Ep.2 – How is Siemens Supply Chain Management dealing with Supplier Collaboration in a virtual setup?

Meet your supplier virtually, BUT in person … Sounds impossible? In this episode of the DigiPodcast, Thomas Holzner talks to Soenke Hotsch about a new possibility for supplier collaboration. Soenke introduces TriCAT, a slightly different tool for virtual collaborations. TriCAT allows to explore a 3-dimensional world with an avatar and makes direct communication even though in virtual worlds possible. Find out in this episode of the DigiPodcast how TriCAT makes the impossible possible. Will be the vision of having all facets of supplier negotiations, including implementation of negotiating interactions, completed in virtual 3D worlds a thing of the future?
