What the experts are saying
“The past three years have been unlike anything we’ve seen… with imports to the U.S. skyrocketing 39% from 2020 to 2022. Now things are cooling off, giving international shippers a chance to catch their breath, regroup, and chart a course for 2023 and beyond. With the lessons of the pandemic fresh on their mind, many supply chain leaders are leaning into technology to ensure past mistakes aren’t repeated.”
