Abstract (EN): Digitalization has spread across business and supply chains, becoming irreversible and affecting how companies run their businesses and fulfill their demand. This paper discusses the main aspects that propel and hinder digitalization in supply chains are. One could divide the boosters into two groups: the application of technological advances and circular boosters. On the other hand, the barriers are either sporadic or persistent. Despite the perceived barriers, if correctly applied, digitalization brings more benefits than problems to supply chains. Furthermore, recognizing this might help practitioners who are still reluctant about digitalization.
