To take advantage of the disparate data sets created within supply chain workflows, you first need to focus in on that key business objective for a supply chain organization: delivering better quality products more efficiently at scale. A data fabric can simplify data access in an organization to facilitate self-service data consumption, while remaining agnostic to data environments, processes, utility, and geography. A data fabric automates data discovery, governance, and consumption, enabling enterprises to use data to maximize their value chain by providing the right data at the right time, regardless of where it resides. Additionally, you can generate golden records that ensure product data consistency across the various data sources and enable a smoother experience when integrating data assets for analysis within a data fabric architecture. Ultimately, the data fabric architecture can help significantly reduce time-to-insights by unifying fragmented data on a singular platform in a governed manner in any industry, not just the retail or supply chain space.
