PROCUREMENT TRANSFORMATION

36

Is K-View just the first step in an extended transformation ? What other technological innovations do you plan on implementing in your manufacturing , supply chain and logistics processes ? The current deployment of K-View is our first step in an extended transformation . We initially wanted to develop a portal that supported our distributors and end-customers . After its launch , we realised how beneficial the portal was for our business , so we expanded it to our departments and entire supply chain .

We plan to grow this digital transformation and begin launching the portal throughout Komatsu America ’ s network globally . Additionally , Komatsu Limited has noticed the positive impact the portal has had on our business .

As such , it has been enquiring about how they could potentially integrate K-View into its supply chain . Our team will continue to grow and evolve the technology we utilise in North America and throughout our global network .
