Learn about the emerging IBP technologies changing the game in supply chain with Darrell Edwards.

According to a recent study conducted by PwC, 41% of consumers stated they are willing to pay added fees to have the package delivered the same day it is ordered. With consumer expectations further shifting to an always-on virtual e-commerce experience, same day delivery expenditure is expected to reach $15.6 billion by 2025 in the U.S. alone.

Additional research from McKinsey & Company recently reported that mature integrated business planning (IBP) processes increased sales opportunities by as much as 50%, improved service levels up to 20%, and lowered freighter costs by 10 to 15%.

How can retailers and supply chains leverage the next generation of IBP technology to remain competitive and leverage this market opportunity to increase the bottom-line? 

In this episode of Masters of Digital Transformation, host Caleb Masters is joined by Darrell Edwards, the former COO of La-Z-Boy, to discuss:

  • Why today’s consumer expectations have increased complexity for supply chains
  • How next-generation IBP technology is reshaping the way supply chain operations deliver results
  • Leading teams through the adoption of new IBP technologies
