With warehouse labor increasingly harder to find, and the cost of that labor increasing, interest in packaging automation is also on the rise.

2021 was a difficult year in global logistics due to ongoing volatility. We worked alongside customers navigating the Suez Canal block, hurricanes and cyclones, port and terminal closures due to COVID-19 outbreaks, customs and trade changes, labor shortages and more. I’ve been in the industry since 1997 and I have never seen this level of continual disruption across the entire supply chain for this length of time.

Capacity shortages among parcel carrier companies have escalated concerns among eCommerce and omnichannel retailers. These businesses rely heavily on FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, and various regional carriers to deliver goods. When freight capacity for parcels falls short, associated delays negatively impact the buying experience for online shoppers. That’s why a parcel shipping strategy that relies predominantly on one preferred provider could be risky.

A long, long time ago – in the days when computer programs were coded as holes in punch cards – I was in ROTC* in college.

To get a maximum score of 100 points, the participant had to complete the 2 mile run in 14 minutes and 9 seconds.
