Engagement Overview:
With e-commerce trends such as ‘same day’ and ‘next day’ delivery becoming a new normal, businesses in the sector are increasingly expected to adjust their supply chain operations and keep up with the changing market trends. Our client, a medium-sized US e-commerce industry client, faced several predicaments in building an agile supply chain strategy to meet existing business requirements. As a result, the client was also losing ground to competitors in the market that were actively implementing new operating models supporting same-day delivery.
Other key objectives of the engagement were:
- Objective 1: Assess the supply chain complexities
- Objective 2: Implement vendor compliance programs
- Objective 3: Make the inbound supply chain more efficient
During the COVID-19 crisis, companies in the e-commerce industry must take calculative and well-executed measures to ensure business continuity in the long run.
