The technologies of transportation and communication have expanded the world, facilitating not only travel and communication but also cross-border business. However, global crises like the current COVID-19 pandemic are drawing stark attention to the consequences of this connected world we live in. Recently, a crisis in one country can potentially cause conflicts in distant regions or markets. It seems that the challenges of truly global commerce and the importance of frictionless, freely flowing supply chains are beginning to be rightly recognized. The supply chain is now being pushed to its limits, but thanks to the remarkable technological advancements recently introduced in the supply chain space, both resilience and agility are now being enhanced.

In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, distribution centers (DCs) across the country are bustling with activity. While many of us are sheltering indoors, warehouse employees are fulfilling a massive volume of orders for essential and non-essential items. Day by day, warehouse workers are putting themselves at risk to keep the supply chain moving and ensure that consumers at home can obtain the items they need. What measures are employers taking to protect their employees? What steps are being taken to encourage distribution center employees to come to work? Additionally, how will these temporary measures impact the future of labor management in warehouses?

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought much of the world to a standstill. However, we must continue to move inventory to bring stability to customers and the economy. We are proud to partner with various industries that play a leading role in providing lifesaving supplies and essential goods to the public. In recent weeks, we have had the opportunity to hear from many professionals within our customer base. Each of them continues to do an incredible job of ensuring that the items truly needed are delivered to the community, despite the unstable fluctuations occurring between supply and demand.
