The move to source closer to home – especially to Mexico – represents as profound a shift in supply chain architecture since the mass movement to China thirty years ago.  According to a recent survey from Gartner-owned consultant Capterra, 88% of U.S.-based small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) will reshuffle their supply chains to utilize suppliers in the U.S. or Mexico in 2023.
For logistics providers, such supply chain upheaval spells opportunity to add strategic value to its customers making the shift, but only if the process, the benefits, and the challenges are well-understood.

Join this informative and interactive webinar to learn how to reduce customers’ supply chain risk and cost through nearshoring and what business development opportunities result for their 3PL service providers.
