Meet Sylvie, our digital supply chain consultant
As a digital supply chain consultant, I help companies translate complex supply chain processes into structured and efficient workflows. I strongly believe in co-creation and collaborate with various departments to develop solutions that are not only technically sound but also practically usable for the people who will work with them.
Technology is just a tool. The real challenge lies in how people work with it. A process or tool is only successful if end users can use it smoothly and with confidence. That human aspect makes my job exciting. I want to ensure that technology is an enabler, not an obstacle. Guiding employees and companies through digital transformation is one of my biggest drivers.
In addition, I am fascinated by the ever-changing world of supply chain management. Geopolitical shifts, sustainability requirements, fluctuating markets—all of these impact businesses. Agility and the ability to adapt to external and internal changes are crucial. As a consultant at Upchained, I am constantly anticipating and responding to these changes. Every project, every client is different, and that keeps me sharp.
What makes Upchained a unique place to work?
We are small and engaged, and we do not support our clients from a distance—we stand right beside them. We go into the warehouses, sit with end users behind the computer, and ensure that implementations align with real-world practice. This pragmatic and human approach is what sets us apart.
Drivers (This is us)
-
The human side, technology is only successful if people enjoy and efficiently use it.
-
I love translating complex issues into clear and workable processes.
-
I thrive in a dynamic environment where technology and business constantly evolve.
-
I enjoy building solutions together with clients and teams to make a real impact.
Turn-offs (this isn't us)
-
Purely strategic work without implementation. I want to see and experience the results of my work, not just put plans on paper.
-
Data analysis is essential, but it must always be linked to real-world insights.
- An ivory tower mentality. Only thinking theoretically without engaging with the workplace
- Rigid structures that hinder innovation and digitalization
