Fortunately, as technology has continuously advanced at unprecedented speeds, there are now numerous ways to address the challenges of poor supply chain visibility.

For instance, modern tools and software platforms are being utilized to collect and analyze large amounts of data.

Whether it’s uncovering ways to optimize routing, understand persistent latency issues or reduce dwell time, there are countless benefits a company could derive from this data analysis and implementation. What’s more, it also has the potential to boost elements of container management, such as enhancing the automation processes for creation and deployment.

If the recent disruption taught us anything, it’s that crystal clear visibility throughout the supply network is absolutely essential. Going forward, activity must be tracked at all times and the real-time visibility it creates be put to use through cutting-edge applications if another crisis is to be avoided.
