While theft of material goods continues to be a top security concern for shippers and service providers alike, the changing business environment means that companies must focus more attention on other causes of supply chain disruption - from the theft of intellectual capital and natural disasters, to the closure of ports and product tampering. Additionally, a focus on sustainability, security and safety means that strong relationships across the different parties in the supply chain are key to achieving integration in systems and services to prevent disruption. Through deliberate efforts with logistics partners, organisations can achieve significant customer service and business efficiency improvements while delivering on safety and security.
