Summary
Whilst there is significant research on supply chain finance, there is little information about its application to the omnichannel logistics. Hence, the primary adopted goal is to identify the ways of supporting the implementation and development of SSCM with use of Artificial Intelligence and developed SSCF implementation model. Potential paths to improve supply chain’s sustainability based on SSCF and AI are presented on the example of two internationally operating companies from the clothing industry using omnichannel. An exploratory case study has been conducted. Three methods were used to gather data: document/reports analysis, direct and participative observation and unstructured interviews. By implementing AI, supply chain leaders can more easily improve all key dimensions of sustainability, especially in the strategic field, based on strengthening partnership and cooperation with suppliers offering value-added materials that guarantee a competitive advantage. The paper contributes to the limited existing literature on SSCF and AI and disseminates this information to provide impetus, guidance and support toward increasing the productivity, efficiency, consistency and quality of service.
The cognitive goal of the article is to systematize the knowledge of supply chain finance (SCF) management in the context of contemporary trends and challenges in logistics. According to the authors, there is a need to draw attention to and organize knowledge in the field of combining supply chain finance with modern solutions such as blockchain technology or sustainable finance. As a part of the implementation of the goal, it was necessary to critically evaluate the current literature on SCF and current trends affecting the development of the SCF concept, as well as to formulate the potential effects of SCF management in the enterprise. Summarizing the considerations, the authors indicate the direction of further research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
