Finding The Single-Source Supplier For The E-Commerce Supply Chain
Today’s supply chains are driven by the competitive tenets of e-commerce – speed, accuracy and access to a broad inventory – all delivered at low cost. This mandate has driven distribution centers to become increasingly complex and dependent on automation systems, while raising the stakes to threaten critical damage in the event of cost overruns or project delays. Concentrating supplier responsibility for these automation projects with a single, lead provider simplifies vendor management and accountability, enabling companies to approach a single point of contact and avoid juggling delays and charges from multiple contractors.

whitePaper | May 13, 2022

Not only are we in state of constant disruption, but disruptions are here to stay. The cause of disruption may change; yesterday it may have been global health, today it may be political unrest, while tomorrow it may be trade related. Issues like inflation, material shortages, high performance pressures from customers, and capacity constraints will never be challenges businesses can overcome on their own – at least not complex or global businesses.
