Someone said that Google Analytics (GA) is for sales and marketing, it is tool much of a stretch use if for supply chain management.
I certainly don't think so. Good marketing and sales capability means good forecast and synchronization with operations.
The proliferation of online commerce and use of analytics tools like GA has not only help to grow sales for operations synchronization, but ahead also developed better forecasts to minimize obsolete inventory. In fact, I think GA is about accurate forecasts and growing demand.
It will be interesting to develop a whole business to help companies reduce markdowns and write offs by adjusting prices and GA.
This blog covers new pull supply chain responsiveness and logistics concepts for hubs with good air and sea-freight connectivity like Singapore. Big data and web analytics are creating new demand opportunities, and help operations meet growing global regulatory standards. Very often, my work also involves helping online retailers improve operations. Discussions spans from raw materials serialization, to manufacturing, marketing and sales. Visualization and analysis techniques are also shared.
