Rapid Onboarding / Multi-Partner Connectivity

Our API-Led Call to Action wasn’t about Redwood Logistics. Simple and Reliable connectivity was not our problem alone, nor was it a client-specific problem. It is a global problem. There is tremendous pressure to streamline the supply chain. Today, optimizing process and operations through connectivity is changing the game.

Internal & External Pressure

Lets discuss the text at the bottom. The slide title is about Supply CHain, but content doesnt really align to it. Could we say something like Supply Chain is still too fragmented, with too many participants and now, too many disparate systems that need to connect so that both visibility and automation efficencies can be realized.-Piontek, Richard
