Regardless of whether you serve consumers as an omnichannel retailer, an e-commerce site or provide businesses with the supplies, parts and tools they need, you are probably feeling the impact of the tariffs and the uncertainty associated with them. Of course, no one knows what the long-term impact of the tariffs will be, but the response of business leaders to their constant fluctuation is both known and predictable.
Across industries, we’re seeing business leaders make a concerted effort to manage costs down, even as they put the brakes on large capital projects and expansion plans. And for many of these organizations, supply chains – including shipping departments – are ground zero in cost containment efforts.
Fortunately, there are steps shippers can take to address this reality head-on. And while shippers cannot control tariffs, they do have the ability to create their own tariff contingency plan, one that not only delivers significant savings, but also enables businesses to more effectively respond to tariff-related uncertainty.
To learn more, check out “Thursday’s Tip” from PARCEL or visit the magazine’s website to read “Shippers: Battle Chaos and Create Your Own Tariff Contingency Plan,” by Michael Falls, our chief customer officer here at Reveel. In it, Michael provides four steps you can use not only to keep costs in check as much as possible, but also to address today’s shipping environment with greater agility and confidence. In times of uncertainty and risk, that’s something every company benefits from.
