The State of the UK Supply Chain

Recent challenges created by Brexit and COVID-19 show why investing in supply chain technology is critical to overcoming labor shortages and other challenges facing UK supply chains.

The industry has been working non-stop throughout the pandemic. Despite this happy problem, the labor shortages started by Brexit persist. With tightening immigration policies, large numbers of EU nationals returning home and COVID-19 causing delays in certifying replacements for roles such as HGV drivers, UK supply chains face a manpower crunch like never before.  

Supply chain technology is crucial to finding short- and long-term solutions for the lack of drivers and other roles such as warehouse staff, technicians, forklift drivers and transport managers.
