# Reinforced Supply Chain

New technology for logistics, freight, and beyond aim to improve the broken global supply chain.

The global supply chain was brittle heading into COVID-19 and completely fell apart as the global pandemic froze factories, ports, and global transportation. Retailers and brands have responded by investing in technology to improve traceability, efficiency, and resiliency of their supply chains.

**Why Now?**

A combination of factors including COVID-19, the boom in e-commerce, US-China trade tensions, consumer interest in sustainable sourcing are driving the need for supply chain technology.

**Who Cares?**

- Gen Zs and Millennials who expect delivery to be as seamless as online purchases
- Inventory planners who must plan around the quickly changing tastes of these consumers
- Legacy trucking, air, and maritime freight providers
- Any retailer hoping not to be left with too much (or too little) product on their shelves

**What Areas Excite Us Today?**

- Automating the booking of trucking loads
- Platforms to increase the visibility across the supply chain
- Robotic fulfillment technology that reduces the reliance on warehouse labor
