Internet$-$enabled SCM improves information sharing throughout the supply chain, which helps reduce costs for information transmission and improves customer service. SCM activities can be identified based on what kind of company performs the tasks, who benefits directly, and what kinds of responsibilities are managed in the process. Activities throughout the supply chain benefit from increased visibility made possible through sharing data between suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, transportation companies, retailers, and customers.
