Google Cloud on Tuesday launched Supply Chain Twin, a service that helps organizations leverage data from disparate sources to better understand their physical supply chain. The cloud company is also launching the Supply Chain Pulse module to provide supply chain managers with real-time dashboards, advanced analytics, alerts and collaboration in Google Workspace.
Over the past year, a series of external events — like the Covid-19 pandemic, climate-related disasters and the blockage in the Suez Canal — have underscored the vulnerability of global supply chains. As companies race to improve their resiliency, Google is pitching better supply chain visibility.
