Supply Chain Data Management

Modernization brings powerful tools—and new complexity. We align data, governance, and operations to quickly capture value at scale. 

In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, supply chains are under pressure to modernize using technologies, including big data, AI, and advanced analytics. But with modernization comes complexity—often overlooked and misunderstood. At Wilson Perumal & Company (WP&C), we help organizations navigate this complexity to unlock the full value of their data.

Data complexity erodes supply chain performance

Technology connects processes and data—but unmanaged complexity erodes performance. Our complexity lens ties data management directly to execution, improving profit, speed, and resilience.

Common challenges we solve:
•  Rework from inconsistent data
•  Siloed access to operational data
•  Low automation in planning and order processing
•  Unclear data accountability
•  Analytics that don’t translate to frontline action
