In this insightful conversation, Rob Walpole, CEO of Custom Goods, and Mike Jacob, President of PMSA, delve into the complex consequences of recent changes in tariffs, and expected shifts in global supply chains. They discuss how shifting trade policies might create both challenges and opportunities for businesses, particularly for those relying on international shipping and logistics. As tariffs and trade routes are redefined, the supply chain must adapt its strategies agilely to keep pace with the rapidly evolving environment. For companies that depend on cross-border trade, these changes require reevaluating established practices, adjusting costs, and seeking new ways to streamline operations.
The conversation shifts to the role that third-party logistics (3PL) companies play in helping businesses navigate these turbulent times. With today’s fast-paced and unpredictable changes in global trade, 3PLs are increasingly called upon to provide customized, flexible solutions to meet specific client needs. From identifying new routes and optimizing transportation costs to leveraging advanced technologies like real-time tracking and AI-driven analytics, 3PLs are offering critical support to businesses looking to maintain competitive advantages. By working closely with customers, 3PLs help them manage the risks associated with trade disruptions while maximizing efficiency. Their ability to adapt quickly and implement scalable solutions in response to shifting demands, changing tariffs, and supply chain challenges is more essential than ever in maintaining business continuity and growth in a volatile marketplace.
