This past weekend, I had what I would call an 80’s throwback weekend. On Friday, I went to see a Guns n’ Roses “cover band” in Cambridge. Now this band is made up of musicians that my wife went to college with, so there was a strong college contingent. They also all have real jobs, and use this as an outlet for their musical skill and desire to have a good time.

When two businesses partner together, this brings about a variety of benefits (and risks, of course). Merging with a 3PL, specifically, can help a company with scaling, expanding geographic reach and footprint, and help with growth in certain industries. The time is right for merging with a 3PL, as the economy improves and interest rates remain low.

Procurement and supply chain leaders have faced their share of disruption and economic turmoil these past four years.

The ice cream supply chain is hot! Ice cream companies have to ensure products maintain their quality as they travel from the manufacturing plant to the distribution center to the retailer, and finally into the consumer’s shopping cart and home. The risk of an unwanted temperature change tends to be highest when the ice cream is moving from one location—say, a manufacturing plant—to another, such as a delivery truck.
