RESETTING SUPPLY
CHAINS FOR THE
MULTIMODAL AGENDA
Modern supply chains are moving beyond single-mode logistics to integrated multimodal networks. This approach
improves efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in a volatile
global market. Companies are enhancing flexibility by diversifying logistics options, allowing quick responses to disruptions like congestion. Regional distribution hubs and proactive
contingency planning strengthen adaptability. Smart technology is enabling real-time visibility, helping monitor shipments, optimise routes, and improve inventory management
by reducing fragmentation and boosting efficiency. In this
in-depth feature, Akanksha Singh examines how multimodal
networks slash total logistics costs versus road-only transport, hurdles in shifting from truck-only to rail-sea-air combinations, while also focusing on the game-changing strategies
to build competitive supply chains.
