With this rapid development in the Supply Chain sec-tor and growing competition, the time is to exceed expectations that are going beyond the next level.

Day by Day, hour and hour the industry is moving to get innovative systems in place to improve efficiency, ac-curacy and avoid manual errors. Supply Chain Industry need to adopt "Innovate or Die" to exceed consumer expectations. In this urgent quest to accelerate faster, time is to take greater risks looking into such bleeding edge technologies and above all the right investments and willingness to try and create awareness towards customer-centricity.

Further to add on Supply chains must now focus on also to converge their foundational capabilities, with new and emerging digital strategies in order to not only compete but also prosper and grow in the rapidly evolving era. The old traditional practices need to be re-placed or redefined as the very way daily tasks are conducted need to be completely transformed with growing customer expectations.

Time is to take big leaps in Innovation, Best industry practices, Business Intelligence, leading technology Digitalization not to be in the rat race or survival but to surprise the end customer and exceed expectations.
