The Supply Chain Management Review NextGen Awards
NGSC Awards recognizes the companies shaping tomorrow’s supply chains with advances that are helping organizations navigate the complexities of the modern supply chain while also preparing them for success in the future.
The Solution Provider and End User Awards are project based and recognize achievements with the integration of robotics, data analytics and AI into different areas in the supply chain, from planning to order fulfillment, as well as the digital transformation of the supply chain. The Visionary Award recognizes an organization that is taking supply chain management to the next level.
