“G10 on Tour” Gets Off to a Great Start at The CTRM Conference

It was a great couple of days at the CTRM Conference in London last week, so congratulations to the event organisers, CTRM Center and Commodities Now. Based on what the speakers said during the official conference sessions and what our peers, colleagues and partners said during informal discussions, it’s become crystal clear that there is an urgent need to increase visibility and transparency throughout the supply chain.

Today’s commodity businesses need a CTRM solution that is:

1. Quick and easy to implement,
2. Flexible,
3. Cost-effective,
4. User friendly,
5. Scalable, and
6. Able to offer restricted access to third parties.

It proved to be a valuable forum for discussing the issues and opportunities we face in this complex industry, and we were happy to support the conference through Generation 10’s Platinum Sponsorship.

We look forward to continuing these discussions at a number of events during our busy Q4 travel season. If you plan to attend any of the events listed below, please take a few minutes to stop by and see us in our exhibit booth. We’ll show you how to increase visibility into your operations, streamline your supply chain, get more value from your data, and above all, see things more clearly!
