Front-line workers, such as drivers and warehouse personnel, continue to keep our supply chains up-and-running during the COVID-19 pandemic, risking their health to ensure communities have access to the goods they need. Now more than ever, it’s important to invest in the technology and processes needed to support their safety and productivity. According to Gartner, “Social distancing is a challenge for all essential workers, including truck drivers and employees at pickup and delivery locations, such as warehouses, stores or medical facilities. Supply chain and logistics leaders must make it a priority to facilitate these interactions through technology as much as possible in order to prevent infections with COVID-19.”
