The supply chain has become a topic of discussion in corporate and political circles all across the world as a result of dangerous disruptions. Major economic powers have been devising strategies to prepare for the impending crisis.

Because of the insecurity that Covid has imposed on trade and transportation, the supply chain has been hampered in the delivery of goods. Many sectors of employment need to deal with disruption mitigation strategies.

Having the correct technologies in place to manage your supply chain is a valuable asset. Having demand projections and knowing which ports are on the verge of closure enhances your decision-making infinitely.

Global crisis demands a new technology 

China’s zero-tolerance coronavirus policy blocks ports and hampers domestic trade. Companies all across the world rely on domestically produced materials and goods, and the trend indicates that Eastern dominance will only grow. Thus, developments in China foreshadow what is to come in the Western world.

When comparing European firms that rely on China with those that import from other countries, the loss in productivity (during specific periods) is clear. Not just imports, but also exports and domestic sales, are in the same situation. China’s productive potential, on the other hand, should never be overestimated.

Falling productivity in China translates into vacant markets and retailers around the world. For enterprises that rely on air and sea transport, the number of corporate imports has decreased since the outbreak began.

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel: numerous tactics have yielded beneficial results. Ensuring visibility and having access to solid projections is, in fact, the most commonly adopted strategy by successful businesses.
