What is it about?
As digital tools transform supply chains, companies must decide where to invest. This study uses data from 239 apparel professionals to show that both process and technical digitalisation boost performance, with technical tools having the bigger impact. It finds that large firms gain more from process improvements, while technical upgrades help companies of all sizes.
