Modernizing Canada’s Supply-Chain Network with Impactor App
Overview
Modernization and building a robust supply-chain network are key objectives within Canada’s transportation industry. This includes improving efficiency and accessibility to transportation data and information across the network through digitization.
Large-scale transformations like this require alignment and coordination across multiple stakeholders and delivery teams, all working towards shared objectives at every phase of the initiative. Impactor App plays a key role enabling inclusion and collaboration from ideation to enablement of the desired impact.
Creating space for everyone to contribute and know their perspective matters to creating team engagement and finding innovative solutions. The fact that Impactor enables this, makes it a valuable tool for project collaboration.

Challenge
Understanding key system issues and developing the right set of requirements are critical to success and enabling a solution that delivers impact for improving the supply-chain network. This requires capturing the knowledge and insights from each stakeholder and team member, which can be especially challenging when multiple teams need to coordinate together to deliver the final solution. Successful coordination here involves the need to:
- Facilitate inclusive discussions where each team member feels ownership and is empowered to contribute their perspectives towards the project’s success.
- Prioritize ideas and outcomes unbiasedly to build consensus.
- Align and clarify the project’s goals at every stage of the initiative.
- Adapt by using both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration methods to accommodate everyone’s busy and conflicting schedules.
- Achieve all of the above quickly and sustainably to meet demanding timelines.
The ability to prioritize and leverage Impactor App’s algorithm and user-friendly interface not only makes decision-making faster, but also creates shared ownership for everyone involved
