The year 2020 has been a turning point for supply chains. The market forces have not shifted so dramatically in the past so quickly. Customers and enterprises had a challenging year to deal with the rapidly changing conditions of the markets. 

In 2020, online purchases increased by approximately 30%. It is a mass amount compared to the growth rate of about 12 to 16% each year. Companies need to understand how to manage risk, be resilient, and respond to sharp and sudden changes in the supply chain landscape.

Monitoring cargo conditions

Shipping managers are able to track their cargo by estimating delivery times or dates and the last location. Many organizations that produce fragile or perishable items need to ensure that their products are in good condition without damage due to extreme temperature fluctuations. 

With the supplychain management software, you can monitor the cargo condition. The supply chain managers can get notifications about shipments and cargo conditions and whether they are moving with third-party transportation carriers or their private fleet. These notifications allow you to take appropriate measures when your cargo gets damaged or dropped in the wrong location.

Great expectations

The time gap between the order and delivery to customers has now become faster than before as they can now track the shipment progress. However, the conditions and the contents are not known until the package is under inspection on arrival. 

The negative impacts of the product value and downstream process are huge for B2B shipment. It occurs when there is a fragile component or parts that must deliver within the deadlines. As commercial shipments move from the supply chain, damage, loss, delay, or even fake content can occur. It increases the costs, and the customers must bear the loss.

Logistics

Logistics and manufactures service providers know what happens behind the scenes to have a perfect delivery and make their customers happy. It goes with a flow once a customer places an order, and the product flows through each step of the shipment process.

The logistics use sensors for monitoring the condition and location of the shipments. They also ensure that the delicate products do not get damaged or spoiled while transporting or taking them to the warehouse. The supply chain managers point out the cargo location to ensure that the product reaches on time safely without getting damaged.
