IDC PeerScape: Practices for Real-Time Tracking and Traceability in Business-To-Business Supply Chains


This IDC PeerScape examines the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and real-time tracking technologies in refining supply chain management (SCM), highlighting their application from intralogistics to comprehensive supply chain visibility. It outlines how IoT devices, integrated with business-to-business (B2B) commerce platforms, facilitate the collection of real-time data on inventory, shipment statuses, and product quality. This integration enables organizations to make informed decisions, optimizing supply chain processes and operational efficiency. Despite the potential benefits, the adoption of these technologies in Asia/Pacific encounters challenges, including varying levels of infrastructure readiness, complex regulatory environments, and disparities in technological adoption."Real-time data is revolutionizing supply chain operations, fundamentally altering established methodologies," says Stephanie Krishnan, associate VP, Manufacturing, Retail, and Energy Insights, IDC. "Organizations that are reluctant to embrace real-time visibility with regard to location and other measures will find their agility compromised, struggling to keep pace in a landscape in which instant insights are pivotal to maintaining competitive advantage," she adds.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
