GigaCloud Logistics Last-Mile Delivery Impact During COVID-19 Pandemic

With the rise of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the furniture supply chain in the United States has been significantly impacted, requiring fast response tactics from businesses in order to keep abreast of drastic shifts sending shockwaves throughout the industry...

A critical component of the furniture supply chain that experienced heavy impact in the initial stages of the global pandemic was warehouse pick-up management. As a result of government mandated social distancing and other safety policies, overall worker efficiency reached an all-time low in warehouses across the nation, resulting in less personnel to distribute orders and fewer active loading docks, subsequently leading to wait times spanning for as long as 5 hours. In addition to changes in furniture distribution procedures, businesses found themselves lacking in resources to successfully adhere to high hygienic standards to ensure the safety of their employees and end customers.
