In 2024, brands and retailers will face several challenges such as supply chain disruptions and new regulations. These challenges will arise due to political instability in Asia, attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea, and new legislation on due diligence directives (CSDDD). To succeed in such an environment, businesses must be well-prepared with actionable insights.
QIMA, a global provider of testing, inspection, certification, and compliance solutions, and Freightos.com, an online freight marketplace, will share exclusive survey findings from 800+ supply chain professionals regarding worldwide sourcing and shipping trends in 2024.
During the webinar, Michael Bland, Senior Director at QIMA and Judah Levine, Head of Research at Freightos will discuss the current state of global trade, the challenges businesses are facing, and how to ensure product quality and compliance in this context.
Join the conversation and learn how to prevent potential problems in your supply chain, from sourcing to delivery and everything in between.
