REVEALED: Which company is the world's supply chain champion?

The continuous development of technology means the supply chain is constantly evolving as companies work to make their processes better. Which company has the best supply chain practices? Has the same company been leading the way for the last decade?

REVEALED: Which company is the world's supply chain champion?

I wanted to get in touch as Vero Solutions have analysed Gartner's annual list of the best supply chains over the last decade to find out which companies and industries are leading the way.

You can view the piece here (https://vero.solutions/a-decade-of-the-worlds-supply-chain-champions/) and here's a few stories the piece reveals that may be of interest to your readers:


Who is leading the way for 2018?
Unilever takes top spot as the best supply chain in 2018, a position it has kept since 2016. The company has ranked in the top 25 supply chains since 2009, however did not reach the top 10 until 2013 where it ranked 10th - due to the scale of products this company creates, is there any surprise that their supply chain is nothing less than the best?

Which companies are still making the list 10 years on?
Well, its only Cisco Systems - a multinational technology company based in San Jose, California - that is left standing. In 2008, Nokia was positioned at second place but dropped off the list entirely after 2009, and the same happened to Toyota Motor.

Which industry is leading the way overall?
Whilst the top 10 2008 companies were dominated by the technology industry, including Samsung Electronics and IBM, the food, drinks and the retail industries take up most of the leaderboard in 2018 with PepsiCo, H&M and Starbucks featuring in the top 10.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
