With Axon you can readily construct a bespoke digital representation of all your supply chains in a purpose-built platform that is compatible with all of our extended solutions.
Integrate

- Integrating these systems gives you a single source of truth for all your supply chain interests
- Axon provides complete bidirectional connectivity between all your heterogenous data sources, regardless of format
- With centralized control, it’s easy to extract, inject and publish your business-critical data in near real-time
Connect
- Data shared across organizations, systems and processes inevitably varies in quality or contain gaps and will often be out of sync
