For numerous organizations worldwide, the past year has been an adventure. The world is changing rapidly, and we’ve all been forced to quickly scramble and adapt to new work environments and new ways of doing business. The COVID-19 pandemic was a challenge when it first began, and it remains a challenge now – and in large part, the challenge is one of workplace modernization.
With so many employees right now working remotely, how do you supply them with the devices they need to be successful? In the old days, you would simply put new computers in your office environment, and employees would come to the office and use them. But those were the old days. Today, what you need is a way to equip everyone, all over the world, no matter where they work.
In other words, you need a robust supply chain.
According to Supply and Demand Chain Executive Magazine, businesses today have become extremely supply chain dependent. Stephen Day, chief procurement officer at Kantar Group, posited that the COVID-19 pandemic has shined a spotlight on the ways that local, regional and global economies can be disrupted by breakdowns in the supply chain, and it’s become clear that having sound practices for product procurement and product delivery will be absolutely crucial in the years to come.
“Strategic procurement policies and processes do more than just ensure business continuity by managing risks and maintaining compliance,” Day argued. “They can also support sustainability measures, contribute to innovation and long-term growth, and rise to the occasion with regard to pressing social issues.”
For any business that fully grasps this concept, there’s a tremendous opportunity ahead. If you can streamline your supply chain and get everyone the IT they need quickly and efficiently, you’re surely going to position your business for success.
Having said that, building out a robust supply chain is a challenge, and not every business is equipped to do it on their own. For that, Zones is available to help. We have a Global Supply Chain as a Service (GSCaaS) offering that helps businesses everywhere to get employees the IT they need efficiently, thus reducing costs and freeing up capital for other endeavors.
