Food industry materials handling challenges

We know that food manufacturers, suppliers and essential food retailers have been responding rapidly and acting around the clock to meet changing customer needs in response to new consumer behaviour amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

For many food businesses, finding qualified people is becoming increasingly difficult – in fact our recent survey suggests 39% of food distributors describe finding skilled people as their biggest challenge. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, filling open positions was difficult and now as supply chains are pressed to move even more products, faster, retaining highly skilled people has become the top priority.

Other top challenges in the sector include lack of rental fleet availability, high cost to operate and maintain the current fleet, availability, or lead time of new trucks, under utilised equipment, and productivity concerns. Are you prepared to meet these challenges?
