As partner networks expand and operational volatility increases, traditional middleware is buckling under costs and complexity. That’s why supply chain has emerged as a proving ground for automation‑led integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), a next-generation model designed to absorb constant change without rewriting the stack. This article takes a look at today’s supply chains, the limits of legacy integration, how automation changes the iPaaS model, possible downsides to an upgrade, and questions leaders should be asking about whether next-gen iPaaS makes sense for them. Why now? Supply chains have outgrown their integration models Supply chains have always been complex. What’s new is the pace of change. Networks now span hundreds of suppliers, logistics providers, and distributors, each running different systems and data standards. At the same time, expectations for real‑time visibility and rapid response continue to rise. The global supply chain visibility software market, which is the problem space that automation-led iPaaS aims to address, was estimated at about $3.3 billion …
