Supply Chain Technology Keys for Navigating The Great Lockdown

The COVID-19 pandemic underscores how utterly dependent society is on technology, and the logistics industry is no different. By and large, shippers, carriers, and 3PLs are getting by even in the most adverse conditions. But crises such as this shine a brighter light on system and process inadequacies, so this may be a time that accelerates a shift toward cloud, automation, and online transactional tools. It’s always instructive to look to the past to inform how the industry may handle this future, and this JOC webcast will incorporate technology leaders who have managed the dot.com boom and bust, the 2008 economic downturn, and a newer entrepreneur looking to succeed in a post-COVID environment.

This webcast will give attendees actionable insight into how they should prioritize logistics technology advancement prior, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
