The global pandemic has proved that end-to-end supply chain visibility, and the ability to both react to and predict potential logistics disruptions, is no longer an option. Blume Global gives a host of shippers a better view of their supply chain by digitizing manual logistics processes and connecting supply chain partners allowing for unfettered and streamlined communication.
While the year 2020 has prompted businesses to reevaluate their supply chain priorities, Blume Global CEO and Cisco SVP will discuss how customers who proactively invested in visibility and execution-focused robust digital operating platforms fared better, even during the turbulence of a pandemic. They will discuss how to apply this success across the industry, ensuring the continuous movement of global shipments, especially for essential items.
