The Internet of Things, or commonly known as IoT, is one of the buzzwords that many people talk about these days. It is a large-scale technological innovation that is set to overhaul the way people interact with the society fully.

IoT technologies are not only bounded on mobile devices or desktop computers; it can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a cow or horse with a biochip transponder, a car with a built-in tire sensor that alerts the driver when the tire pressure is low.

In the business landscape, the IoT strategic approach would be aimed at streamlining processes and improving client satisfaction using technologies and tools that automate tasks and reduce human interaction.

This is only imperative as the increasing number of business devices and machines that can be connected to the internet produces more data at a staggering rate which needs to be utilized in order to remain competitive. To put the trove of information into use, many companies across different sectors are looking forward to integrating IoT platforms into their day-to-day operations – one of such is the supply chain sector.
