Today’s foodservice fleets not only have to respond to disruptions — they need to do it in real time.

Truck fleets in all industries, but especially in foodservice, are challenged today by an increasing number and variety of supply chain disruptions. Just coping with all that noise is tough enough. But end-customers aren’t sympathetic: They want fleets to maintain reliable and high-quality service, while adjusting to any disruptions in real time. How can fleets manage? On this episode, we get a perspective from Cyndi Brandt, vice president of fleet solutions with Descartes. We’ll learn why managing disruptions has become top of mind for fleets today, the types of technology they’re embracing in that effort, and how they’re measuring performance to ensure continued success. In the months and years ahead, expect that challenge to only get tougher. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.

This episode is sponsored by Descartes.
