In the past, tracking a shipping container across continents or monitoring the temperature of a pharmaceutical package in a rural warehouse came with trade-offs: cost, power drain, or unreliable coverage.

Supply Chain nuts & bolts Last week I looked at some basic definitions of a Supply Chain and what Supply Chains are designed to achieve. After enjoying the wet UK Bank Holiday, one of my first meetings was with an established FMCG CEO. No names of course, but this is a medium sized player with a broad European base.

Updated: June 3, 2025 Published: February 23, 2022 Parcel volumes have skyrocketed in recent years. Unfortunately, so have prices. In recent years, global carriers have lost some of their volumes to regional carriers. If you serve customers across a limited geographic area, this may be a more cost effective shipping strategy. However, if your customers are dispersed around the world, the best way to control global logistics and international parcel shipments is to leverage multiple carriers.

By staying agile and informed, they can minimize financial exposure and maintain long-term supply chain resilience despite an unpredictable global trade picture.

Many companies follow Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality HSEQ practices to keep everything running smoothly.
