In the first half of the year, panic buying drove supply and demand imbalance across the supply chain and caused truckload capacity to tighten. During the second half of the year, consumers shifted their spending from in-store to buying online, and sellers had to adjust their warehousing and fulfillment networks.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only confirmed what we already knew: modern supply chains must be built on a foundation of extreme agility and responsiveness. The sudden onset of COVID-19 in 2020 only reinforced a lesson that supply chain professionals had already realized: uncertainty is the only real certainty.

As it involves enormous transactions across the industry, much of the information is shared between supply chain stakeholders through piles of papers each day. Would it not be better to have information in a better format that can be saved for a longer time which is worthier than the paper.
