Supply chain processes encompass the planning, sourcing, production, and distribution of goods – from order placement through delivery and potential returns. Each step (procurement, warehousing, transport, receipt) follows defined workflows that are documented and monitored. For freight forwarders and customs brokers, the handoff points between actors (manufacturers, logistics providers, recipients) are especially critical, as delays or errors commonly occur there. Process optimization reduces costs and cycle time.
