UPS Meets Logistical Challenges Amidst Pandemic, Discusses Future of Supply Chain and E-Commerce - Dallas Innovates
More than one year into the global pandemic, supply chains have achieved in a matter of months what would have taken years to accomplish. For United Parcel Service (UPS), one of the world’s largest logistics companies, that included re-engineering their processes to deliver more than 27 million pounds of personal protective equipment (PPE) and more than 150 million COVID-19 test kits and biological samples globally.
The company is on track to deliver 3 billion vaccines by year’s end despite many issues supply chains are facing—from port congestion to commodity shortages and even, severe weather. At the same time, companies are preparing for rapid growth as economies reopen.
These were some of the insights shared by UPS at a recent meeting of the Dallas Regional Chamber’s International Task Force. The company discussed their COVID-19 response, learnings in supply chain management, and trends in the e-commerce industry.
