About this Presentation
In today’s marketplace, where products are commoditized and price is no longer a differentiator, inventory turnover becomes a decisive source of competitive advantage. Miguel Abuhab, Founder and Chairman of Neogrid, will share how outdated business rules rooted in past technological constraints continue to limit performance — and how shifting to synchronous, demand-driven practices can unlock higher returns on inventory, reduce out-of-stocks, and improve cash flow across the supply chain.
