Hello Everyone,
Supply chains have become more than just operational engines — they are now critical differentiators for businesses. Between 2018 and 2023, resilient companies achieved 23% revenue growth on average, compared to 15% for others, according to Oliver Wyman’s research. This data makes one thing clear: those who invest in supply chain agility and visibility gain a decisive competitive edge.
2024 has only amplified the need for resilience. With rising geopolitical changes, evolving compliance mandates, and the focus on sustainability, enterprises can no longer afford to rely on outdated supply chain strategies.
More Global Top 10 Enterprises Place Their Trust in Roambee
In H2 2024, our revenues grew by 66%, while we added 11 new enterprise customers, bringing the year’s total to 39 across key industries, including automotive, pharmaceuticals, retail, and logistics. Several Fortune Global Top 10 companies now rely on Roambee’s AI-driven insights and predictive analytics to transform their operations.
Some of the most notable engagements included:
- Kuehne + Nagel reduced pharmaceutical spoilage risks and improved compliance in Italy through real-time temperature monitoring.
- A Global Healthcare Company improved patient outcomes by ensuring timely, secure deliveries of high-value medical shipments with last-mile visibility.
- An International Airline cut aircraft turnaround times by tracking maintenance tools in real-time.
Driving Hyper-Precision: Roambee-Xona Space Systems Partnership
When precision matters in logistics, it’s not just about knowing where something is — it’s about predicting when it will arrive and in what condition, with enough foresight to act decisively. Our partnership with Xona Space Systems addresses this by offering location accuracy far beyond conventional GPS.
Xona’s Pulsar service provides centimeter-level precision, paving the way for groundbreaking improvements in supply chain operations. Imagine a chemical manufacturer precisely aligning raw material deliveries with production schedules or a retailer optimizing cross-docking to reduce bottlenecks and speed up replenishments. These aren’t distant possibilities—we are already piloting these capabilities with select partners.
With Xona’s first production satellite launch set for mid-2025, we are leading the charge by integrating this advanced precision into our existing IoT platform without costly hardware overhauls for our customers. This sets a new standard for real-time decision-making in logistics.
Why does this matter? Historically, supply chains have prioritized efficiency at the cost of resilience. Centimeter-level accuracy changes the game—it shifts enterprises from reactive responses to proactive decisions, allowing for dynamic rerouting of shipments and minimizing downtime. The potential to reduce delays, increase throughput, and improve overall supply chain reliability is enormous.

The SCI Lab Milestones & 2025 Predicted Trends: Advancing Smarter Supply Chain Decisions
Since its launch, The Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) Lab has become a hub for actionable innovation, bringing industry leaders together to address pressing supply chain challenges.
The consistent, and extremely favorable, feedback throughout the year underscored the growing importance of cross-department collaboration and the right balance of automation with human expertise. These learnings have directly influenced Roambee’s technology and strategic roadmap for 2025.
What’s Next for 2025: Key Trends Shaping the Future
Looking ahead, several critical trends are set to reshape the industry. Leading enterprises realize that mitigating geopolitical risks through diversified sourcing and resilient planning is not just a defensive move but a competitive advantage. This was covered in a recent BCG study that underscores that companies excelling in resilient supply chains can outperform their peers significantly, turning risk management into a lever for growth. By integrating data-driven frameworks, organizations can better balance cost, quality, and delivery with essential factors like risk, sustainability, and market access. This shift not only secures continuity but also enhances long-term value creation across the supply chain ecosystem.
1. Customer-Centric Supply Chains
A customer-centric supply chain puts the customer at the heart of operations, moving from reactive, linear processes to dynamic, collaborative systems. By “shifting left,” it integrates customers early to ensure agility, transparency, and resilience.
Driving Factors: Increased demand for real-time transparency, accountability in the chain of custody, and collaborative planning to mitigate downstream impacts.
Roambee’s Approach: Enabling real-time information sharing through “information corridors” and fostering shared risk models to build trust and mitigate disruptions.
2. Death of Dashboards; Birth of Real-Time Scenario Planning
Static dashboards are being replaced by AI-powered scenario engines that provide real-time, actionable insights. These tools enable businesses to adapt instantly, merging planning and execution seamlessly.
Driving Factors: The inefficiency of static dashboards, demand for instant answers to complex questions, and crises like the Red Sea disruptions exposing planning gaps.
Roambee’s Approach: Introducing dynamic scenario engines that process unstructured data and support rapid, “what-if” decision-making.

3. Transport Mode Optimization for Cost + Sustainability
Transport mode optimization balances cost efficiency and sustainability by integrating data-driven choices into logistics. This ensures compliance with green regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.
Driving Factors: Sustainability goals (e.g., IKEA reducing emissions by 70%), regulatory pressure, and cost savings from optimized transport modes.
Roambee’s Approach: Providing visibility across transport modes, integrating sustainability metrics, and enabling predictive analysis for cost and environmental impacts.
4. Consolidation of Fragmented Supply Chain Tech Stacks
Consolidating fragmented tech stacks creates unified, modular systems that streamline supply chain operations. This approach simplifies integration and fosters seamless collaboration across all partners.
Driving Factors: The need to reduce operational complexity and integrate siloed tools for better collaboration.
Roambee’s Approach: Offering modular platforms that connect tracking, analytics, and predictive tools into a single system.
A Look Ahead: Smarter Supply Chains Powered by Decision Intelligence in a Complex World
As we move into 2025, our focus remains clear—empowering enterprises with advanced, real-time decision-making tools that drive proactive scenario planning.
We are excited about the road ahead and grateful for the trust and support from our customers, partners, and stakeholders. Together, we are shaping a smarter, faster, and more reliable future for supply chains.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to a successful and transformative 2025!
Warm regards,
