To paraphrase Farmers Insurance, we’ve learned a thing or two because we’ve seen a thing or two over our 30 years in supply chain software and professional services. We’ve documented some of our most interesting learnings in our resource center. Among the white papers, ebooks, infographics, and blogs, we’ve also shared several case studies. Each covers challenges that are faced every day. Here are a few of our most popular ones.
