# How to use supply chain simulations to improve your network

Improving your logistics network is crucial for business growth and customer satisfaction. However, many supply chain leaders struggle to get data-driven evidence to inform network improvement and partner selection.

It’s hard to gauge how your supply chain stacks up when you’re unable to make accurate comparisons, between things like cost and performance differences between contracts is vital. Such knowledge would help evaluate the impact of changes across your supply chain network.

## Data-driven approach to partner selection
