UPS working continuously to up its game - The Edge Markets
GIVEN that the global supply chain crisis is not expected to end anytime soon, integrated logistics provider UPS is continuously working to ensure that its customers do not face any backlog in shipments.
The crisis is caused by a surge in demand following the decline in Covid-19 cases, coupled with a supply shortage due to factory closures, a lack of key components and raw materials, as well as congestion in ports. This has resulted in delays in deliveries and empty supermarket shelves. With the peak holiday season already upon us, the backlog could worsen.
“We understand that the current situation with global supply chains is a concern for our customers and, as we expect the current supply and demand imbalance will continue into 2022, we’ll continue to collaborate with our largest customers, SMEs and end customers to manage network capacity for successful deliveries,” Matthew Parkey, UPS’s South Asia Pacific president, tells The Edge in an email interview.
