Mastering logistics with global supply chain management

This is an underreported aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s still a very relevant one for many businesses – one of the greatest challenges this year has been in the area of supply chain management. How do you get the products you need, when you need them, without overstraining your business or its resources?

The sad truth is that for many companies today, there are gaps in this process. Products take too long to ship, or employees have to spend too much time and energy tracking them down, and so on. For many organizations, it’s so time-consuming for teams to handle their most basic supply chain responsibilities, there isn’t any time left in the day to focus on important strategic initiatives. This is especially true for large organizations that have to worry about fulfilling supply chain needs on a global scale.

Challenges in Inventory Management

The pain points in this process are numerous. Inventory management is perhaps the most basic one – the challenge is simply to have the products you need, when you need them. On top of that, there’s project management – when you’re trying to tackle special projects or deployments, you have very specific needs that need to be met in a timely fashion. Often, there are issues involving complex job requirements, where a work team needs greater flexibility to tackle a job while still focusing on their regular business. Add all of this up, and it’s clear why many organizations see a need to outsource IT supply management.
