Here’s how to build a culture of equality.

A strong collaboration between 3PLs and shippers can help to bring innovative solutions that will benefit both in the future. To do so, shippers must express their needs and challenges, and 3PLs must listen and find paths to address and adapt—and both must recognize the value of these partnerships.

We’re in a perfect storm with the global supply chain—and 2022 is shaping up to be even more challenging.

In a post-pandemic world, supply chains must be embedded with transparency, resilience and sustainability— or brands risk their own longevity.

Shippers might as well forget about planning for a peak season, industry analysts contend. Due to ongoing pressures from e-commerce and post-pandemic demand, ocean carriers are operating at crisis-driven velocity for the foreseeable future.

There’s renewed optimism for global trade with the pandemic waning and borders beginning to open. Because of this upbeat projection, companies are continuing to invest in emerging markets—and those regions are getting ready for increasing volumes.

With the right actions, supply chain leaders can turn supply chain disruption into meaningful change and build long-term resilience to outmaneuver uncertainty and achieve growth. Those that do will achieve competitive advantage now and in the future.
