When COVID-19 arrived in the U.S. in March, people experienced first-hand the fallout of poorly designed supply chains. The stockpiling engaged in by both homes and shopping outlets made headlines, while shortages of critical items—like PPE and ventilators—accelerated the pandemic’s spread and heightened its risk. The crisis demanded that supply chains swiftly adapt to operating with a limited capacity in times of increased demand, while ensuring the safety of their frontline workers.

By David Paquin | Director of Industrial, Locus Robotics. 2020 has been the year of product changeovers in supply chain. Most manufacturers that had plans to digitize in the future were hard-hit with manual changes. Manually moving previous product to make room for new demand. Manually changing processes to accommodate new manufacturing. Manually stocking new product and fulfilling orders while social-distancing.

“What should we do about the tariffs?” There’s no straightforward answer — every leader has a different expectation. CFOs want numbers. COOs want action. CEOs want strategy. And supply chain and procurement leaders need to be ready with the right response — fast.

Logistics is an inseparable part of the supply chain. Without transportation, none of the industry can move their goods across continents; hence it’s a driving force for the world economy. As it involves enormous transactions across the industry, much of the information is shared between supply chain stakeholders through piles of papers each day. Would it not be better to have information in a better format that can be saved for a longer time which is worthier than the paper.
