ChainLink Research- Fresh perspective on supply chain since 2003. We were first in collaboration work with Walmart back in the 90s, RFID, SC risk management, social networking and other emerging trends.

In retrospect it all looks obvious, but at the time you have to have a really good research model—and smart research to translate the noise into what will be real.So enough about us….
