The basic tools used for the digitization of the supply chain industry are Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, GPS, Electronic Data, Robotic Technologies, and the most advanced is the use of Drones.
Internet, Electronic Data, Interchange, GPS, and Decision Support systems (DSS) are the technologies that were the game-changers. Cloud computing has brought about a revolutionary change in the supply chain industry. Robotic technologies help to cut down manual involvement and to enhance efficiency and save time and money in the long run. The collaboration of human resources, artificial intelligence, technologies, and software is the digitization motto.

The implementation of automation and digitization leads to the augmentation of the supply chain industry.
Barcode technology and RFID are used in inventory management, transparent tracking, logistics, route mapping, and on-time delivery. SCM Software is inevitable in the digitized supply chain industry. It generates big data which is analyzed by Artificial Intelligence and it generates the needed signal for the smooth running of the operation. Implementing artificial intelligence helps in forecasting the product demand, which can be helpful for the manufacturers to produce as per need. It helps in saving loss of energy, resources, and money.
The data of previous or historic sales cycles, product reviews, and competitive products in the market, website visits, help Artificial Intelligence to predict the market demand. The huge paperwork and manual involvement in the documentation and storage of information are avoidable by digitization. The artificial intelligence algorithm can store the database for later utilization.
One of the impressive applications of artificial intelligence is the chatbot. It helps in answering the queries of the customers. All the frequently asked questions that customers asked about their orders, delivery, and tracking can be answered by the information stored, that contains the answers to the commonly asked question. Natural language processing is applied to bots, which gives a faster response and keeps customers satisfied.
Digitization is also transforming the Reverse Logistics Supply Chain. It helps in reselling returned items that would otherwise be wasted. Organizations are searching for ways to use innovative ways to help consumer returns. Advanced data platforms are revolutionizing the Reverse Logistics Industry.
