Horizontal digitization integrates and optimises the flow of information and goods from the
customer through their own company to the supplier and back.
This process involves the integration and proactive controlling of all company internal
departments (e.g., purchasing, manufacturing, logistics and planning).
It also includes all the external value chain partners that are needed to satisfy customer
requirements and fulfil requested services.
