As a fruit distributor across the East Coast, David Arlington from Portland was a busy manager.

He was finding it challenging to keep a tab on the different trucks plying across the 2369 miles of US Route 1.

He also didn’t have a way to know when the consignment reached the market and when the trucker had started the return route back.

All these prompted him to go for a logistics management software in order to get better control on the fleet and the cargo it was delivering.

The comprehensive real-time reporting allowed him to optimize route better and set precise expectations.

This, in turn, boosted business on the back of an elevated user experience.Obstacles in Running a Logistics ChainIf you operate the supply chain for a logistics company or own it, large-scale fleet management and keeping track of workers, vehicles, and the consignments bring a few operational challenges:a sudden increase in demand from the customer’s endunorganized collaboration between drivers and the supplierslack of decent inventory managementunruly and unmanageable drivers with unprofessional instinctsThese are just a few of the many obstacles faced by stakeholders in the supply chain, time and again.It has been observed that meeting the customer’s demand still remains to be one of the topmost challenges faced by supply chain managers.

To cope with this pandemic, global suppliers and distributors had to rethink their supply chain strategies.Companies have been frantically seeking modified versions of supply chain strategies to cope with this pandemic.

Global suppliers and distributors located in the US, China, and the entire continent of Europe are enforcing technological methods for sourcing, delivery, shipment, and restocking their stores.Various changes in the supply chain strategy instilled distinct and alarming distress amongst suppliers.

The question that suppliers feared the most was, “will there be a recovery of inventories soon”?Companies started to focus on introducing augmented strategies to tackle the current situation.

Before discussing the implementation of augmented strategies, let’s see how COVID-19 disrupted the demand-supply shock in the supply chain market.Demand Surge Followed by Supply ShockThe first wave of demand surge occurred in regions of China’s domestic market.
