This industry has become a backbone of many other sectors that see it as critical in realizing their goals. It is fast becoming a leading source of competitive advantage to many companies in the modern digital economy.  2020 will be another defining year for the supply chain industry and these are the predictions of what you should expect.

On February 6, Infor opened the doors to their Supply Chain Virtual Summit where Supply Chain experts spoke about current issues and trends in the industry. While completely online – the summit offered the same advantages of attending a live conference without ever having to leave your office.

The past decade was a defining time for the global logistics industry that saw the sector grow tremendously. It is the decade that saw the introduction of various aspects that made the industry improve while also introducing different challenges that were never seen before. Advancements in technology strengthened the capabilities and operations in logistics such as packaging, labeling, and shipping while also introducing challenges such as loss of job and security concerns. As we begin a new year, these are the trends that will shape the supply chain industry going forward.

New year – but the same problems are plaguing the supply chain industries world-wide. Supply chain companies are under increased pressure to decrease delivery time without raising the cost of shipping. To add to that - organizations are scrambling to come up with solutions that will not only grow their business but retain qualified employees.
