New research finds brands with high visibility recover from supply chain disruptions nearly five times faster
Changing tariffs and trade regulations have contributed to an uncertain future for the global economy, and new research shows only 21% of brands feel extremely confident in their ability to handle supply chain disruption.
The 2025 State of Supply Chain Report, released by Anvyl, provides insight into how organizations are responding to ongoing supply shortages, transportation delays, and cost volatility. It found that, while some companies are investing in technology to improve resilience, 43% will continue to rely on manual processes and outdated systems. Common barriers brands are facing include poor data quality, inefficient reporting, and lack of integrations between core supply chain platforms.
Brands with high supply chain visibility were nearly five times more likely to recover from disruptions in under a week, compared to those with low visibility. While 66% of respondents identified real-time visibility as critical to disruption recovery, 59% said they still struggle to achieve it with their current systems.
“The past few months have made it clear that uncertainty isn’t going away and this data shows that many brands aren’t fully prepared,” said Rodney Manzo, CEO and Founder of Anvyl. “The report reinforces that when brands have the right tools and data in front of them, they’re taking control of problems instead of just reacting to them. We equip businesses with full visibility and the insights they need to make smarter, faster decisions.”
To mitigate risk this year, more than a third of brands are making enhanced supplier diversity and resilience their number one priority. Supplier diversification is no longer optional for brands wanting to remain competitive. Despite supplier concentration risk ranking only sixth in perceived threats, 78% of brands report that supplier location and logistics now heavily influence their supplier selection process.
Based on a survey of more than 200 consumer brands, the report also features expert analysis on current supply chain management trends from Anvyl's partners at Inventory Planner and Sage 100. Anvyl and Sage 100’s newest native integration offers a bi-directional sync for businesses and suppliers to manage and centralize purchase orders, communication, and inventory tracking — all in one system.
