the control tower enables cross-functional collaboration for improved decision-making based on real-time insights. It can help shift a supply chain from order fulfillment to sensing and shaping demand while reducing costs and driving revenue.

THE SUPPLY CHAIN CONTROL TOWER ACTS AS A
CENTRALIZED HUB THAT COMPILES INFORMATION FROM A
COMPANY’S EXISTING, INTEGRATED DATA MANAGEMENT AND
TRANSACTIONAL SYSTEMS AND THEN INTEGRATES
PROCESSES AND TOOLS ACROSS THE END-TO-END SUPPLY
CHAIN.
When properly executed, the Supply Chain Control Tower drives
cross-functional collaboration for operational excellence and informed
decision making based on real-time insights. It can shift the supply
chain from just a method of fulfilling orders to a vehicle for sensing
and shaping demand—and expand its capabilities from simply
minimizing costs to also driving the top line.
