It’s well known that the last few years have drastically and permanently changed the way the supply chain operates. Businesses of all sizes have had to step up and keep pace or experience an extreme drop in fulfillment. 

Even before Covid-19, the growth of eCommerce was already outpacing supply chain and material handling capabilities. What is known as the “Amazon Effect” took consumer demands to new heights, intensifying the urgency to keep up with Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) demands. The pandemic only added fuel to the fire, accelerating trends and condensing 10-year projections into the span of 18 months.

While these changes had a major impact on the entire supply chain, the biggest impacts of e-commerce took hold in the B2B world - which while unseen to many, is in fact 5 times larger than B2C operations. Here, facilities are facing a variety of new challenges that disrupt upstream distribution – the driving force behind successful e-commerce in today’s shifting markets.
