The Spec-First Supply Chain: Using Data to Navigate Disruptions
Supply chains are more fragile than ever — but the right data can turn disruption into opportunity.

And while many companies lean on spreadsheets or outdated systems, leading organizations are taking a new approach: putting specification data at the center of their supply chain strategy.

“…We went down the path with PLM SAP several times and the product in and of itself is overly complex…When we came across Specright, it’s the ease of use of the tool. If you look at the platform, you look for an item and traverse through the lineage of the ingredients and the packaging and the labels, it’s so easy to use that then we got more adoption and more support to do the project.”
