The Challenge Supply chain managers must remain connected to ongoing operations, such as monitoring shipments and addressing delays, even when they are not in the office. The challenge lies in enabling professionals to manage critical tasks without being tied to a workstation, ensuring that they can still make informed decisions in real-time.

Use Case Olivia, a supply chain manager, is in her car waiting to pick up her children from school. During this brief period of downtime, she uses her AR glasses to check the status of critical shipments. With a voice command, she brings up a live map showing the locations of shipments, their delivery statuses, and any potential delays. She can also send alerts or take actions, such as notifying Warehouse X about a potential delay, all without needing to use her hands or look away from her surroundings.

Value Added The use case provides immediate value by allowing supply chain managers like Olivia to stay updated on crucial shipments, even while they are away from the office. This hands-free, real-time tracking ensures that decisions can be made promptly, reducing the risk of delays and improving supply chain efficiency. The ability to manage work during otherwise unproductive time, like waiting in the car, enhances work-life balance and enables professionals to stay engaged with both personal and professional responsibilities. This type of seamless integration of work and personal life can lead to increased productivity, satisfaction, and overall efficiency in the supply chain sector.
