Top 20: supply chain management software suppliers

摘要

The market for supply chain management (SCM) software, maintenance and services continued its growth in 2014, generating $9,924 billion in 2014, a nearly 10% increase over 2013 revenues, according to the research firm Gartner (gartner.com). That total includes applications for supply chain execution (SCE), supply chain planning (SCP) and, for the second year in a row, procurement software. Since 2009s 2% decline, the SCM market has posted double-digit growth in three of the past four years, according to Gartner. SCM applications outpaced most software markets, "because supply chain remains a key source of competitive advantage in driving business growth objectives," according to Chad Eschinger, Gartner's vice president of supply chain.
