This pandemic is a good wakeup call not only for the logistics industry but for all businesses. Logistics and supply chain industry is used to of managing and dealing problems related to driver shortages, bad weather, etc with a proper backup plan. But no one was prepared for this pandemic and it is an unfavorable outcome. Once through this, we have certainly learned our lesson which is never hesitate to embrace and invest in technology as we can see techno savvy companies turned out to be winners in the pandemic. We have also learned to not put all your eggs in one basket. Logistics companies who specialised in specific industry faced the maximum heat during the pandemic.
