Supply Chain Management Software (SCM)

The WCAS Perspective on Supply Chain Management Software

The U.S. supply chain and logistics industry is valued at an estimated $2 trillion and makes up roughly 8% of GDP. Despite the industry’s critical importance to global commerce, supply chain leaders have historically relied on legacy systems and manual processes.

Over 50%

of supply chain software is still on-premise.

54%

expected in the supply chain software market growth rate from 2023' to 2026.

228%

increase in reshoring job announcements since 2019.³

WCAS is investing in driving the digitization of supply chains to enable commerce and the flow of goods globally. Today’s supply chains are highly fragmented, and with disruptive events becoming increasingly common, supply chain resiliency has become a board-level issue. Companies are investing in modern technology to break down inefficiencies and transform how they transact, manage inventories and respond to changes driven by consumer behavior. We believe we’re in the early innings of this process and that significant opportunities exist to help shippers and logistics service providers build the supply chains of the future through greater collaboration, visibility and agility.

Supply chain management trends we're excited to invest behind

Nearshoring: Firms relocate manufacturing closer to consumers. Tech investments are essential for resilience in managing new supply routes and diverse partnerships.

The "Amazon Effect": E-commerce drives growth, reshaping consumer expectations and straining physical supply chains.

Shortage of supply chain labor, including truck drivers and warehouse workers, can be addressed by using technology to improve worker conditions, making logistics providers more attractive to scarce talent.

Recent Relevant Experience

We look forward to partnering with market-leading businesses, entrepreneurs and executives who share our vision of increasing supply chain efficiency through technology.
