SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thanks to digital disruption and continued globalization customer service expectations are going through the roof and stretching retail and e-commerce companies further than ever before, putting supply chains under unprecedented amounts of stress. However, Visible Supply Chain Management (Visible), one of the fastest-growing companies in Utah and fastest-growing supply-chain providers in the U.S. and world, is demonstrating that business performance maps directly to supply chain success.
Today’s supply chains are the backbone of an information ecosystem in which a connected and carefully coordinated set of movements and actions must be tracked at every level in order to maximize efficiency and meet customer demands. Today’s consumers are connected around the clock and can fire off an order anytime, from anywhere, and then expect the order to be quickly delivered to wherever they are, for free. This requires a supply chain that operates around the clock. In the final days of the holiday season, especially, thousands of vendor/consumer relationships are strengthened or ruined as providers succeed or fail to deliver shipments with accuracy and on time.
“We are operating in a world where consumers expect all vendors to rise to the standard of Amazon Prime,” said Visible CEO Casey Adams. “They want shipping to be free and delivery to be practically instant.”
In response to this challenge, in 2018 Visible’s small parcel division shipped more than 136.3 million packages and provides almost 1,000 jobs.
Supply-chain strength is also vital to company growth. Seventy-nine percent of companies with high performing supply chains achieve better than average growth, according to research. But only eight percent with inferior supply chains exceed average growth. Yet supply chain functions often receive less strategic attention than other areas, resulting in a surprising level of business demise.
As a one-stop shop for clients ranging from billion-dollar enterprises to small business, Visible is driving the supply chain function to new levels of efficiency and service, allowing companies to grow faster and become more profitable with best-in-class shipping costs. Through acquisition of Pro Star Logistics and IntegraCore in 2017, the company has grown rapidly and amassed steadily increasing purchasing power and has been acknowledged as one of Utah Business’ top 3 fastest-growing companies in 2017 and 2018.
A New Standard of Excellence
Regardless of your score in the current holiday season, Visible suggests supply chain quality be first on the list of every company’s resolutions for 2019.
