Key challenges in transit and why accountability matters
Transporting goods safely from one point to another may seem straightforward but it is a complex process that comes with a variety of challenges.
- Physical risks: Goods can be damaged during loading, unloading or in transit. This may result from accidents, improper handling or environmental factors like temperature and humidity.
- Delivery challenges: Late deliveries or damage during the final stage of delivery can also impact the condition of the goods.
Damaged goods can mean more than just financial loss. They can impact customer trust, harm brand reputation and lead to increased returns and replacements.
This is why accountability is essential in the supply chain. When everyone involved in the shipping process, from warehouse staff to delivery drivers, is held responsible for the safe handling of goods, the chances of damage are significantly reduced.
Ensuring this level of accountability can be challenging without the right tools. Relying solely on manual checks is not enough. Businesses need proactive solutions that not only protect products but also provide visibility into how they are handled during transit.
This is where advanced protective packaging and monitoring technologies come into play.
