McKinsey predicts that over the course of a decade the average company will lose half of a year’s profits due to supply chain disruptions. Today’s supply chain managers must manage constant disruptions like economic instability, uncertainty over demand, unexpected delays in raw materials and logistics, and operations stoppages due to lack of resources. ParkourSC provides an agile, real-time platform to business leaders and supply chain executives that enables innovation and resilience in the face of disruption, all without the need to make costly changes to their existing technologies and infrastructure.
“Supply chain disruptions remain a number one issue for CEOs across industries, underscoring that there are many opportunities for innovation, improved efficiency, and more reliable resiliency,” said John Chambers, CEO of JC2 Ventures. “Supply chain operators today are faced with endless challenges and require tools that enable them to make well-informed decisions at any given moment. ParkourSC is arming the industry with a more transparent view across every aspect of supply chains, allowing their customers to remain agile in a way that has never been done before.”
