In fashion and luxury sectors, IT leaders will prioritize Supply Chain in 2026 according to a study by NetConsulting Cube for Italian vendor Deda Stealth. Among the hundred CIOs surveyed, 68.5% indicated their digital and IT projects in the next 12 months will concern Supply Chain, far ahead of retail (51.9%), sales (51.9%), production (48.1%), finance (46.3%), sustainability/traceability (37%), and integrated business planning (31.5%).
“Supply chain processes are considered strategic, particularly finished product logistics and warehouse management, but still generate moderate satisfaction levels,” analyzes Deda Stealth. The study highlights that while supplier collaboration is judged strategic, it achieves the lowest satisfaction score (4-5 out of 10). Companies are directing investments toward control towers, traceability tools, and real-time monitoring capabilities.
