Digital transformation has driven structural changes in supply chain management, promoting automation, connectivity, and real-time data integration. Among the tools that support this process, Oracle SCM Cloud stands out as a cloud-based solution offering visibility, collaboration, and strategic decision-making capabilities across the logistics network. This paper presents a critical analysis of the impact of Oracle SCM Cloud on modern supply chains, focusing on its applicability, results achieved in various sectors, and the challenges of its implementation. The research is based on a bibliographic review of studies and technical reports up to 2021, contextualizing digital transformation through concepts such as Industry 4.0, emerging technologies, and the reconfiguration of operational flows. The findings indicate gains in efficiency, cost reduction, improved traceability, and enhanced risk management. It is concluded that Oracle SCM Cloud represents a cornerstone of digital innovation in contemporary logistics, contributing to more resilient and intelligent supply chains.
