“Supply chains are becoming increasingly complex, and customers are demanding more actionable insights to help them understand and act on what is happening in real-time,” said Barry Conlon, CEO and Founder of Overhaul. “They don’t want long deployments or heavy integrations, they need solutions that return on investment in the short term with long term growth to adapt to the evolving needs of their business. Collaboration and interoperability are vital pieces of the supply chain, by delivering our solution with Microsoft, we will take supply chains from being able to sense and respond, to being capable of anticipating and acting, helping shippers deliver truly innovative supply chains in far less time and with greater precision.”
“In-transit shipments are the black hole of the supply chain,” said David Warrick, Executive Vice President of Enterprise at Overhaul. “Without visibility, companies are left unaware of what happens to a shipment or product once it leaves a dock. Overhaul’s in-transit visibility, risk, and compliance data empowers a deeper level of real-time risk scenarios with new, contextual data down to the product level.”
