Odette International Conference 2020
21st Odette International Automotive Conference & Exhibition for Supply Chain Professionals and Digital Transformation Experts
Keep me informed about Odette2020
The automotive logistics and technology sector in CEE countries is evolving rapidly on the back of growing investment in high-tech manufacturing and R&D from some of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers.
As the automotive sector continues to grow in importance in this region, it is vital that automotive logistics and technology leaders are prepared for the challenges ahead.
The Odette International Conference & Exhibition is the only event in Europe where around 300 supply chain professionals and digital transformation specialists from more than 20 automotive countries come together under one roof to contribute to and benefit from the insights of industry experts on the most important challenges facing the industry today and tomorrow not only in Europe but across the world.
May 2020 will be here before you know it, so block 25 & 26 in your calendar today for Odette2020 to learn how to make your supply chain more collaborative, agile and sustainable and how to start doing things differently to stay ahead of the game.
Digital Transformation
The transformation of businesses that is brought about by digitalisation is commonly referred to as digital disruption. There is no denying that such a profound transformation is disruptive but in our eyes the drive to digital is also a journey of great discovery. Whatever your view, disruption or discovery, in order to survive in this environment it is clear that businesses must be agile and focus on responding quickly to fundamental changes.
It’s about the capability of an enterprise to master information and only those who know how to make use of the increasing volume of available data will make the difference and be successful.
But digitalisation of the supply chain is
certainly not a new topic and Odette has been at the forefront of the
information revolution. Although possibly considered as ‘disruptive’ in the
1980s, Odette standards, especially in the areas of electronic messaging, auto
id and telecommunications, are now ‘run of the mill’ implementations which have
saved billions for the industry over the past 30 years. In order to take maximum
advantage from earlier investments, organisations must take a holistic approach
in rebuilding business processes and consider how the integration of the latest
innovations can enhance the capabilities of more traditional legacy technologies.
Having an ecosystem of forward looking business partners is vital in tackling the real challenges of digitalisation and in bringing fresh thinking to your own company and colleagues. At Odette2020, you can discover how your peers are approaching the next steps and how they are leveraging new and existing technology to effectively bridge the data gap, whilst learning how others from the global automotive supply chain and beyond are discovering how to minimise the disruption of the drive to digital.
