AB  - This chapter analyzes the importance of technologies as drivers for managing supply chains. The focus
will be on the advantages of the use of information technologies to improve company's efficiency to be
competitive and for the reduction of costs, improvement of operations, improvement of relationships with
customers, suppliers and partners, shortening of delivering times, streamlining and optimization of
business processes and operations. The use of new technologies contributes to improve efficiency of
supply chain management: raw material suppliers, component manufacturers, finished product
manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. Technologies allow an integrated approach to planning, control
and monitoring of product flows, from suppliers to end users. They aim at improve customer service at
reduced overall costs, and leads to the development of important relationships with logistics providers,
suppliers, and customers in order to enhance information exchange and the coordination of business
activities, which are the key advantages of an integrated supply chain with the collaboration among all the
participants in the value chain.
