At the core of TBC’s operational strategy is the enhancement of visibility across the supply chain through the adoption of advanced technology and data analytics. The company aims to improve demand forecasting, enable real-time inventory tracking, and speed up customer deliveries by leveraging these technologies.
A spokesperson from TBC highlighted the benefits of this strategy, stating that the newfound visibility would allow the company to quickly identify and resolve issues, minimizing or altogether preventing customer impact.
