Technology hardware supply chains face unprecedented disruptions in today's rapidly evolving business landscape. According to recent research, supply chain workers spend 35% of their time on manual data entry, tracking, or management, leading to nearly 14 hours per week diverting from strategic activities. As a result, companies acting as technology hardware supply chains must build resilience and mitigate disruptions.
