"The Supply Chain may be living its glory hour" Zahir Bouchaala, CEO of BEVOLTA

On the occasion of the Supply Chain Event taking place on Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th November at the Porte de Versailles in Paris, the co-founder of the BEVOLTA solution "Supply Chain Agility" shares his insights on the current context.

“In twenty years of experience, I have never seen such excitement. Health crisis, ecological transition, era of everything digital… Never has logistics organization been so much in the eye of the storm. This storm generates its share of uncertainties, even legitimate concerns. But it is well known that crises create new opportunities, and in this context the Supply Chain may be living its moment of glory. Indeed, for industrial and distribution companies, this is where the essence of value creation is now at stake.

For example, it is the shortages of electronic components that impact the entire value chain, it is the carbon footprint of products that we want to lighten, the waste of resources that we want to reduce to a minimum. It is the desire to better serve clients who are becoming increasingly demanding.

When I created BEVOLTA with my partner Camille Wanty, we started from a strong conviction: the Supply Chain needed to be more connected to actual demand, based on the observation that existing management tools were poorly suited to an increasingly uncertain and volatile context. We were then far from imagining that events would – to this extent – prove us right.

Nearly 8 years later, we are proud to have created a solution whose innovation goes well beyond the Demand Driven methodology it is based on. Effective, flexible, user-centred, BEVOLTA " Supply Chain Agility " appeals to both SMEs lacking supply chain expertise and the first French industrial unicorn EXOTEC, undoubtedly one of the most innovative technology companies in the French industrial ecosystem.

As we can see, the future is not just cloudy, it is also bright for all those who, like us, want to deploy new models where innovation combines with sustainability.

In this vision, the Agile Supply Chain is strategic. More than ever. ”
