Pre-pandemic , businesses already had a heightened interest in advanced analytics , so it was hardly a shock that COVID- 19 should be the catalyst for widespread end-to-end digitalisation of supply-chain processes .
According to a 2020 McKinsey report into how COVID has shaped supply chains , almost every company is either planning to invest in full-scale digitalisation or already has , with construction the only sector not embracing digital transformation en masse .
Today ’ s ongoing digitalisation programmes mostly focus on visibility , as companies strive for a better picture of the real-time performance of their supply chains .
