Product Manager SCM
There is one thing we can rely on in this world: Change.

As Product Manager at SupplyOn, it is my job to embrace these new trends and to continually advance our products with these future trends in mind – and, above all, to involve the people who actually work with our systems. In my blog, I’d like to show you how you can take advantage of these opportunities.
