To keep up with regulations around products -- on sourcing, greenhouse gas emissions, safety -- and to answer questions from consumers, companies need a lot more visibility on their supply chains. This week, Switched On speaks with Kirti Vasta, Digital Industry Analyst for BloombergNEF. She will tell us about new developments in track and trace, and how implementing advanced technologies and systems to more deeply understand their supply chain can make a company's operations safer, more efficient and competitive.

This episode is based on a report titled Track and Trace: Digitalizing Supply Chains. BNEF clients can access this report on bnef.com or BNEF Mobile, or at BNEF<GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal.

Switched On is hosted this week by Mark Taylor and Dana Perkins.
