> By offering a common information framework that supports communication and collaboration, SCM enables you to better adapt to and meet customer demands.
> You can track and monitor compliance in areas as environment, health and safety.

Better order, product and execution tracking can lead to improvements in performance and quality – and lower costs. You can also improve margins through better coordination with business partners.
