In this segment, William Doyle explains how enhanced supply‑chain data and visibility transform the way Costain manages change with its suppliers. The improved data makes change agreements more transparent and honest, strengthening supplier relationships. It also reduces the time the commercial team spends on data entry and, crucially, provides leading indicators that highlight emerging opportunities and risks. By surfacing these early signals, Costain can shift its focus from reacting to problems (cure) to preventing them, enabling more proactive decision‑making across the organisation.
