Winter weather can wreak havoc on supply chains, causing delays, disruptions, and increased costs. As a 3PL provider, it’s crucial to have a proactive approach to winter weather preparedness. Here’s how Selery Fulfillment braces for the challenges of winter and ensures seamless operations for our clients:

Understanding the Impact of Winter Weather on Logistics

Winter weather can significantly impact logistics operations in several ways:

• Transportation Delays: Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can lead to road closures, delayed flights, and reduced visibility, causing significant delays in transportation.
• Increased Costs: Extreme weather conditions can lead to increased fuel costs, overtime pay for employees, and additional expenses for de-icing and snow removal.
• Supply Chain Disruptions: Severe weather events can disrupt supply chains, leading to stockouts, increased lead times, and customer dissatisfaction.
• Damage to Inventory: Freezing temperatures can damage certain products, especially perishable goods and electronics.
