February 2023

White Paper

Summary

What’s new in supply chain strategy since the pandemic? Everything.

A new kind of world requires a new kind of supply chain, where a view of the whole, and not just the parts, is a competitive advantage. A supply chain where resilience, collaboration, flexibility and new visibility tools, paired with good old-fashioned expertise, separates companies that thrive from those that struggle.

UPS Supply Chain Solutions provides answers for how to deal with the emerging challenges in supply chains with a next-generation integrated supply network featuring end-to-end real-time visibility and collaboration. Evolve from yesterday’s legacy supply chain to a transformational supply network with a connected digital ecosystem.
