This new paradigm has caused a change in the format of demand, leading organizations to readjust their production, transport and storage in a matter of hours. It is important to have automated tools that support business management in the face of disruptive change such as the current one.
According to a report by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 90 percent of China’s 23 largest automobile groups have already resumed work as of March 11, thanks to the country’s comprehensive supply chain. This shows that the crisis we are going through also represents an opportunity for better coordination between the supply chains of producers, distributors and logistics operators to achieve maximum efficiency and ensure service.
