Ready your supply chain to deal with weather changes.
• Choose a logistics company that will handle all your supply chain matters come rain or shine. Storing and transporting temperature sensitive stock comes to mind, something Beyond Logistics Ltd (BLL) excels at regardless of the prevailing weather.
• Plan, strategize and determine if your current supply chain strategy is weather proof. Will you stay in business if weather conditions cause a break in the supply chain?
• Order ahead of schedule to give your logistics planner good lead times and create room for other options…just in case. Less stress, less costs, better results.
• Monitor weather conditions, check online weather reports and plan your routes accordingly. Generally, the prevailing season should determine what to expect but we’ve all witnessed a storm at the height of the hot season. Be prepared.
• Stay in touch with your logistics company. At all times. At BLL, we maintain clear communication channels with our clients at all levels of the supply chain.
• Consider the company’s ability to reach your desired point of delivery regardless of the weather. Hard-to-reach-area or not, good or terrible roads, your logistics company should deliver as planned.
• Explore different delivery options to cater for extreme weather conditions. A good logistics company should give you different options depending on your load and the prevailing weather.
• With advance planning and a good logistics company, you can rest assured that your stock will be safe from any weather changes that would otherwise disrupt normal business.
