Can a strategic supply chain partnership give you more control and less stress?

In testing times, there’s a need for retail and lifestyle businesses to build resilience, and logistics must be part of the solution.

For European businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences are just one strand of a complex web of challenges. Geo-political movements, new tariffs and regulations, capacity constraints, and fluctuating demand all add to an unpredictable trading landscape.

Dedicated logistics and procurement professionals worked hard to get their businesses through the supply chain disruptions of 2020 and 2021, but in this new paradigm, it’s the right time to re-evaluate operations.
