Aamro And Its Supply Chain Resilience

Are low-cost or high-cost shipments the only options?

When it comes to unpredicted supply chain events, do you pay a high price and go over your allocated ‘cost to service’ budget, or do you choose to pay less and run the risk of underperforming and jeopardizing your business? A hasty logistics planning, routing or handling decision, when you lack the required information, and are unaware of all options for the right call, frequently leads to selecting the less or more pricey solution. Without reliable information, choosing the middle ground can be a hit or miss situation. And, overspending while continuing to displease the customer, is not an ideal solution.

So how to manage an unpredictable supply chain?

Traditional static supply chain operations are now impacted by e-commerce growth, seasonal spikes, and global trade and supply chain disruptions, rendering them unpredictable and ineffective. In today’s digital world, advanced IT systems can consistently produce reliable, real-time data that gives skilled logisticians the ability to transform data into highly valuable statistics for preventative analytics; a must have for today’s logistics challenges.

IT based analytical tools underpin planning accuracy and expedite decision-making processes. This then protects product value with a faster time-to-market and lower inventory carrying cost. With the right combination of IT systems and skilled operators, a firm has a stronger, more resilient supply chain; one that delivers consistent results, pleases customers, and contributes to a respectable bottom line.
