How can AI help Main Contractors Reimagine the Construction Supply Chain? (EP 170)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode features Paul and Chris Barber, the Chief Visionary Officer (CVO) at C-Link and Prosper.
Together, they delve into the current state of supply chain management in the construction industry.
For many main contractors, supply chain management often boils down to an outdated Excel spreadsheet listing subcontractors. This antiquated method offers little real-time information and exposes stakeholders to unnecessary risks. But why does this persist as the norm?
Chris offers a compelling vision for the future of construction, where traditional spreadsheets become obsolete. Instead, main contractors can seamlessly visualise their supply chains in a unified platform, leveraging AI to handpick the most suitable contractors and access real-time business insights.
