Each and every large consumer of paper, every printer or paper converter, every paper producer and paper logistics company put long-term profitability at the heart of management strategies.
More and more, transparency and visibility solutions are fundamental to fine-tuned supply chains and tight print-shop procedures and can bring a return on investment far beyond the cost of its implementation.
Paper stock accrues value as it moves upstream and so grows the profit from visibility in the supply chain.

Business enterprises depend on reliable and verifiable data to be fleet of foot when they need to be day-to-day and also to pursue big ambitions.
The paper and board supply chain that moves between the paper producer and dispatch of the final printed converted product is complex. Compliance with industry standards, European regulations and customer demands puts high on the agenda the ability for all parties to track and trace raw material consignments
in transit by road, sea and rail and from warehouse to shop floor to point of dispatch.

The business world is unpredictable by nature – customers can be fickle and supplies prone to disruption.
A supply chain logistics surveillance system makes hard facts accessible in real-time to make accurate and justifiable “spot” decisions. Furthermore, the generated data can be analysed and used to drive strategic business decisions. In the near future, the global world will still need increasing transparency: new
technologies make the path for still more efficient solutions for companies that want to keep a strong place on their market.
Companies that would not be able to adapt to this trend are … to disappear from the global markets.

Good tracking and tracing practices cut the risk of missing an opportunity to capture the profit potential from current activities, limit risk when rolling out new products and services, increase the chance of a successful new enterprise or spin out.
Blind spots in the supply chain are opportunities for others to make profit from carelessness, negligence and simple human error.
