Intelligent control tower solutions that you can control and customize for planning, execution, and collaboration across the One Network platform
As the world has become more connected and interdependent, supply chains have been visible on the world stage like never before. Global supply chains have been stressed and challenged as everything else has during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Not having enough PPE for healthcare workers to do their jobs safely
- The challenge of producing and distributing a record number of vaccines across the globe
- Semiconductor shortages bringing automotive assembly lines to a halt
- Unknown fallout from the blockage of the Suez Canal
All these have all made headlines recently, as well as resolutions to safeguard critical supply chains from the desks of the last two US presidents.
With the shift to online shopping, many businesses struggled to adapt their business models and supply chain technology to cope. 68% of retailers experienced moderate to severe disruption of their supply chains (RetailNext’s CEO Retailer Pulse, April 2020). Your business has likely faced new challenges as well.
The problem is, traditional supply chain technologies like ERP, one-to-many portals, and B2B networks, struggle to pivot in such instances. The major reason is that they are not networks, but one-to-one, or one-to-many systems, with hardwired connections to trading partners.

Share on XOne Network’s Real Time Value Network is radically different. It is a true many-to-many network, enabling any business on the network to quickly and virtually connect to any number of other businesses on the network. You connect once to the NEO Platform and then can be virtually connected to any other organization on the network (in the same way you only need to sign up once for LinkedIn and can then connect with anyone else).
