In an era defined by volatility, complexity, and rising customer expectations, supply chain leaders are under immense pressure to deliver both resilience and efficiency. The answer for many organizations lies in the adoption of supply chain control towers—digital command centers that provide real-time, 360-degree visibility, predictive analytics, and actionable insights across the entire supply network. At Publicis Sapient, we help organizations harness the full power of control towers to transform their supply chains into agile, value-generating ecosystems.
