Managing the Supply Chain During COVID-19

As we all know Coronavirus has altered many businesses in the year 2020. Our accounts will require Logistics service teams to provide increased agility, financial stability, and lots of transparency.

Rick Blasgen, president of CSCMP, agrees. “To say that everything changed is an understatement. Many in our industry have led efforts in adapting, innovating, and managing through unprecedented disruption while simultaneously creating new operating models.” The three keys to being prepared for the future, he says, are being able to adapt, improvise and overcome.

The pandemic has tested 3PL service providers with sudden stops and surges, depending on who they are servicing. The report remarks that several 3PLs were able to redeploy some of their people and assets from the halted and slowed industries to the ones that experienced surges. “Most shippers we spoke with reported that their 3PLs had a ‘we’re in this together’ attitude rather than invoking force majeure clauses,” the researchers reveal.

Adaptation is one of the key ways to be able to survive in logistics during the pandemic and those who have taken over that mindset are going to see continued success.
