Abstract: As new digital technologies emerge, companies must evaluate IT trends to identify opportunities, reduce risks and create competitive advantage. In today’s digital age, the competence to successfully exploit digital disruption could be the difference between thriving and barely surviving. To navigate new challenges and to determine the best opportunities, companies must understand the impact of supply chain technology trends on their business operations and outcomes. Therefore, we decided to review supply chain IT trends, based on Gartner’s predictions for the past six years, to determine, to what extent they have transformed, evolved, changed, or remained constant. As a result, we were able to determine the implementation of supply chain IT trends that are a must for managing a successful business. We also examined supply chain digital trends, that await us in the future. And lastly, we have focused on some open issues related to the pressing topic, the possibility of further research, and presented our subjective opinion on IT trends that may affect the business future.
