Another segment of the SCM market, supply chain execution (SCE), has shown remarkable stability in an overall weak software market. Supply chain execution is a broad term referring to the framework for managing the flow of materials. Most commonly, it brings to mind the management of outbound distribution of finished goods – so-called outbound logistics. It is important to note, however, that logistics also involve management of receiving functions (in-bound logistics) and optimisation of warehouse activities (warehouse management). Ibelieve that SCE will be one of the fastest growing segments in supply chain management over the next several years, with Atlanta-based vendor Manhattan Associates and India-based vendor Four Soft Ltd being the key beneficiaries.
