In the brand new issue of SupplyChain Digital, we look into RFID and barcoding technologies. Our roving reporter, Liz Wells, sets the record straight about the difference between the two technologies and what potential they hold for the future of the supply chain.

Running with the technology theme, we also investigate IT outsourcing. While it’s an emerging trend, there are associated risks – follow our experts’ advice to manage them.

Then we head to China to profile its growing procurement industry. The country’s manufacturers may have received some negative press of late but there are plenty of opportunities for foreign investment, as we discovered.

Finally, we profile the latest racking systems for all your warehousing needs.

Then it’s business as usual in the rest of the magazine, with company reports on the industry’s big names, as well as events and news.

As ever, we welcome any feedback on the magazine; whether it’s about some of the issues raised in the features, or a comment about our coverage of the industry news and events. If you think we aren’t doing something right, then we want to hear from you. Alternatively, if you think we’ve covered some vital supply chain concerns, then we want to know about that too.
