Logistics Management Q&A

Resiliency has been a priority for executives who have come to realize the supply chain as a value driver for business success and customer loyalty. But driving a profitable, high-performance supply chain today is a vastly different and more complicated endeavor than it was generations ago. Working with global ecosystems of suppliers, partners, carriers, and customers across multiple sales channels in a volatile market has exposed businesses' many blind spots. The impacts of disruption can be quite significant without the tools in place to adapt fast to change, stay agile by collaborating and coordinating with partners across the network, and even spotting potential risks ahead of time.
