2020

A new decade has arrived. The supply chain and logistics industry started out with a fresh new feeling of optimism for things to come. With increased shipping rates and uncertainties of trade agreements of the past few years dwindling, 2020 was going to bring a nice balance to grow the network. Then along came a pandemic.

Now more than ever, in this dynamic environment, e-commerce and omnichannel strategies are a must have for any logistics business looking for expansion, let alone survival. According to 3PL Central, just under 90% of American shoppers were already spending 11 hours a day with electronic media, and in 2018 alone, e-commerce grew over 14%, ranking the US third largest in the e-commerce marketplace. That data may not look a lot different in the next year, but a few percent can provide a lot more pressure to perform in the coming months.

Having a strategy to corner this market is crucial for growth. Is your 3PL partner ready to perform?
