It is now more important than ever to have a Borderless North American distribution strategy. Geopolitical events such as the US-China trade war, USMCA implementation, and of course the pandemic have yielded unprecedented nearshoring of manufacturing and distribution operations in North America.
Cross border mergers and acquisitions, shifts in demand and sourcing partners, or distribution consolidation may justify repositioning
distribution centers, repurposing manufacturing or packaging facilities for distribution, relocating product and safety stock, utilizing 3PLs, or leveraging pop-up warehouses.
