Cubs vs. Brewers – Wrigley Field
Continue the discussion from the stands–a “grand slam” ending to a productive day of knowledge sharing and networking.
Location: American Airlines Conference Center (Wrigley Field), Chicago, IL
Continued economic uncertainty, recent changes to import tariffs, and evolving commercial models illuminate the importance of visibility and intelligence across your end-to-end supply chain. Recent research1 conducted by ZS solidifies the trend highlighting that 93% of U.S. executives in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences anticipate increased investments in data, digital, and AI initiatives in 2025 to meet these needs.
With today’s complex and highly outsourced supply networks, ensuring on-time and in-full (OTIF) order delivery for all of your customers is a massive challenge, driving new demands for optimizing supply and demand forecasting, ensuring product availability, and improving operational efficiency of routine supply chain processes. In addition, leaders are being pressed to show how they are leveraging their DSCSA compliance investments for business and operational value.
By enabling real-time, end-to-end data exchange for all processes, across all network partners, you can meet strategic goals and operational requirements such as:
- Maximizing revenue by avoiding out-of-stocks
- Improving operational efficiency by digitalizing the order-to-cash process
- Enabling direct-to-pharmacy and other emerging commercial channel models
- Improving order fulfillment and inventory replenishment performance with real-time customer demand visibility
- Eliminating failure-to-supply fines through enhanced supply planning
- Accelerating financial reconciliation and payment processes by accessing business transaction and related serialized product data from trade partners
- Keeping ASNs flowing for business as DSCSA shifts to EPCIS format
